(I did warn him it might be costly! After all, who wants to put old furniture, pictures, etc. into a new room?) Anyway, after I started tearing apart the first room I had second thoughts. What am I doing? Now I AM committed! The hardest part was actually ripping out our green and red carpets. Those two rooms have been known as the "red" room and the "green" room for so many years. How will we ever distinguish them now if both have the same carpets? And then there's the ceilings. Have any of you ever removed stippling off ceilings??? Dumb decision.
Let me tell you, working on the chain gang would be easier! I have scraped my fingers to the bone and if you see me walking around with my nose in the air, it's not because I'm stuck up or anything, it's just that I have a permanet kink in my neck from looking up.
Oh well, I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end. Such is life.....

FINALLY, you're back! I check your blog everyday and FINALLY you posted. I love your stuff and will miss the "red/green" room but I know with your talents your new rooms will be gorgeous. Love ya!
No kidding! Sheesh, you're not allowed to take a MONTH off in blogland. I'm so sad about red and green leaving! I have a lot of good memories listening to alvin & the chipmunks and playing barbies in the red room. SIGH!
But i agree, it will be beautiful when you're done.
Glad you're back!
Way to go mom, you inspire me. I just keep looking at my walls...you actually get off your but and start. I hope I have your ambition when Im your age. since your neck is permanently kinked, do you want to come tackel my ceiling?
Chris & Brand - sorry I destroyed your good childhood memories but it just HAD to be done
Shell - don't feel bad. I've been retired for almost 3 years so that's how long I looked at my walls before I got off my butt!! But as I told you - when I'm done my house I will help you paint yours.
