We have our bedroom back! The floor is refinished, the walls are repaired and painted, the ceiling is painted, the outlets have been replaced to code, windows painted, stained trim and base added, curtains re-hung.
New nightstands and a new bed-frame to follow, along with new door hardware and a new bedroom door. The original door was too damaged to paint and save, so it was just easier to pull the whole thing out and get it out of the way for the floor guys.
The room is calm and clean, and after about a month of sleeping in our basement and at our neighbors' house-- the bed feels huge! I think we both slept funny last night-- it was almost like we were sleeping in unfamiliar surroundings.
Here is what the room looked liked when we bought the house:
We had primed over the red walls pretty soon after moving in, but that's how it stayed for at least 2 years afterwards.
I just LOVE how the floors turned out. The color is so rich and all the detail in the wood grain shows so vibrantly.
Oh, and did I mention that our trim was FREE? K found a bunch of it at the side of the road somewhere, pulled out of a 1950s home. K said it was a pain in the butt to sand and re-stain, but once they were installed, we are both really happy with the results.
