Before & After: Painting

The painting is complete (has been for a few days now) and the muscles in my back are still in mild protest! It was annoying to be painting so many rooms in a house that we don't even want to live in anymore, but we were happy to do it if it meant selling this place and finally moving on - and out.

No such luck, yet, but we're still hopeful.

I think the hardest thing to swallow about all of this is that had we been told by our first Realtor to stage and clear everything out, we would have. But he didn't say anything, and was so confident that we would sell...we didn't.

Below are the after & before pictures. Keep in mind, it's very rainy and grey here so I did all I could do in Photoshop (quickly). They're not artfully taken, as they're going in the MLS listing for the house, so I tried to keep them as plain and simple as I could.
