Bedroom Makeover

Since moving into our house we have slowly but surely made our way through every room of the house and have replaced the flooring, painted the walls and made our house our home. Well, the master bedroom and bath were the only rooms that had not seen a total makeover (they had been painted, but floors were in terrible shape). So after all of the summer visitors had made their way home it was time to displace ourselves and take care of our room. Most of the materials were purchased at the end of last year when we bought the flooring, trim, and paint to redo the kid’s bedrooms, so it was just a matter of getting all of our stuff out of our room and beginning the process. We took all of our furniture and spread it around the house, filling the kid’s rooms with furniture and their closets with cloths. We put our bed on the floor in the living room for a few days then moved it upstairs. Once the room was clear it was time to get the carpet up and out, then prime and paint (much easer to type it all out than to do it). Once the painting was complete we realized that the paint was not sticking to the walls along the very top where the wall meets the ceiling (a problem we have had before but thought we had beaten into submission), so with this problem came a decision, #1- sand the wall, clean it, prime it again and repaint and hope this corrects the problem or #2 put up crown molding and know for sure that it was taken care of. The only problem, Cameron had never done crown molding before, but always willing to try something new we decided on option #2, and it was well worth the extra effort. Once we were done with the paint it was time for flooring, we put down oak style laminate flooring (the same as in the kid’s rooms), in doing this we are now carpet free on the first floor of our house, what a joy to not have to worry about spills and stains.
