And, sorry, no pictures yet to show, but it is absolutely incredible what whitewashing can do for a room. Now, I use the term whitewash pretty loosely, because so far, it has only been trim and door frames and the insides of closets that have gotten that refreshing clean glow. (Isn't whitewashing where one just slathers white paint all over everything in sight? That's definitely not what I'm talking about - in fact, that looks pretty sorry itself.) But what a glow! Take a look at the pictures of the walls that have been painted so far and you can see how wide the door frames are inside the house. Now, imagine getting a close up shot of those frames in sparkling white and you will get an idea of the difference it makes to the big picture.
What really amazes both my blog partner and me is why in the world would 1) people want to paint those places an ugly sea-foam, aquarium algae green color like we found underneath, and 2) why is such a simple step in beautification not taken more often? I will be posting some pictures here soon which will hopefully demonstrate as much as possible this effect. Obviously, the only way to fully appreciate it is to see it "live," so maybe if someone is looking for a way to brighten up an otherwise dull and drab room, this will give you a good starting point.
