Old room, new room

My friends, Susan and Blake, cam to visit this weekend to help paint Lu's room. It was so great to see them and so great of them to help with this monster of a project!

Lu's room had awful 70s wood panelling. For the past two years I would just shake my head in disgust every time I entered his room.

This is what it looked like when we moved in.



Here's what Lu's been living with for 2 years.



Here we are working on it.

Taking off the last horrible piece of paneling!


Filling the millions of nail holes and priming the marker lines. Yes, they outlined the panels with black marker so the white wall wouldn't show through.


Tada!

It now looks a million times better.


I still need to pain the trim, ceiling, and put up new baseboard. I didn't realize that the baseboard on there was plastic until I started ripping it off.
I'll eventually put in white electrical sockets and plates.
