Wow! Looks great Rue!

 

[Miss Golightly]

Rue - your home is beautiful and so cosy looking - the archway separating the two rooms - well, I just love it - what an unusual shape! Looking forward to seeing more photos when you are unpacked!

Like so many others before me I just wanted to say: Rue, this is a beautiful house - and what you did with it is even more beautiful. It is breathtaking! I'm a little envious...

Nice house. Girly. But nice.

By the way, Ma'am: when's the house warming party? I'd fly all the way from Germany to Arizona just to be part of that!

Aww.... that's sweet! As soon as I'm ready for one I'll let you know

I'm actually thinking about organizing a get together out here for all the Arizona Loungers anyway, but anyone that was willing to could come

Ok so here is our house form the outside for those of you who haven't seen it, this is our big pink house. Here are the pictures that were being asked for. The only thing I didn't put in here is the basement because it's no fun. We haven't changed the outside of the house except to add a flag mount so we can have the stars and stripes outside everyday.

hall from the from before us

Now

The hall from the back of the house before us

Now (we changed the hall/ foyer color from an awful tan to a neutral historic preservation yellow all the colors we picked are historic preservation colors)

The kitchen before us (fire engine red)

Now it's a much more me shade of green

Now

 

[Grant Fan]

Full bath before (complete with pink wainscoting and purple walls)

Now (blue green walls and white wainscoting)

original hardware from 1925

The really nice and to be honest much more costly than we could have ever indulged in scones they put up

The attic that we hope to renovate into a master suite

The half bath that never seems to get better only worse, it's awful but the plan is to put in a white pedestal skin and put up paintable wallpaper with a bamboo pattern and paint it a light green.

Rue you house is lovely, I particularly adore the ceiling/ archway detailing

 

[rue]

Wow Grant fan! You've done a wonderful job on the house bringing it back to it's beautiful self and I love that yellow! Mind if I ask what color it is?
