THE room redo

The room before the redo
Everything from the room went to the only empty room in the house... the living room. For a week it wasn't accessible to anyone. Also note that the front door is barricaded :)
It was nice and all organized into boxes too... psych
The empty room before we started the cleaning process.
:) the infamous wax stain. that has been there for a couple years. If you want to hear the story you have to ask Dianne about it
we scrapped the walls, peeled all the tape off, pulled the baseboards off and vacuumed all the floors
it was hard work... and some people got a little tired ;)
we also washed the walls, twice! we were awesome wall washers by the end of all this.
it was so much fun to spend time with my sisters. We spent the whole day washing walls together. Laughing and talking and jamming out to some Taylor Swift! I love my sisters and I am so blessed to have them in my life

when we were cleaning the room we were taking down some of the mirrors... well i broke a couple, i know seven years of bad luck, but we had so much fun with the broken pieces! it entertained us for a good half hour
  
 
 
Finally time to paint! we were so excited. we ended up painting a primer and two top coats!

Mom and I made a good team

My" happy little tree" dedicated to bob ross
Dianne and Kristin painted the baseboards and did a wonderful job! they are such hard workers

We got the walls painted, the baseboards on and the new carpet! i think it turned out wonderfully :)

the finished product! i love it. i think that the Althouse girls did a wonderful job all on their own
