So, this is my baby....LOL the only thing I have to show for nine months. We bought our house last November... with alot of remodeling intentions .... our bedroom being one of the last. It quickly turned into the first the first day we moved in. Going into the master bedroom, it had pepto bismol colored walls and a large, green, shag carpet. I immediately wanted to pull up the carpet before we got our bed set up for the night. Well, what we found was 30 years worth of mold and mildew. Whoever put the carpet down, put a layer of plastic inbetween the carpet and the padding, so everytime they shampooed the carpet it held the moisture in. We spent hours in masks, goggles, and gloves scraping the crud up. The floor was completely black. I was so distheartened that the home inspectors didn't catch this. We could have gotten sooo sick if I had not insisted that we get rid of an ugly carpet. It took forever to sand it and polyurethane it and I am bummed that I didn't get a before pic, but here is an after pic:
The we had the daunting task of scraping paint off of wallpaper and then steaming the wallpaper off the entire room. Essentially we had to go over the entire room 2 times. Spackle and sand... prime and paint and this is what we got....

The wall color was supposed to be more of a gray, but it turned out to be more of a purple... oh well, DH has a girly room now
Because I did most of the work in the bedroom, I requested a new bed. Soooo that is what I chose!!! I am sooo happy to have one room in the house done! WooHoo!!!! Oh don't mind the bare walls... while I say that it's done.... it's
almost done... LOL
