My Summer Project

So back in January I applied to be a counselor at Brighton Girls Camp (Mormon girls camp for girls 11-12 years old). And I had an interview and I felt that it went really good but wouldn't hear back if I got the job until March so this whole time I was wondering if I would have the job or not and couldn't plan on well basically anything that people wanted to do for the summer. So one day I thought... what if I don't get the job what am I going to do this summer? So thats when I decided I would remodel the old pink room in the basement and make it my new bedroom :)

Well I didn't get the job... so now I'm going to have a new bedroom this summer!

Well to tell you a bit about this room and how much work it needs is that it's all pink... that even includes the pink shag carpet, well besides the stains on it. At one point in my life I remember sharing that room with Becky and Keri. Can you imagine 3 girls in one room? It also once upon a time had wall paper with pink flowers on it but a couple years ago it was easily pulled off leaving a rough glue on the walls under it.

So the hardest part about this is going to be just the wall preparation for this room sense i have to sandpaper most of the walls to get the rough texture off. Ok maybe not the hardest part... but it will definately take the longest!

Here are some before pictures... Oh and this room has been vacant sense Ben got married so it has been our play room/storage room so please don't mind all the junk in these next couple pictures!

oooh look at that wonderful pink carpet.... can't wait until we get new carpet for this room!

Well I actually started on this 2 weeks before we went to California (yes i promise that will be my next post) But then I had to pick up as many shifts as possible at work so it wouldn't hurt me to now work for a week... so now that I'm back I finally got back to remodeling some more! I finished sanding one of the smaller walls and well here comes the next great part...

Putty-ing! (Ok... not even sure if thats the word haha but you get what I mean.)

So this wall had 4 of those boards going vertical not horizontal and i didn't like that so well i just ripped them off and well i'm ripping off all of those board things. So I have to putty that. Plus random holes in walls from kids haha.

Here is the wall that is almost ready to paint!

Well it's a BIG project ahead of me thats for sure! But I'm excited :) It's a bigger room so it will be nice to have more space! I'm looking forward to a new bedroom this summer!
