Over the Christmas break I took two weeks off as my job gets slow during that season and it allows me to enjoy the Holidays with my family. The first week of the vacation I told Anna I wanted to relax and have fun with the kids and the family and then the second week I would fully devote myself to a project of her choice. She chose to redo Molly's room which started out like this:
This actually was my room at one time and I remember being about 12 years old and going on vacation with some cousins for the week and coming home to a surprise new room which my parents had graciously done for me. You can't tell in the photo but the bottom half is navy with anchors all over it. So over the last week of my vacation I felt like I worked sun up to sun down in this room peeling wallpaper and steaming glue off the walls (which took 12 hours no joke). I took down the chair rail and removed the baseboards.
This was all so we could transform the room into this:
So an awesome transformation right! We obviously painted the entire room molding and all and I put up the Board and Batten around the bottom which took some time but was really easier then I thought. I have a way of talking myself out of things or put them off out of dread only to find out it isn't as hard as I thought. Anna sewed the curtains from scratch making the stripes herself they didn't come that way and I love the detail of the pom poms and they are blackout lined. We hope Molly likes it because I love it.
