Well, actually, I am not sure! HA! If you only knew how many paint color samples were taped to the wall before I painted! I stayed in a beige / tan family. It adds a little color without being too dark. For this little house I was careful not to get anything too dark! I painted the boys room a couple of shades darker (not dark though) of a color named "Dust" --I thought it was appropriate for a boys room! And my room is a green color from a $5 "opps" can of paint in the clearance section! Look there first...we found great finds there! Christine–

I know when we remodeled our little house, I really loved it. I miss having modern stuff! I know we traded a fully updated little house for a big house with lots of cosmetic needs...and I know our house will one day be "up to date" but I can so relate to the yellow outdated stove! The house we are in now is dark, full of wood paneling, terribly outdated appliances, and cabinets, only 1 bathroom works, and we need to landscape something awful! But, all in good time! I'm thankful for the space - and thankful that in the next 12 months we will pay off our cars and then only have the house payment! And THEN the fun begins! Then we will completely remodel the house! YAY!!! I love the before and after photos. You guys have worked really hard. Congrats on the farm! I was just thinking the other day how I really really really want to move out of the city - in about 5 years. I want to work on building my ballet business - we have the garage almost fully enclosed and I'll be teaching from home next year - whoo hoo - but in about 5 yrs I'd like to open a "real studio" and then sell this house (sans the ballet studio in the garage - we will have to convert it back to a garage - but that's ok... it's a means to an end) and then buy a house on some land! Not a working farm, mind you, but just some space - and lots of oak trees!! Your house is gorgeous! I love the floors, cabinets, appliances - you guys did a really great job!!

My husband and I are getting ready to move into a cottage and I want to paint the walls a similar color to the walls in your dining room. Just curious... Thanks! What color are your walls?

My husband hung the sheetrock mostly in one day with the help of a friend who had some handy dandy tools to make the job a bit easier. The sheet rock was a huge improvement though...it made a world of difference. cost wise...i am not sure what it cost to replace the paneling. no sheetrock under the paneling here…. we literally had a large portion of the house down to the studs.

Or did you have to start fresh? I'm asking because I've got that awful looking paneling in my kitchen (and in the rest of the house too), and want to so bad get rid of it, just don't know how bad it would be on my budget First of all your kitchen looks wonderful. . . and I’ve got a question: Was there sheetrock under the wood paneling?

The only thing with doing all the work to the house yourself is that you see your house a bit differently than if you buy it already done. I see the counter tops or the cabinets or even the flooring...and think...we laid this floor or it was a ton of work to hang these cabinets. We took lots of pictures before and after....and in the process so I am planning on putting together a picture book of all the work so we never forget!
