Okay so it took us more than a weekend but as you can see worth every minute of scraping, pulling, spackling, mudding (thanks dad!), scrubbing on our hands and knees, painting 2 coats paint, 1 coat primer and 2 more coats paint, and everything else involved in transforming a room :-)
when we pulled the wallpaper off these fancy stripes were staring back at us. It was quite a temptation to leave it as is but . . . :-)
Painting is finally done - now to tackle the carpet!
We knew that there was hardwood under the carpet but didn't know what kind of condition it would be in. We were so pleasantly surprised to see it was in EXCELLENT shape! Some glue to wash up and some staples to take out and that was it!
The floor took quite a bit of work - we used Dif (wallpaper remover) and scrubbed on our hands and knees with scotchbrite pads!
We decided to make this into the guest bedroom and the former guest room into an office/homeschool room (I'll post pics of that too later) Doesn't it look GREAT!! :-)
very nice!! :]
