This project has taken the better part of the last three weeks, but I think it's been worth it. It started out with a simple paint job. I figured I'd just throw some paint on the walls and paint the ugly wood trim white and be done with it.
As with any home improvement project, what started as a simple paint job ended as a complete overhaul of the whole room. Here's what the room started out looking like:
First and foremost, the trim needed painted. I just dislike the yellow-ish looking trim that is all through my house. It looks so 1970. And I'm eager to bring my house into the year 2013. :) So...
Step 1. Paint yellow-ish trim bright white.
Step 2: Paint accent wall dark grey.
Step 3: Paint remaining 3 walls light grey.
Step 4: Scrape old paint off of closet walls and give it a fresh coat of paint.
Step 5: Hang new curtains and admire the new look!
Step 6: Call Dad to install new, updated doors! (Still waiting on the installation and painting of these...)
Step 7: Make fun, colorful decorations for the walls to brighten up the room, make it cheerful, and to inspire me to actually do my nursing research homework!
Step 8: Make a cup of coffee, sit back, relax and enjoy the sense of satisfaction that comes from a job well done. :)
Oooohhh! I really like it! Very cute.
