One year ago tomorrow, we moved into what we affectionately refer to as: The Pink Palace". In every room (except the kitchen and downstairs bathroom) there was pink carpet, the walls and ceilings are lighter shades of pink, the toilet, sink, and tub in the master bath are pink. When i first saw this house on Craigslist, i said "No way!" However, the house is a short walk to Bill's office, affords us phenomenal views of Mt. Juneau and Gastineau Channel, and is very charming (underneath all the pink!) I thought i would finally share some before and after pics...
This is the living room as viewed from the dining area.
The front windows look towards the channel.
Here is the room the afternoon we moved in.
We asked for the furniture and drapery to be removed.
Here is the same room with our new tv and stand
(tv purchased in Juneau, stand purchased in CT before the move).
Bill did an awesome job ripping out the carpet and shining up the floors.
Without the carpet, the pink walls and ceilings don't seem as pink.
The window shades are pink, but we rarely close them now.
Here is the room again, but now with our super comfy couch. If you sit in the corner, it is guaranteed that you will fall asleep!
Here is a view of the living area mostly set up and with the new carpet. Most of the girls toys are upstairs, but we move them around to different areas of the house.
Keep checking back for more before and after pics... Of course, the best way to see the changes is from inside... We hope you will visit soon! ;)
