Tag Archives: Home I’ve been told that things are never officially “done” when it comes to home improvements. But one thing’s for sure, a fresh coat of paint does makes a difference and it’s one of the simplest ways to change up a room. Unfortunately painting hasn’t been that simple for us. The paint is cracked in certain areas of the house, so […]  Since our house is a center hall colonial (the hallway/staircase is the first thing you see when you walk through the front door), it was important that this be one of the first projects we tackle. It seemed like a fairly simple one, but boy were we wrong! And as you can tell by the […]

Wow, I can definitely tell the difference! Working on beautifying a home is definitely hard work, but the payoff is worth it :)

Eek! Painting stairs is no fun whatsoever . . . luckily, the end result makes it all worthwhile. So congrats on a job well done–it looks great! Looking forward to the rest of the “tour.” :)

Those hardwood floors are beautiful! Great home choice!

I really like the grey walls. I recently painted one of my bedroom walls grey and I’m loving it!
February 16, 2012 - 11:29 am
This is looking amazing already! Our walls are a very similar shade of gray – love it!

Wow, already such an improvement – I should send you pics of the current state of our hallway stairs – it’ll make you love your stairs even more!! :)

What a difference! You’ve done a great job – and I don’t even want to think how much work it was.
February 17, 2012 - 9:48 am
Gah! Maddy the difference is incredible! The two of you are doing such an amazing job with this project! :)
February 17, 2012 - 2:23 pm
It’s really looking good so far, Maddy! I can’t wait to see more!
February 17, 2012 - 2:39 pm
The transformation looks wonderful – it definitely does look better than before (even without the railing!)

I love hearing about this stuff. It keeps me motivated. WE’RE STILL PICKING OUT PAINT COLORS for the first floor but at least its something

The difference is palpable !! :) a successful completion of a project is such a hugely satisfying and rewarding feeling, even if it can be challenging at times.

It’s amazing how paint can make all the difference in the world. Happy house fixin’!

Looks so good! I love the wall color as well.  It’s hard to believe that we’re in the middle of winter! The weather has been incredibly mild (in the 50’s) in New Jersey and things are already starting to bloom. Since we purchased the house in late fall, it’s the first time we’ll get to see what types of flowers grace our property. We already spotted […]

So pretty Maddy! I absolutely love it. It will be fun to see all the loveliness that pops up around you : )
February 5, 2012 - 8:56 am
How lovely! So nice to see the first sprigs of Spring shooting up.
February 5, 2012 - 10:38 am
Absolutely beautiful! I am in love with cherry blossoms! :)
February 5, 2012 - 3:10 pm
That’s quite amazing, Maddy (while there’s a big freeze here in Europe). & what a beautiful photo!
February 5, 2012 - 3:42 pm
Pretty! I’m excited to see what else blossoms around the new place :)
February 6, 2012 - 7:37 am
Beautiful. Sigh.
February 6, 2012 - 9:50 am
Just wait until u start gardening n have/put pretty flowers everywhere :)
February 6, 2012 - 10:00 am
Love this image! It has been quite a nice winter hasn’t it? It is downright warm here!
February 6, 2012 - 12:04 pm
so pretty…love the editing and the soft colors. certainly feels like spring, no? where’s my snow?!?!
February 6, 2012 - 12:43 pm
How beautiful Maddy!
February 6, 2012 - 1:09 pm
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
February 6, 2012 - 9:27 pm
I adore cherry blossoms…these look so much like them.
February 6, 2012 - 10:32 pm
That is so lovely! The only time we see cherry blossoms around here is around Chinese New Year. How cool to have it right in your own yard! You should walk around the tree once… for luck!
February 6, 2012 - 10:33 pm
That looks so pretty! Haha, even though it’s warmer outside than usual this winter, I’m still cold! But that may because it’s still pretty chilly inside the office. lol
February 8, 2012 - 2:09 am
Nice photo, I like that delicious crisp light and those colors, pure beauty with that delicaso approach. Greetings.
February 8, 2012 - 5:23 am
Oh, wow! This is a lovely image, especially for winter months!
February 8, 2012 - 3:58 pm
You live in New Jersey?! I’m sucked in. I lived there for almost two years and loved it. AND love those flowers.
February 8, 2012 - 4:11 pm
beautiful photo. this winter has been the weirdest!? not complaining.
February 8, 2012 - 9:39 pm
if you spot any Japanese magnolias, please take a pic for me. it’s my favorite tree–they only bloom for a few weeks in Feb.

Beautiful…I love everything about this! Tiffany |

Tiera - Oh my gosh, this sounds like the most tedious process ever! You’ll feel SO accomplished when you’re done, and I can’t wait to see it!
Sabine - Oh Maddy, I’ve done this, and dear, it is a LOT of work. But it will be so worth it – and it looks like you’ve got some helpful hands for support :)
Buckeroomama - Kudos to you guys for taking it upon yourselves to do this! It’s going to be doubly satisfying once it’s done, knowing that you did it yourselves (without pro help, that is). =)
Pink Ronnie - Love how you make a room like that look good!
Have thoroughly enjoyed catching up on your blog posts and also love the blog revamp!
Ronnie xo
Life with Kaishon - Can you get a machine for it?
Some day you will look back and laugh at how much craziness it took to get the house up to par!
Amy - If I was there I would totally help you–it’s definitely a job that requires moral support. Just remember, it will be all kinds of fabulous once it’s finished–good luck and happy chipping!
PS-Your “crack is wack” killed me! :)
yummychunklet - You’re off to a great DIY job! Kudos!
Mindy - thats a lot of chipped paint! you got a lot done, and now the fun part of putting the room together can start!
The Guilty Hyena - The lazy me would be tempted to hire a sandblaster machine, but nothing beats the traditional diligent process of using our own hands, and helps when you have a few helping hands !! and cranking up some music to go along with it !! It will all feel satisfying when you’ve sat in the office chair gazing out of the window. :)
Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - There has to be an easier way to do this, but we are still figuring our way around how to do these kinds of things. I’m hoping we’ll find an easier method for the next room because that’s a big one!
Camila Faria - Oh WOW, so many paint chips. Be careful not to drown!!! ;)
Gloria - “Crack is whack” made me burst out laughing :-) This looks like HARD work! I didn’t even realize you had to chip old paint off like that – I would’ve guessed some kind of paint thinner would be in play. Shows how much I know, haha
Elle Sees - now that you’re an expert, come to my house and chip away!
Meg Sullivan - You all are so ambitious! and nice that you have good help. Can;t wait to see the finished product.
Meg
Bonnie - I don’t think I would have the patience to do this. Kudos to you!
