almost every "before" has bare walls.no wonder they look so drab.they need pictures or art and that alone would help.

What's the light grey paint color on the walls in #3? The picture with the yellow lamps and red blanket draped on the bed. Thanks. I'm looking for a grey for my walls. Hard to pick the right Grey shade. I have red accents in my house so this shade might work!

How did u paint #10? Did u sand? I have wood paneling in my daughters room & hate it. Want to paint it but with the glossy wood paneling everyone says I need to sand. Trying to go easy! =)

So funny, I was thinking some of the "before" pictures weren't really that bad, but then I saw the "afters" and realized how much color really does make a difference! Wow, some of these rooms are absolutely stunning! Especially that second bedroom photo! Amazing!
