Some more DIY (but that is the end of it)

I promise that this is it, no more decoration (this week) :). I started painting the guest room 3 days ago and thought it will take only a day to finish it all. However, as i worked i realized that more and more was needed. I finished it today and put the curtains up and put all the furniture back in place etc and I am very happy with the results. I have one of my friends visiting for the weekend and it was a good motivation to get the room ready for her, so it all worked out well. Here are some photos before and after. My promise is "no more decoration for now", I must start to focus on training for the charity run so brace yourselves!

BEFORE

AFTER

The final result

Just few words to say that I am pleased with the results. So glad with the transformation of the room and more important my daughter is over the moon with it. We spent a long time decorating some photo frames to hang up. I must say that although this week has been tiring and exhausting but I kind of enjoyed this project and as we put everything back in its place, I feel that the hard work was worth it when I saw the smile on my daughter's face. As she went to sleep back in her bed she said: "thank you mama for all your hard work" that was the best thing for me. Thank God for all his blessings on us.

Day 2 *restricted zone...do not enter*

That is how it feels as the process of redecoration continue, "a restricted zone". I must say that I am happy with the progress. And as the process of removing old wallpaper ends, the idea of starting to paint tomorrow is exciting but frightening as well. Last time i painted, my cat was running about with a magnolia tail for few days after i finished painting my kitchen, so you can imagine the how it was back then! however, i am very optimistic this time and trying to do things by the book, i.e. remove old wallpaper, fill the holes, sand the walls, paint first coat, paint second coat then collapse. will keep you updated.

DIY....bring it on!

After a lot of discussion, my daughter convinced me on redecorating her bedroom. I really wanted to do it for a long time, what put me off for so long not the actual decoration but the clear up before and after! (thank God for the guest bedroom that has all the toys now). But as we started taking down the wall paper I thought, I must put this on my blog so I can compare the before and after and share the whole journey with you. So here are some photos. I am hoping that each day you can see the progress of this project. Let us just say that I do not think I will be moving to property development just yet :)
