It's almost done

So a few posts ago I wrote about how my Dad came into town and removed the last of the wallpaper left in my condo from the guest room. This weekend I painted the room and I am so happy it is almost done. The only thing left I need to take care of is the moulding which had been painted gray. Yes gray. It only has primer and ceiling paint on it right now (I do not have the steadiest hand for painting). So I do eventually want to add some paneling and picture moulding, but we'll have to wait for the budget to catch up for that one. At least now the room doesn't have 2 walls with half peeled wallpaper and 2 walls in bad need of another coat of paint. My mom won't know what to think when she comes to visit in a few weeks!


What the room looked like when I bought the place. Love the light and the doors to the balcony, do not love the wallpaper that had been there since they built these in 1972.

After wallpaper removal from my kitchen, entryway, and living room I was burned out by the time it came to the guest room. So a half done job was there for months. Ooops.

Then my Dad came and peeled the rest of the wallpaper away!! Aren't dad's the best?


Then I finally painted the walls and the room is finally looking like a nice room instead of a remodeling project gone wrong.
So the paneling and moulding in this room are kind of hard to see, but it is exactly what I want to do in my guest room. So hopefully I can make that happen, sooner rather than later!
