Bedroom Reveal

This room is not finished. I have long list of things that I still need to do but it was far enough along that we could move the kids and their stuff back in. This project has taken far too long and I really needed my living room back.

So as a reminder, this is the before photo.



Here are some after photos.









We put in a new window, sanded the walls (because they were texturized), ripped up the old carpet, sanded the floor, painted, put up trim, painted, painted, and painted. There was more painting than there should have been in this room and that is completely my fault. But lessons were learned so next time it won't take us 6 months to finish a room.

We still need to touch up the paint (yes, more painting), organize the closet, and I need to figure out what I am going to do with their furniture and what color I want the furniture to be. We need to buy a desk for C and, at the very least, I need to remove the dinosaur stickers from their dressers. I love Goo Gone.

I like it. I think it looks "farm housey" which is good since we live in an old farm house.

I just LOVE the walls! They are fabulous. What did you do on the floors? Paint them? Stain? They are stunning!

Hey Melanie, just curious how the floors are holding up? And also, did you prime before painting or put poly over the top at all? I'm getting ready to paint my bedroom floors - want to do it right this time. :)
