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 . . .

Painting kids room

Told you I would be back with some kids room painting :)

They are sooo in love with the new bedrooms, and they are upstairs, how cool is that to have a whole level and a bathroom all for themselves? Trust me, they are so eager to get paint done that one bedroom isn't even getting painted, just a good cleaning and new window treatments!!

Alright, they are excited, let's head up there now

heathens!!!

Here is the first bedroom that is NOT getting painted

 just waiting for it to be emptied out so we can get in and scrub down walls, replace window treatments and scrub the gorgeous hardwood floors, both bedrooms upstairs are identical in size, just mirror opposites with the bathroom in between the rooms

here we go to the second bedroom, the once pretty and serene bedroom

"before"

has now turned into a "cosmic blue" nightmare for me, I really really don't like this dark paint but hey, it is the kids room, so I guess I had to cave in and let Grandma buy this paint right? Who can argue with Grandma!!

yes, as you can see, it got a first coat of paint on it, and my golly gosh, it's going to need another coat and much trim painting done, since this is my daughter's room, yes, surprised you didn't I? skateboard and blue paint? well not the boys' room, but daughters!!!

Should have seen that one coming eh?

she just isn't right!!!*@!* 0^0

but you can see she is VERY happy with the new room

Thanks a lot Grandma!!

so yep, even though I dislike VERY MUCH this color, I will deal with it for now, but you can bet when it comes time to do a repaint job in this room, I don't care how OLD she is at that time, SHE is priming and painting it, that was the deal we made! so there!

my luck she will never leave LOL
