The first project I am taking on is removing carpet, cleaning up the hardwood, and painting the room that I will be using as my bedroom.
Home Depot seems to be the love of my life right now. A good 2-3 trips/week seem to be about normal. :/
Here is the bedroom 'before', no work done, only furniture removed.
Looks promising. Also, I'm now an expert at removing carpet tack strips.
Carpet gone! ... Although cleaning and waxing has proven to be quite a process.
Carpet in the hallway.
Gone!
Soon you'll be seeing the results of the painting process... This is about how dressed up I get on Friday nights now. Cute, right?!
Don't take chances on your lungs when working with sanders and other various chemicals! Safety first, kids!
EDIT:
Fresh White Ceiling!
Window is primed and baseboards are sanded, patched and sanded again. Finally ready for priming !
After primer and two coats of Sherwin Williams ProClassic , the trim is finished, doors and closets are painted and finally working on the wall color - Gray!
Sherwin Williams 'Alpaca'
Painting is finished, took about 1.5 coats...would have only taken one if I had done a better job the first time around and not missed so many spots. Floor is waxed, I chose not to refinish them at this point, just clean them up...I don't mind the character. For places with extra "character", there are always area rugs.
Cleaned up these antique pieces that G and G had in another room. I decided they were too pretty to be 'spare' furniture. Cleaned them up with some Murphy's oil spray followed by a couple of coats of furniture oil.
Annnndddd.... Here we are! A complete bedroom. Still needs some sparkly accessories, curtains, and the outlet covers of course, but I am pleased with how it is turning out!
I officially dub this my 'Queen's Chamber'!
Fresh White on window and trim...16 individual panes are a pain!
