It's been forever since we gave a house update, hasn't it? Well, we've had some setbacks, but I think we're on track again. We better be, because I really want to sleep in my own bedroom rather than my future walk-in closet!
As you may remember, when we moved in, the bedroom looked something like this:
 |
| Baby blue flowers, how nice |
And then we discovered this:
 |
| Why WOULDN'T there be Jungle wallpaper underneath? |
And this:
 |
| Notice that under Layer 1? Blue stripes on the other 3 walls! |
 |
| We're making progress, right? |
But Ellie really busted her ass (I helped!!) and before long, we were finally here:
 |
| No monster can scare us away from finishing! |
 |
| Paper-free! |
Right now,
Ellie is we're finishing up fixing all the damage to the drywall that came from inexperienced wallpaper removers working on wallpaper applied to unprepped walls. Honestly, I think we'd be well done with this room (the walls at any rate, I want to consult with someone who has a clue when we decide to tackle fixing/replacing the trim) if the walls had actually been prepped before the first layer of paper was applied. But our inexperience lead to what was probably too much research on how to properly correct the damage which, added to the other setbacks, just delayed everything.
Over/under on getting at least one layer of paint up by the end of the weekend?
