MMMMM The smell of new carpet!

Here is where the painting began! Well I guess living the productive life means neglecting the blog! Sorry to the 3 maybe 4 readers of my blog. Well the house is taking a long time. I knew the kitchen would so I decided to work on Jammy's room in the mean time. I wanted it to be my little project, something I did myself since Arry works on the kitchen while I watch Jammy. She can't be around while Arry sands because it's not good for children. So in the room, I starting with painting the ceiling, shelves, built in desk and the trim work. It needed to be done especially because the trim was already two different colors and there were spider webs all over. I decided to keep the wall paper even though it is torn up in some places. It's so cute especially for a little girl's room. So the painting had been done for a while when Arry and I finally looked for carpet. We ordered online so I made sure that I finished everything else before it came. So I updated all of the outlets and covers, changed out the lighting fixture and also updated all of the hardware on the closets and desk. It was nice to do it by myself. And updating the light was really a piece of cake. I got practice on the outlets and I only got shocked once! hahaha. Well I'll just show you the transition from before to after!
