It Hurt Your Eyes

When we bought our first home in April of 2007, I don't think we really knew what we were in for. Matt and I could see that the house had good bones, but she was outdated. I refer to the house as "she" because the previous homeowner was an older woman that had an obsession with peachy-pink paint. Pink walls, pink trim, and in some cases-pink ceilings. All in flat paint. Oh, and how could I forget the pink-beige carpet?! BLECH! I considered it my obligation to turn the uber-feminine house into something that was a little more modern yet inviting.

Does this hurt to look at?
