The first two rooms (and only so far) we’ve painted are the guest bathroom and office. Here’s the guest bath:

I can’t for the life of me get a good, nonblurry pic of the other half of the bathroom, but trust me, it’s a standard bathroom. We’ll add a couple of white shelves and some artwork my aunt painted for me a few years ago.

A couple of views of the office, complete with our DIY artwork!

I want to sew a curtain for the window and make a fabric-covered bulletin board for above my desk in that same fabric. A new desk chair and a red lamp will complete the room. When we get a laptop, we’ll move the personal computer stuff out of the room and replace it with our perfect-for-apartments-but-way-too-small-for-a-house dining room table, sanded and painted black, so I have another work space.

The artwork was very quick and easy, and we’re now inspired to try other techniques for DIY artwork in other rooms. We used the same blue wall color and added the red. A few flicks of the wrist later, we had these great abstract paintings. They turned out exactly how I envisioned them. Total cost: $23.

I probably should have taken these pics in the daylight, but I was just too excited to post about our artsy weekend.
