The joke around our house is it's a good thing we're not trying to get paid for this project. Ha! With a cold, snowy winter around these parts, we've been hibernating....and quite pokey. 🤪 Probably doesn't help I started this project without any sort of vision board. I have a general idea but nothing fully laid out or even purchased, beyond paint. So that's my goal over the next month; must nail down the following: • flooring • trim style • ceiling fan • new door • decide about current sleigh bed • bedding • rug • closet system As you can see in the photos, all the holes and the terrible horizontal stripe wrapping the whole room have been patched over. Jon sanded the areas smooth and are ready for new texturing. The last photo you can see the pink stripe peaking through, but there's no longer a ridge for both sides of the stripe catching the light. As soon as a new regulator comes for the air compressor he'll be spraying new texture on all the walls.....and finally, ya'll, paint! Are you working on a current project yet for the New Year? Or is there one you're hoping to start soon? #slowprogress #diy #roomredo #texturedwalls #sparebedroom

Merry Christmas! We got about 3" this morning around sunrise. The town already came through and plowed. Can't beat the bluebird skies right now, beautiful! #whitechristmas #colorado #snow #bluebirdskies #nofilter

Haha well, the bedroom is unchanged from Thanksgiving weekend. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Slow burn over here and that's a-okay. It's been cold (prefer the couch and blankets!), Jon got sick for a bit, and I'm not allowed to touch a paint brush....so..... . We're hoping to get more done this weekend. About to leave for breakfast and get some grocery shopping in before the weather turns to crap later this weekend. Jon also needs coffee. He's like a baby bird downstairs right now, "Sara. Coffee. I need it. Let's goooo already!" . I also haven't decorated for Christmas yet. Holiday Sads have hit me hard this year. But if my mother can be up and cleaning her bathroom --like a friggin champ-- only 3 weeks after major surgery (and she's doing AMAZING after all that!), then I can pull on my big girl roos and put up the tree! . What are your plans this weekend? #slowroomredo #slowremodel #painting #weekendplans

It's gonna be one of these colors! Left is Antique Silver and right is Airplane. Both are Easycare brand paint by @truevalue and we're taking advantage of the Buy One Get One special this weekend that ends tomorrow. Which one do you think we picked? 🥈for Antique Silver and ✈ for Airplane. Check out my current stories for more info and in highlights under "Guest Bedroom" to follow the progress. #bedroomredo #spareroom #graypaint #truevalue #diy #sheetrock

We started on the new guest bedroom late yesterday. Currently, I use the room for my computer, crafts (look at that huge table!), and makeup every morning for work at my favorite little mirror by @ihome . Everything in here is going to change. I don't have a mood board, basically nothing completely planned. All I know is we're going with gray paint and white trim for sure. I know gray paint is popular, maybe even "on the way out", but we like how it looks and used it in our last home. We're doing what WE like. We're starting with the paint choice of EasyCare Preminum paint from @truevalue . The samples we've put up have amazing coverage, and I was a little surprised. All anyone ever hears about on social media is the big names like Behr, Sherwin Williams, and Benjamin Moore. For us to go with one of those brands would mean a trip to the closest store I don't want to make just for paint. Plus, we really like our closest True Value. We buy from them more than we ever do the big box home improvement places. The quality of lumber is better, the customer service is always fantastic, and we feel better knowing we're supporting a business closer to home. #guestbedroom #roomredo #truevalue #easycarepaint #before #diy
