White Room

We've recently been doing a bit of a remodeling project. With Rachel away at school, Lisa decided she wanted to switch rooms. Her room and Rachel's room are essentially identical, but it's not my job to understand why. Anyway, since we were moving things anyway, we decided it would be a good time to replace the somewhat nasty carpet in the two rooms. And since we were doing that, we might as well paint over the wallpaper in Lisa's room that nobody really likes. And since we were doing that...

Well, you know how it goes.

Here's a "nearly before" photo of Lisa's room, with its rather stained carpet and wallpaper nobody loves.



First we painted primer over the wallpaper...



...then painted with a nice shade of yellow.



We removed the closet doors, took out the old shelving, tore out the carpet, and patched and painted the closet. I wish we'd gotten before/after shots of the closet, which was painted a rather dark tan color, and had about forty holes that we patched.



And, now nearly done! Trim painted to a lighter color, and new carpet in place. The closet still needs new shelving and new doors to replace the falling-apart old ones, but this is what it looks like now.



Here's Rachel's old room with the carpet torn out and the closet patched and painted. This closet wasn't in as bad a shape, but it still had 30+ holes to patch and was a dark tan color inside. We didn't get a photo before pulling up the carpet, but it was the same stuff as Lisa's room, in about as bad a shape.



And, here it is with new carpet.



There's always something to keep us busy...
