House Renovations: Operation Guest Room

Well ladies, this past 3 days has been pretty exhausting, and fulfilling at the same time. After over 1 1/2 years of having unfinished walls, I finally got the gumption to do something about them...Here is what ensued: 
SPECIAL THANKS TO JULIA FOR ALL OF HER SUPPORT!

Jay and I prepared for battle, also known as sanding sheet rock joint compound


 Eye protection might have been a prudent decision

The contents of the room taking over the living and dining rooms.  ARGHHHHH


Now, after 3 days of various states of disarray here is the finished project, and I LOVE IT!







Thanks for looking, over the next few weeks, we are going to tackle our guest bathroom...WISH US LUCK!

  4. So first of all that must feel great. Second my husband would adore that color as you can tell by the inside of my house he likes bold colors. It looks great and once again you have inspired me.
