So here is how this all started....
In my spare time on pinterest over this holiday break....
I decided I wanted to paint the walls of the craft room....
and it turned into something bigger than just painting.
Chris decided we needed to strip the walls. I am not arguing with that though.
Once we got going on the walls, we discovered there were several layers of paint and wallpaper and border. There was....pink, brown, hunter green, mint green, flowers, sports gear, and khaki color on top. Let's just day that room was bigger when we finished.
Here are a few pics of the before, during, and after of stripping the walls.
Before...boring craft room
Beginning to strip the walls
Walls finally finished...no more 1970's wallpaper or paint
Then after stripping the walls we decided that we should just go ahead and scrape the ugly popcorn ceiling. This was very messy, but well worth it, and very easy.
Bye Bye Popcorn ceiling. We can't have you in our house anymore.
Scraping the ceiling
All finished!
And so this is where we are now. Bare walls, Bare ceiling. Makes me happy. It is like a blank canvas just waiting to be painted. But first, we have to do some more prep work to the walls. And Chris has decided to add some more lighting to the room.
This hard work will pay off soon :)
Happy Remodeling,
Chris & Jane
