Fit For A Couple Of Princesses

Well the girls shared bedroom is finally starting to come together! It's about 3 months in the making! Since November anyways! Whew!

Okay, this is when we came to see the house.

Facebook post: This room looks okay, but if you look closer there are so many stains in the carpet that weren't visible during our walk thru. AND the smell of this room was horrific! Just like a cat liter box! PIPER IS ALLERGIC TO CATS! She's been sick since we moved in! We had to go buy her a special HEPA filter air cleaner thingy!

The HEPA filter has worked for Piper. She was sick with allergies for about the 1st month and a half that we were here.

Did I mention that when we bought the house, we also bought a carpet cleaner vacuum thingy. Well when we walked in the house, we QUICKLY realized that thing would not have done a bit of good! So we ripped out the carpet to help rid the house oft he smell of cat pee!

By the way...that didn't work. So John started ripping out walls.

And ceilings....the cat pee has to be gone soon!

Okay, time for the new ceiling to go up!

And the insulation is installed!

Sheet rock going up!

John working on the electrical stuff. He rewired and replaced all outlets and switches.

Carl lending a helping hand on the taping and bedding. What a time consuming pain in the butt!

A couple of weeks later we finally got to texturing!

And I thought painting ceilings was horrible....could only imagine what this was like. John said that bucket of wet texture that he's holding over his head was so heavy!

Our new textured wall! YAY!!!! Time for paint!

New Textured Room! Now I have to paint the concrete! Cat pee smell....be gone!

Did I mention that I strongly dislike painting ceilings! What a pain!

John putting up the girls new fan. The room is pink because the girls wanted that fan. I wanted a purple room...but pink is fine. I'm more than use to the color by now.

One more look at that cute fan!

The girls room so far!

We still have a lot to do in there, but until John gets back from Philly, this will more than work for them. They were super happy to have a room! A pretty one! Piper said, last night, that she was going to laugh in her new room and sleep and twirl all over it!

Things we still need in here:

~ carpet

~ crown molding

~ trim

~ chair railing

~ blinds cleaned and some sorta curtain

~ closet doors needed another coat of paint

~ Piper wants a big girl bed like her sister

~ Closet needs a rod

~ and some decorating!
