Surprise project

We realized we'll never have the bedroom as empty as it currently is so we decided to replace the floor. We should have thought about doing this before having everything prepped for paint.
Removed the old thick baseboards





 After screwing down the subfloor a new OSB base is laid and new boards take the place of the old. Decided this was better for house stability than adding a sliver of drywall.
Everything primed except the cubby that'll be finished off.


We went with a neutral brown/tan paint for the walls of the room, it's also for the one wall in the hallway. It's not quite the color expected, but it's growing on us and once the furniture is in place it'll be better.



Look a light fixture!
 The new flooring is a snap together laminate. The color is Rustic Barrel, so a bit darker and sets off the walls well.




 Trim boards! The trim is a hardwood, but to tie with the rest of the upstairs it'll be painted white.

COLOR!!!!

View from downstairs, this gives the best showing of the hall green




Office
My desk and a massive pile of computers! Kitties are enjoying the warm upstairs
When weather gets warmer I plan on spray painting the file cabinet
 
 Camouflage air vent:

 The wall with the vent pipe is going to be painted the same white as the trim and ceiling, but even better will be the massive chalkboard that will be painted on it!

 Hall

 The green doesn't really photograph well in the morning light, so I only have one good shot of it.


Bedroom/Hall accent wall (CRACKER BITZ)
Main hall color (SOFT FERN)

Main office color (SEASCAPE GREEN)
The chalkboard is going to be a dark gray called Moonstone.

INTERIOR WALLS!!!!

Super Exciting Day! We got interior walls upstairs! Happy Dance!!!
Main Bedroom Side


Showing the Hall Wall from the Main Bedroom with completed Bedroom Wall (Notice the paint cans?)

Hall Side looking into the bedroom



 Then there's the center wall! We rebuilt this wall completely which made it the straightest one in the entire house.
Hall Side


Office side wall. The PVC pipe is a vent pipe and will get painted.


Still can see into the bedroom from the Office
 So after a year, we got blinds on the window in the kitchen! The sun was glaring off the TV too much today so they finally went up. Once upstairs is done and we move the entertainment to the living room, maybe we'll finish the wall.

1 Year Anniversary

We've had the house a whole year now! YAY! A whole bunch of the upstairs is drywalled! Exterior walls are  complete with the exception of under the windows. The office has also received its first layer of mud! Once that gets done everything can move from the main bedroom over so that room can be completed. Need to make another sheetrock run to replenish the supply. ~_^
