At the end of May I closed on my first house! It came to a point that I was bidding on houses I had not even looked at or been inside. So finally it was getting closer and closer to things actually going through on this house, but I didnt want to jinx it. I thought for sure that the inside was going to smell like a dead body or something because everything was going so smoothly. One day I went to go see the outside of the house, just a drive by and as I was looking around, I saw a little group of quail go across the yard and that was my sign, that this was the house...you know cause its on quail street and I love quails. I had always envisioned doing a before and after post of the house so this is my best shot.
Front yard
The pool was a work in progress, it wasnt till the end of the summer that I realized how much chlorine and when it needed chlorine
Master Bedroom/Bath
You cant really tell from these pictures, but the owner took what I thought was brown paper bags, ripped them up and then glued them to the walls. It was disgusting! Plus in the master bathroom she used some kind of sandpaper brown paint.
I know choosing a teal color was a little drastic, but I just thought, when am I ever going to have whatever color I want, and I do totally love the color.
Kitchen
In one of my favorite movies, the living room is painted yellow. My living room and kitchen are connected and I didnt see a really good stop line, so I ended up just painting everything yellow! Something I probably wouldnt do again, but everything has been a learning experience.
There was no lighting in the living room, just what looked like as a fan outlet and a fire alram plug. I was going to put in just 4 lights on the perimeter but when I actually got in the space, I could tell I could use some more, so I ended up putting 8 plus a middle fan that has 3 more lights.

Bedrooms
The crazy lady, also put the brown paper bag technique in one of the other rooms
The bedrooms and bathroom just got a neutral light tan paint color

Bathroom
Atleast in the bathroom the crazy lady used wallpaper, that she ripped up and painted on, thankfully, it was only on one wall.
