Before and afters.....

Here it is, the upstairs room, I have mentioned it a zillion times, and now, the big reveal....Here is the before....ratty carpet, just kind of blah. This actually shows it after we cleared out all the stuff that was stored up here. There was only a little pathway to my sewing room.








We took out the nasty carpet and the old fifties tiles beneath the carpet. Underneath there were really nice planks but there were a lot of gaps. We cleaned them up and then pulled them up and moved them close together. Went to Lowes and bought a few more planks to fill in...




then I put primer on them and painted the planks and the stairs in the jungle green color. The orange paint was free...leftovers from my sister. Bf ran electricity and put in three outlets. I painted the door mural and made all the pillows and the curtains. We got the bedspreads on clearance for 20.00 a piece and the beds are heavy duty army cots...This room with everything, was under a 100.00 total and the cheap in me just loves it!!! The mural was inspired by an art quilt in a Quilting Arts magazine. The quilt was made by Tom Russell...I saw it and thought it would be perfect on the door...The kids toy bins fit under the beds and I am going to have them make pictures to frame for the walls....So what do you think?
