More before and afters

I don"t recall if I had mentioned it before, but my home came with a lifesize palmtree. Artistic, yes. But it had to go!!!
The 1st palm tree before and after.

No more palm tree!

Blue walls before...
...and after in the shade of Tangerine Dream.
Then I got electrically inclined while waiting for the paint to dry. It sure takes a lot of coats to get rid of smurf blue!!! This was the entry way lighting. Dull. Before...
And after! I had purchased a light on clearance for a whopping $13! Can't beat that, eh? So much happier!
This is the not so pretty "before" picture of the light in the living room. Yawn and yuck! Before...
And after! Also on clearance! Only $25 marked down from $80.
This was the very last box to be unpacked. Wonder what's inside....
Chargers jersey!!!! Woo hooo!!!!
So here's the nearly finished product. I've got freshly painted base boards.
It's a Tangerine Dream to finally have my own home! Thanks for coming to visit! More pictures to come as I finish other rooms.

Tangerine Dream is dreamy. And your old sorority plack is a hoot!

Kudos on your electrical abilities. You must have gotten those genes from your Dad....

Love your new light fixtures! Really classes up the place.
You are really giving a whole new look to your place from that living on a tropical island look. Now you will have to give another party for those that saw that and now can admire what good taste really looks like.
Love you, G-ma D
