Bedroom Makeover
Posted on August 24, 2008 by Jamie Larsen, under The Larsens.
When I asked my wife what she wanted to do for our 10 year anniversary, she said that she wanted to a new bedroom. So I took the week off of work and gave her a new bedroom.
The bedroom that we inherited from the previous owners was a bit outdated. The paint was old and the carpet was pink and a little run down. I started clearing out the bedroom on Saturday. This consisted of moving most of the furniture and clothes out of the room.
On Monday, we painted the trim, the doors (closets and main) and the cieling a bright white. On Tuesday, we painted the walls a nice sage green. Wednesday and Thursday tore out the old carpet and baseboards and replaced it with wood floors and white trim baseboards. This part was probably the hardest for me. I walked up and down the stairs everytime I had to make a cut. My legs were worn out by the end of it.
Friday, we started putting things back together. I think it turned out really nice in the end and am happy that we could do it together. Here are a couple of before and after shots:
We got alot of the work completed, but still have a couple odds and ends to cleanup.

We are about 4 hours from Chicago. If you come out, we would love to see you.
