Room and Bored

In the last post carpets were mentioned. Well as much as Mr. & Mrs. Remodel would like to bring in carpet now (since they are a mite tired of walking on bare cement, floorboards, and what yucky carpet is still left) there are still several jobs that need to be done first.
We are at the point in the project where we can really taste the finish line but there are still several weeks of work to go. Our energy and interest levels are flagging but we can’t give up now.

However, the good news was that because the downstairs rooms were completed we were able to move everything in the upstairs bedrooms downstairs making those rooms easy to work in.

Let’s start with Bedroom Two.


At some point, someone had removed the cottage cheese finish from all the ceilings but it was still in the closets so that had to come out.


Plus we took out the carpet in the closet so we could do this.


This is spare tile from the upstairs bathroom.

Although this wasn’t a difficult colour to cover up, the walls themselves needed a lot of patching. This had been a child’s bedroom and the walls were in a rough state.


Ah looking better.


Then up came the carpet. Interestingly, the baseboards were not in bad condition so we decided to keep them and paint them.

Finally we got to replace the temporary paper blinds with cream-coloured vertical blinds by Levelor.
