Sahara's new room ~ UpDaTeD ~ floor pic at the bottom


After 9+ years of purple walls, Sahara decided she wanted a redo. It's her b-day gift (early) to repaint the walls and get some sort of floor in. She has had cement floors since we tore up the carpet about 3 years ago.


Step 1: We moved all the furniture to the center or out of the room. We took everything off the walls.




Step 2: We went to Walmart and bought $75 worth of paint and supplies.
Step 3: Spackle



Step 4: 1st coat of paint.





Two walls blue, two walls white.




That's it for today. Paint is taking a good while to dry. Tomorrow is hopefully second coat of paint and trim. Then floors.



*Update*



I forgot to add yesterday that she had wanted bubbles painted on the walls. Whatever, it's her room and she has to live with it. They are cute tho.






So, second coat is done and so is most of the trim. Floors are tomorrow. We went to Lowe's and she picked a beige colored stone look tile. The trouble is we have to tile around furniture. Hope it all goes well. Worse than the furniture being in the way, the cement is very rough. I bought cement leveler, but I only got one and I guess I could have used 3. This is beginning to be a pretty expensive project. I think we are up to $250 now. Not that I have the money to be spending on this. It definitely is her b-day gift now.

The floor is in! YAY !!!
