Bedroom Pics

Without further ado.... here are pics from our holiday bedroom overhaul!

First....this is what the room looked like when Mr and Mrs Dirty lived here back in July. WHITE, ugly border, ugly curtains, and ugly furniture. NOT comfortable at all!!! (Or clean!!)








We moved in and painted it a deep green-ish brown, and got rid of that nasty border!! (I have more pics but I would have to locate them on our external hard drive and I am feeling lazy!)








It was finally time to rip up the seriously gross and nasty brown carpet....














And it was just our luck that the floors underneath had loads of chocolate brown paint on them. One section was pretty messed up and instead of properly fixing it they had laid concrete on top of it to "smooth" the floor.














So we spent several pain staking weeks scraping the paint off by hand.














Finally, we were done scraping, sanding, and could start staining.













And finally......the floors were done!














We repainted the ceiling, the baseboards and window trims, and changed out the light fixture and were finally able to move back in!!



















YAY!!! We've started shopping for all new bedroom furniture, curtains, a rug, and artwork so now is the fun part! We're also going to re-do the fireplace tile with something more original looking (gorgeous 2x3 glass tiles would have been on the fireplace back in the day). All of our bedroom furniture is hand-me-downs, so it's time to treat ourselves to something nice that we can hand down one day. I've already picked out some seriously hot new bed linens, and now I just need a new bed to buy them for!

For a larger collection of the remodel process feel free to browse my set on Flickr, it's like a do it yourself tutorial!!!
