Guest room pre floors and windows, as well as bathroom demo

Who ever said you should finish one job before starting the next job never met me :) today's post will show you the progress on our guest room as well as the first stages of our next house project.

Guest Room Before


Don't you just love the green and brown...I didn't hence why I didn't even wait a week after moving in before I started working on it. Firstly I filled all the holes with the pink to white Spackle stuff then sanded all the wood work before I set to work on the painting. This were slow because I have messed up my SI joint so it took about a month before I was able to get to this stage.


 We went for 2 walls blue and 2 wall toast...It took me about 6 trips to Lowes and Home depot before I finally found the blue tone I was happy with. Notice the nightstand that was given to us for nothing and with a bit of paint its turned out great (still have to put the finish coat on it)


This will eventually hold all my craft stuff, but before that its needs refinishing. It will be white, with blue on the inside where the glass is and I have some old rafters that I am going to cut down and use for feet to get it up for the ground. Also you can see the window need some work, we are currently having all of them through out the house replaced so will get to them later.

 This was one of my fav projects of the room, we have an old picket fence in our shed so I took some of the pickets and hammered the nails out, cleaned them up and used some corner supports to mount them to the wall. Each shelve cost me a total on $2 for the corner supports.

One of my summer camps closed down a few years ago so I made the mount and framed the bandana, ashes, camp dirt and a couple of photos. I love how it has turned out and now it will always remind me of the great summers I spent at Camp Kate Portwood.

Project 2

The bathroom went from this


To this


All because I hated the tile, and it had to go, little did I know that I was going to find 2 layers of drywall, laminate tile and a tonne of Mold. Hence now its become a full renovation but I don't mind because if I am going to spend money on it then I am going to do it right.

I still have a dry wall to remove but the tile is gone and I have sprayed bleach on the wood you can right now to kill of any more mold. That window is the whole reason we decided to redo all of our windows.

Keep looking back to see how its going.

Oh and we decided on refinishing the hardwood floors we all ready have :)
