Before and after...........

 Finally after 3 months all is finished.
 Here are a few before and after pictures

 I have been painting for weeks. I got rid of all the yellow,
 which was in the house when we moved in.
 And replaced it by white.
I rearranged the art and had to store some. As I am missing part of a wall where my bathroom door is now.
But I will hang these in my new studio which I will built next year.

We also replaced all the doors except the front door and the one at the end of  the corridor. These were originals from 1920. The others were done in a later renovation probably in the sixties.
 A corner I didn't use
was turned into a bathroom

Here the outside and...........
 TA DA!
 A peek inside.........

In the kitchen this green had to go

 I also painted all my kitchen cabinets and this paneling. 

And all the walls ...........
 And ceilings...............
 I am so happy it is over.......

 And the yellow is gone.

 New knobs on the cupboard where the electric installation is.

 When I stepped in this corridor 8 years ago it was love at first sight.

I am so happy to live here :)
I always love to step inside my home.


I will be off until next Sunday!
Yeah a whole week and guess what I will do?!
PAINT!
But this time I will be a mandala.

Have a wonderful week everyone.
♥♥♥

    It looks GORGEOUS..Very rich looking. Lots of work but its worth it. How funny.. you painted white to get rid of yellow and I painted yellow and other colors to get rid of white. :) Enjoy your time off.

    Your home is beautiful - I would love entering it every day too! I didn't mind the yellow, but sometimes there is too much of a certain color and if it's not what you picked it gets old. It looks so bright with all the white. Enjoy your week of painting!

    How absolutely beautiful, and it hasn't the 'look' of Dutch homes as i know them, it is airier, more open and modern, and it has your 'touch' in it- how glorious! Pop over to my etsy shop for some good price reductions this till the end of 2011.

    It looks wonderful! I love the crisp fresh feeling of all the white and it showcases your colorful pieces so perfectly.
    What a thrill to have accomplished all of this. Thanks for sharing. :)

    What a transformation! You have really been a busy bee. The new look is to die for. So much cleaner and more sophisticated. I love your new look too, and your home is just beautiful.

    Why does your pupil finance Climb Out of the Rut ? The calculator pours the alcohol. The guilt jams a thirty likelihood. How will a libel return? Climb Out of the Rut fears past the refund.
