Gal's Room Renovation

 A couple of weeks before April vacation I had been tossing around renovating the gals room. In my "head" it wasn't going to take long at ALL ;) I just needed to convince Husband.....he came over to the dark side and agreed to freshen it up. It has been almost 20 years since ANYTHING had been done to this room. Original paint, ceiling paint and carpet since we moved in.... thankfully it was neutral so it worked for a long time but it was definitely time to let the gals have some say to their space.... 

 

BEFORE: 

I had some major pieces that I knew were not going to change so we had to work with the darker wood ceiling fan....

and the blue pieces of furniture that I refinished back HERE

My gals are pack-rats....I know.... 

So on Saturday we hauled everything out of their room and set them up for a cozy sleepover in the den for a few days... talk about a fire hazard....

and Husband got to work ripping up carpet and padding and making trips to the dump while it was still open....

Miss B and I started tackling all the staples that were buried in the floor... one at a time... it probably took us about an hour to get them all up... 

 

and clearly she was thrilled about it....

On Sunday morning Husband brought the coffee nice and early and I started in on the ceiling... I got ALMOST all of it done and my shoulders just could not take anymore so my knight in shining bball shorts came in to finish it up strong....

When we got home from church I ran to get the paint in the color the gals had picked out. "Tame Teal". (Here's hopin' ;) On Saturday night my friend Jess had texted me and said "let me know if you need any help".... I immediately texted back and said "I need help. BYO paint brush" Lucky for me, her Dad is the one that did our living room and she is WELL versed in painting.... she ROCKED the edges and the ceiling and we were DONE... two coats and everything picked up in a little over 2 hours.... AWESOME!

On Monday Minnie and started sanding and priming the beds before we went to do a 5K with our friends... I was REALLY hoping to get them all primed before we left but we were just a LITTLE short on time....

Meanwhile.... while we were outside Husband was tackling the MOST AMAZING FLOOR! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! We are going to I'm trying to convince him to put the same thing in our bedroom once we are on summer break... I think it looks so amazing! He did SUCH a great job! And SUPER quick!

On Tuesday afternoon I jumped back into the beds.... All I had was white ceiling paint so I'm not a HUGE fan of how they feel and I might do a top coat this summer of something with some sheen but for now they are clean and white and MATCHING!

Ready to go on the finished floors....

On Wednesday morning Miss B and I went to Target with CountryMum and picked out these rugs and comforters.... in the afternoon we piled into my car with MIL and CountryMum and headed to Hobby Lobby for signs. This was a two pack...the gals both loved them and I love the character traits....

I'm so so so HAPPY with how it turned out and LOVE it when a project is COMPLETE!!!! So thankful for Husband and good friends coming alongside to get it done!
