Tuesday- Finished Girl's Room

Mornin!

We finally got that storm that was supposed to come on Friday.  It just came later than expected! 

We had a nice weekend.  With no school on Friday, we were able to get a lot of work done on C's room.  

In order to paint, we moved a lot of stuff into the kitchen.  It stayed like this for 2 days.

The room is getting ready to be painted.

C's taking down the stuff from her bulletin board so we can paint the trim white.

Only one more little spot of pink to paint! 

Here's how the room looks now.  C got rid of the top bunk, which went back into N's room.  (We dismantled the full size bed from N's room and put the mattress in the trailer, until we can figure out what to do with it.) The heart table that C and her friend painted got a coat of wax to help protect it. C only had to buy the blue blanket.  She used some money she got for Christmas.

Here it is Before.


Here's the bulletin board corner. We primed the outside of the shelves with High Hiding primer and did one coat of the Semi-gloss White paint, but you can still sorta see the window outlines where I drew then on with Sharpies. The desk top got sanded and finished in two coats of Semi-gloss white paint.  We'll see how it holds up. The secretary insert is on top of the desk.

The ceiling is all finished.  I did one coat of primer mixed with flat white paint.  It covered fairly well, but still has a bit of a pink tint.  It was a lot of work and made me never want to paint a ceiling again!

Before


The closet corner.  The colorful curtain still goes with the new paint color.  The little shelf below the mirror also got a coat of wax.

It seems a lot fresher now and not so crowded.  And C likes it so I'm glad about that!

Have a good week! :-)
