KT's Room - The First Step

Yesterday, while Mom and I went to see Mamma Mia! at the Majestic (which was fantastic by the way), Jeff was busy ripping up the carpet and base boards in KT's room. We are planning for next weekend to be a work weekend to get the paint up, the wainscoting up and painted and installation of the flooring. That way I can move what furniture we DO have in there and we can have some room back in our garage (it's full!).

I think some of my impatience has started to rub off on Jeff (or maybe he's just excited) but he wanted to get the teal paint up on the wall's tonight, so that's what we....okay, mostly HIM... worked on. Yes family and concerned friends, I wore a mask so I didn't breathe in the toxic fumes and I took breaks when I needed too. Jeff did 90% of the work - love him!

Tomorrow he's planning on adding the top board for the wainscoting to get that ready. I'll try to document the installation of this. We actually got the idea from a google search in which I found a series of photos on a Flickr site that a couple had done for their daughter's nursery! It looked great. So I'll return the favor for some newbie parents in the future looking for ideas.

Here's a few pics from tonight's handiwork (the 2nd pic is probably the closest pic to the actual color):

this is how it started
