( there is a nice frenchy mirror in there,not getting it's just deserves... I will re-use elsewhere)
We are trying to break it down into phases.
Phase 1.. Get rid of all the old furniture we didn't want to repurpose. It was all hand me down furniture from the older children. It really was time for her own new stuff.
Phase 2.. Tear out the ugly rug that had been the last living relic of rug alive in this old house, and hope we can have the hardwood underneath refinished.
Phase 3 ...Get busy painting walls, while we wait for the new furniture, and paint this headboard.
Phase 4 ...Install new flooring ( Hardwood didn't work out) and put furniture in place.
Phase 5 .. Picking out Window dressing, decor items, Bedding.
So we have begun.
Phase 1 ...begun June 9 (leaving for a vacay on June 10)
We got rid of the ugly old beat up dresser and chest, and emptied the room of everything... Check
Phase 2.. June 10
I figured it was a good time to begin the rug tear out, when we were going on vacation because she would not need to sleep in her bed, and we could get the hardwood floors refinished in there while we were away.
Big mistake.... the guy who came to tear out the rug and refinish the floors said the wood had damage and raised his price to make them "look good". Because I wasn't home to see for myself. We told him forget it, and we would get laminate floors and someone else does that. So i ordered the laminate while on vacay ( thinking I would save some time ) But when I got home realized the wood was not so bad at all anyway and I probably should have just had them refinished, even if I called a different guy. But the laminate floor was already bought and paid and we were waiting for delivery , so I went that way. So it left us time to move to phase 3...paint ...which we did. for 3 days. Check
Phase 3..
We got back from vacay and got busy with our paints. Mary wanted a room with an accent wall.
Like those clean scandinavian designs, where just one wall is different, sometimes with wallpaper, but her's was just going to be paint, and perhaps a painting, on canvas. It took us a few days because we had to do all the shelves in the closets too...
So these are the colors we liked most
Behr "valley mist" a pale pretty green for 3 walls ( it is much lighter than it looks here)
Behr sapphire berry for the accent wall that her bed will go against..
Behr Pensive sky a pale grey for the ceiling and for the trim. I love that name pensive sky.
It's a real soft frenchy grey
So here is the room all freshly painted.
The window wall, in "Valley Mist"
And the three colors together the trim, accent wall and main wall
Here is another view of the accent wall meeting the green wall. with pensive sky on the ceiling and trim.
After we finished the painting, we moved on to Phase 4 and in went the floor. You can see the pale green walls a bit better in this one.
Great floor it only took 4 hours
.here is the floor completed and all cleaned up It is Asian Mahoghany from Home Depot. It is a laminate but it looks like real wood.
Phase 5 coming soon... , The new furniture and home decor items!! yippee. and a sneak peek at what Mary's new furniture looks like....a beachy vibe.
Can you guess where I might go for Home decor items? Where would you go? for bedding, and lamps, and drapes, throw pillows and such?
gonna run over to the linky party at

I believe everything said was actually very logical.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what about this? what if you added a little
content? I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a title that grabbed a person's
attention? I mean "Remodeling Mary's room Phase 1 & 2 & 3" is a little boring.
You could look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write post headlines to get people interested. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab people excited about what you've
written. In my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.

I don't leave many responses, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Remodeling Mary's room Phase 1 & 2 & 3". And I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Is it only me or does it look like a few of these comments look like they are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other online social sites, I would like to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your communal pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

I was moved enough to post a thought ;-) I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's okay. Could it be simply me or do a few of these remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing at additional sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you list the complete urls of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
