Scraproom--oh the horror



This is what I started with..empty room. It has a south facing window. It was orginally Pink with Green trim..not my doing, previous owners did that.

So this is what happened next..

There were a couple spots on the wall that had some peeling paint. And in preparation for priming I knew that you were suppose to scrape around these places until the old paint stopped flaking off..

On to the next photo...


I believe this was taken at hour two..not sure..I just know it took all day to scrape all the walls..latex paint over oil paint with no primer in between..not a good idea..

So the room is only primed at this point. It will get painted this weekend..

Oh and here is what you find under the first layer of paint.


I believe it is Mr. Peanut, not sure..but I'm thinking soo..

    I want some of your enthusiasm, K. I am excited for you. Wish I had a room to make over. My little room isn't much more than a large closet and it holds lots of stuff unrelated to scrapping. And too much scrapping stuff from the past that I will never use! I have to purge. Keep the photos coming, eh? Love them.

    Mr. Peanut, that's where he's been! Nothing like paint to give a room a dramatic look. Excited to see more!
