Another Bedroom Ticked Off

 

I went from the hardest of the three bedroom to the easiest of the three bedrooms, not because I was trying to be efficient or create motivation but because it was the one vacated by my eldest daughter after her move downstairs. It just needed a paint job. The carpet, original to our occupation of this house, isn't the best but is in decent shape and will hopefully last another handful of years until the younger daughter is off on her own. 

I took the matching custom book shelf off the wall to paint the wall behind and decided to give it a fresh coat of white paint while it was easy to do. Otherwise, the only real big project was to move the recently built canopy bed into this room. Due to the extra window, it required a little bit of shimming to get it to fit and still overlaps each window by a tad but I know this is just a phase and so I made it work.

I didn't take a before picture since it is mostly just a change in color but I made sure to take an after photo before the youngest moved in. She is currently in that process and judging from the amount of stuff in her old room, it might take the rest of the week and weekend. But I'm okay with the break.

Next up will be the last bedroom, for now, which will be the middle as far as degree of difficulty. The carpet has been destroyed by too much glitter, drips from slime making projects and other things. It really has seen its last days. So we plan to have it replaced but I will hire that part out. Carpet stretching and making it fit around objects like closet doorways is not my thing. But I hope to get it painted while we wait for that to happen.
