The atomic ranch was essentially turn-key move-in condition, but of course we wanted to do a few things right away to make it ours. First on the agenda was a bit of painting...the previous owners had painted the entire interior but with the exception on two walls in the living room, we didn't like any of the colors they'd chosen. That's putting it a bit mildly...the colors in the kitchen and the den actually made me a little queasy. They had to go. So...as soon as we had the keys in our hands we stopped off at
the paint store (shout out to Rita, she was super helpful and friendly)(and thanks to Tiffany for the store recommendation) and picked out our colors. Then we had the hardwood floors refinished too. Here are some of the before and after paint/refinishing pictures. I apologize that the colors are not completely accurate, but lighting, flash, blah blah excusicakes.
The Living Room
Note the sickly yellow/lime, also found in the den and on one dining room wall. It initially bothered me a lot that each wall was a different color, but we stuck with that scheme since the green/gray on the south wall was nice, so we just covered the yellow with a warm "tumeric."
