Hello friends!
It’s been only a month-and-a-half since my last post - a new record in consistent posting!
I’ve been busy lately, but not with photo sessions. 2 weeks ago, my husband and I bought a new house! So today I’m bringing you a short before and after of my kids’ rooms in our new home, since they are the rooms that we focused on painting first.
So this post isn’t technically photography related, but I myself LOVE a good before & after and thought I would share for others who like them as well!
The rooms aren’t completely styled yet, as I have some furniture to refinish and more things to hang on the walls. Without further ado:
Before move in / process photo
G’s room - photos taken during different times of day. In the early morning her room just GLOWS with peachy/golden light.
It’s probably my favorite room in the house so far!
For both kid’s rooms I wanted to do a fun accent with paint. For G’s room I lightly marked the corners and the highest point of each scallop, but I painted them freehand. Same with T’s yellow below. I wanted the accents to have a whimsical feel, and I think that if I had taped and stenciled, the lines would have been too sharp and stuffy.
Before (Listing photo) - these walls took so. much. paint.
Progress! I wanted a very happy/sunny room and I think I achieved that.
T’s room - western/desert themed
On a philosophical note, why do so many people love before & afters? What makes them so satisfying to our inner psyche? I think for a lot of them, no matter what type they are (appearance, home, clothing, furniture, etc) they show that things CAN be changed, oftentimes even easier then we think. It is interesting to see how what you have can be made totally brand new. Please let me know your thoughts on this topic! I’ve been thinking about it a lot the past weeks as we have been working on our home. Join the conversation below!
