Bedroom Makeover!

This bedroom has been one of our main projects over the past month or so. It has undergone a major transformation! We had a lot of fun with this. We're almost done.Check out our progress and the series of events it took to get our room ready.

After we tore the down the closet, all the wall paper, and layers of fake flooring out, we were left with raw wood walls and floors (with a LOT of little nails in them!).

One of the first thing we had to do was take out the thousands of little nails that once held the wall paper in place. It took about 10 solid days of de-nailing to finish this step!!!

Once the nails were out, we began caulking every gap in between the boards and around the edges of the room. (Thanks for the help Theo! We love you!)

Along with the caulking we began to put wood putty over all the nail holes and little (and not so little) imperfections in the wood. Mom, Peter, and Theo were awesome helpers!

Leanna focused on her wood putty work :)

Then we began sanding the walls down...

Notice how many nail holes were filled! (That's how many nails we took out or drove in!)

Honey sweetened ice tea... fuel for a work day :)

Woo hoo! De-nailing, caulk, wood putty, and sanding finished! Here we are- happy, hot, and exhausted!

Now it was time to prime.

Cynthia came out to help!

Jed painted a message :) I love you too Jeddy!
Once the primer was on the painting began. This was really fun... the room was finally coming to life!

The room is now finally painted! Pictures don't do it justice, but it is so beautiful in here now. We went with 3 shades of green for the ceiling, walls, and trim and brown paint on the window pains.

A job well done... I'll post more pictures once our room is all set up too. Thanks for looking!
