Originally the living room walls were the same dark paneling as the bedroom and the dining room was a faded mint green. It's amazing what a can of paint can do.
Phase two was installing laminate flooring. We did most of it ourselves but did hire a pro to come in and do the more difficult parts at the end.
As soon as we moved in we pulled off the kitchen's old floral wallpaper with one tug. Because its dark wood cabinets made the room seem really dingy, we removed all the hardware, filled the holes in the doors, painted them cream, and added new hardware. We replaced the worn countertop with a stock one from Lowe's and painted the backsplash and walls.
Phase 2 saw the addition of a new kitchen floor: the same laminate flooring that we were installing in the living and dining rooms.
Phase 3: We tore out two kitchen walls, glazed the cabinets (Sherwin Williams' French Roast, very easy to do), bought new appliances, and put in a new kitchen island with breakfast bar. Oh, and we got rid of the fluorescent fixtures and added pendant and can lights. I'm sorry that I don't have any photos of these changes yet.
