kids room updates

As promised, an update on the kids bedroom cleaning and painting
(their job today was to scrub down the hallway to upstairs and clean the gorgeous oak steps
the bathroom upstairs, you can see straight ahead up there, the window glare, we have purchased a mini blind for that bathroom and put down floor laminate tile, and painted a pretty blue with sparkly or glitter in the paint, and a new shower curtain with froggies on it, we tried to match to the '65 accessories that are in there, down the road the yellow will be replaced out with a definite neutral color!

and remember that lovely cosmic blue paint, well she got her second coat of paint on it, made some sheer curtains for the windows and has moved a few pieces of furniture in, got the fans to dry the paint, or at least help dry it faster!
 some fussy gal didn't want hardwood floors in her bedroom, so she ran around the house and found every stitch of carpet pieces and laid out in her room!!
the "bump out" or dormer area of her room, you can see that I need to help her with the trim painting around the closet door and I taped off the ceiling so she could paint it without having it all blue or wavy, these upstairs rooms with the goofy ceiling/wall angle are always hard to figure out what to do with

and then the boys room, cleaned up and moving a couple things in already so he has entertainment while we finish other paint jobs
 sorry for the blur, didn't realize it was like that or would have snapped better picture! the fans are for help in drying all the walls and floors from scrubbing
and here is his little "bump out" or dormer area with his closet and tv already set up LOL

ONE WEEK TILL WE MOVE IN and we are still waiting on the removal of a piano in our bedroom!
 the good news is that the bed has been removed, we have cleaned the flooring, painted the walls, added all the new roman shades and moved some furniture in
but that piano is still waiting for a new home, 10 days left, sure hope they get it soon
also, this home has old baseboard heaters, we have a new furnace that will be going in along with centrail air unit, those baseboard heaters will be coming off the walls! but first we have to install the furnace, run all the duct work for it as well as cut the holes in the floor for the register vents

computer/office room is filling up with my desk and excess furniture
yup, things are moving right along :0)
coming up next time, some pretty new mulch is started and the critters will be getting moved in
stay tuned . . .
