Love this thread! So many beautiful and inspiring homes.
You'll have to excuse the terrible iphone pictures. They're all I've got to work with right now.
The living room beforeAnd "after." Nothing is ever really done in any house I live in.

There's another side to the room, behind the camera, but it's not even close to finished. I did this whole room (with the exception of the $400 couch that we've had for a few years) for $165.
I'm kicking myself for not taking a before of the 1/2 bathroom, but here is the
after.cieling
The walls were (are) paneled in some bizarre mustard colored laminate that's glued to the plaster walls, so I left them up and painted them a very light grey. The "far" wall used to have an old metal upper cabinet covered in metallic contact paper. When I removed it, I realized that someone cut a major corner and decided not to panel back there, so I just hung a curtain on a tension rod to cover it.
This makeover was entirely free. The paint was leftover from my office, the china cabinet was repurposed from the dining room, and all of the accessories were just lying around waiting for a home.
Thanks for looking!
I'll post more rooms with better pictures as we finish them.
ETA: That is NOT my stuff in the "before."
