Before & After Pix (painting / house)

3 posts in one day! Amazing... Well, The painting is done... YAY! I am SO EXCITED - the rooms look completely different... so here is the grand unveiling... just know that I haven't put anything back on the walls or even cleaned up much... I am planning to take my time putting things back, and while I'm doing that, also weed crap out. The only thing left is that eventually we're going to tile the backsplash and around the marble on the fireplace. Oh... and I'm excited to say that my butt is a lot smaller now too since last October! (see that picture below)
BEFORE PIX
Family Room
Kitchen with the original color cabinets / old paint & big butt
AFTER PIX
Same Kitchen, Cream (yes, very light cream) Cabinets, "Clary Sage" paint
view from the kitchen into the family room
New Family room colors... (Artichoke on the Bottom and Tan on top with white trim)
View of the fireplace trim
View into the hall & laundry room... used to be yellow
View into the bathroom... used to be red & yellow

It looks fantastic.. how hard was it to paint the kitchen cabinets.. I see this on TV all the time and tink that it would quite a task. Your cabinets look wonderful..and so does the rest of the house.. I am just fixated on the cabinets..
