Bedroom Progression

The carpet is in and Jonathan put up some bead board or wainscoting, bottom kick board and chair rail on 1 wall in Brady's room:

Takes a long time to paint, cut and patch the nail holes . . . One day this room will be done ;) If it wouldn't rain so much, we could go outside and paint everything in 1 day . . . and if Jonathan didn't have the flu for a few days last week, could have been a little further along - ahhhh, life ;)Loving it so far though!

We did order 2 Murphy Bed Mechanisms for Brady & Keaton's bedrooms - hmmmm, another project - LoL

Vertical Stripes Done!

Brady's chore yesterday was to stick up long pieces of tape where I marked off the sections - the tape is only stuck on at the top of the wall - and it was VERY helpful =)

Jonathan & I then leveled out the tape lines and secured them to the walls today. Long process and extremely nice to have help with this =)

I love it . . . but now there is touch up work . . . I'll have to tackle it tomorrow or the next day!

Another great task to assign as a chore is rinsing out the paint rollers - LoL I am a mean mom ;)

A lot of work!!

Working on the upstairs remodeling it from scratch is a lot of work . . . so much so that I don't recommend YOU ever thinking you'd like to do it one day ;)

Skylight framed in, new lights, electrical outlets, bay window seat, walls completely mudded (so there's no bumpy texture), sanded and primed. It takes a lot of time to do it yourself - thanks Jonathan =)

I just like the painting and decorating part myself, but I try to help out with the grunt work a little ;) Brady's room is 4 shades of blue, the lightest blue being on the ceiling only. I started today and did the smallest wall with random stripes. I was going to do horizontal stripes, but Brady wanted vertical - I think it'll look cool when it's done. We're going to put bead board on the bottom and a chair rail around the top of that. We'll add crown moulding to the top so painting isn't that bad when I don't have to be exact!

And still have to finish the bench seat, order the ceiling fan, give the window a sill, carpet, closet, construct a Murphy bed, 2 doors - ahhhhh, I think I will stop with my list as it is seeming like a long ways a way to be done still =(
