Second Bedroom

Our second project was completing our second bedroom.  In the past the second bedroom has been used as a storage room and has never really had a purpose.  Our house is pretty small so we used it for anything we didn't know where else to put so basically it was a MESS!!!!

 

I don't have a before picture but this is how it felt to me.....

 

 

 

We knew we wanted it to be a bedroom so we could have visitors so we started with a fresh coat of paint.  For basically the whole house we are going with biscuit (plain, bland, generic and hides imperfections in 1952 plastered walls like a pro!!!).  One thing to admit is prior to all these home renovations I have done 0 home repairs in my life so this was the first room I have ever painted!  Since this time I have become a pro!!! 

 

Another point to admit is I can't decorate to save my life.  I do enjoy Pinterest and pretending I know how to decorate but honestly everything I see I like in a store is adolescent girl chic so Cindy, Brent's mom came to the rescue and made this room look HGTV!

 

She found this one picture on sale at Hobby Lobby and planned the whole room around it.

 

 

The picture doesn't do it justice but it is sort of a yellow color with gray as well.

 

From there she basically found things and put this room together which is perfect and excited for anyone to come visit!

 

Finished Product

 

 

 

We still want to add something to the corners by the head of the bed but haven't found exactly what we want yet. 

 

Lynn and Kelly came to visit the weekend after we finished this project and it was great to have a place for visitors to sleep.  Previously they were sleeping on the couch so bet a new, warm, cozy bed was better!!!

 

Next project:  Living Room!!!!

 



Trying out this blogging thing......

One of my secrets joys of life has always been reading blogs and I thought it would be fun to document all of the changes we are making to the house in a blog!

 

Brent has owned his home since 2004 and in 2012 it became our home (well it became our home last week when our lazy butts finally put me on the deed).  As many of you know Brent has not done many "home improvements" over the years so we are taking on basically redoing, redecorating, or remodeling every room in the whole house!

All of this remodeling business started when we did the bathroom.  Most of y'all know but when Brent rented out the house when he lived in Maryville a dog was kept in the bathroom and basically ate the walls, base boards and door.  It was huge to get this done and once we felt accomplished we have been Lowe's weekend warriors ever since!!!!

Bathroom before - well mid rip out by the contractors - didn't get a before shot probably because I never want to remember how bad it was!!

Bathroom in the middle of being ripped out completely

Here are the after shots of the bathroom

It was awesome to get this done....even though with only having one bathroom having it out of commission while the contractors worked was NOT fun at all!!!! 

For this project we basically hired contractors to do the whole project.  They completed ripped out the whole bathroom and basically did everything from scratch!!  This project ended with new light fixtures, storage baskets, wall decorations, mirror and vanity!!

Now onto the second bedroom!!!
