If you haven't already heard, Raulon and I moved into my parents basement to save some money. Thanks Mom and Dad! The bedroom we moved into needed a lot of work from all the damage we kids had done to it through the years (a.k.a. numerous crazy paint jobs and thousands of nail and tack holes all over the walls.) Needless to say, we had lots of patching and three coats of priming to prep the walls for the paint we actually wanted.
I forgot to take a before picture!!! The walls were all this bright blue color and you can see just on one wall how many holes we had to patch up!
Yum! Just a little advice. When something boasts "ODERLESS" it actually means that the product smells worse and is ten times stronger than the normal product. We had to suffer through three coats of this nasty stuff for our ignorance!!!
It's a good thing we already knew we were going to get new carpet, because we made the old, nasty carpet even worse!
We finally got to paint it the colors we wanted. Of course we had to make things really difficult on ourselves and choose THREE colors!!!
Next we ripped out the old padding and carpet.... Yuck!
Thanks, Dad for being so awesome and knowing how to lay carpet so we didn't have to pay for installation!!
My Sweetie helping my Daddy out. Just so you know, at this point I'm laying on the carpet that's already been laid down because the carpet is so nice and soft and I'm so tired! No pictures because I looked THAT bad.
Surprisingly, after all these boring photos you had to scroll through, I didn't get a picture of the finished product because, not surprisingly we are not all the way unpacked...
I'll take some pictures as soon as we're done! Thanks everyone for all of your help and hard work! Especially to my sweet husband, Raulon and my parents for helping us save some money! :)
