Charlotte's room is emptied out, and is now a work in progress. I stripped the wallpaper border and got right to work! I had plenty of help!
Please note, that my camera has a shadow, so all my pictures have this blob in them! It takes on different characteristics every so often, but is always there :(
I picked 2 colors, and started in. The top part of the wall is called Cottage Linen. I love it. It didn't take long to realize, this would take at least 3 coats!
It was a long night getting the first 2 coats on. Yesterday morning, I started bright and early, and finished up the whole thing around 6 last evening. Once I was done, I decided the ceiling needed a coat of paint too, so I am doing that this morning.....I already have the major part of the ceiling done, and just have to do the edges with a brush. The bottom color is called Smoky Slate. It is a green-blue-grey color, depending on the light. I LOVE it's crisp clean look.
Next, that nasty carpet gets pulled out and a new remnant put in. Hopefully, that will happen on Sunday morning, and I can get my room put together by evening.
Charlotte is all moved in to her Teen Palace. These pics have a terrible glare from the lighting down there, but it can not be helped...you get the idea.
This is her "living area".
She has been begging for that picture above the bench forever! Now she is able to enjoy it! She has no television hooked up, but her DVD player is connected. All the kids have enjoyed watching movies down there over the last few days. I pray she keeps it nice.
Her "bedroom" is set up in the back of the room behind the couch.
On that wall to the left, outside the pic, is her vanity and the shelves that hold all her books. She is a HUGE lover of books! I think she will be happy with this set up!
That is all for now. I will be back next week when it's all done! Right now, I am going to juice my breakfast, and get back to work!
It will be good to take tomorrow off and just relax!!!
