Some Before and (almost) Afters

Our house needs a little updating. We are starting with painting and installing new hardwood. The painting happened on Monday and today they are starting on the floors. I feel like we are off to a good start. Here are some before's and some during's (after's are still a ways down the road.)

The dining room before.

The dining room now.

The entry/stairs before.

Entry now.

The stairs now. (I'm stripping and refinishing the stairs à la Centsational Girl)

The formal living room before.

Formal Living After.

P.S. I'm loving the paint color we chose. It is just the right kind of warm grey that I really wanted. I wish I could share the name but it came from a random sample I picked up at the paint store.
