This weekend just flew right by! We got ambitious and decided to rip up the remaining linoleum and carpeting upstairs. We have this weird little room that you enter just before you reach the master bedroom...we use it as a kind of walk-in closet, although I see my office someday being up there. It was painted this bright greenish color, and matched with the crazy linoleum floor we had some pretty bad feng shui going on. The wallpaper in the hallway is next to go.
So I emptied the room out (which took forever) and we got to work! The floor was ripped up, including the floor in the hallway. The little room is now primed twice and ready for color! It feels like an entirely different room. The little one had a blast in her little painting outfit helping us get the walls done. She actually did a lot of work! That top shelf in the closet? My vintage sheets. Crazy, eh?
The hallway floors turned out to be really rough. It's like subflooring and definitely needs to be covered. The carpet runner on the stairs is going too, but we need some sort of traction for a wee one and the dogs. I found these, but they are too expensive! Anyone know of something like this that is more affordable? Or how to make your own?
I'm going to look into cork, bamboo, and the wood laminate for the hallway floor. Any advice or suggestions? The little room I think we will sand and then paint. Then I will get some of these! I think I will eventually move my office up here, once we find a bigger dresser to hold the rest of our clothing.
It was a very productive weekend and it feels good to get some work on the house done. I love transforming it into our own little place. So much fun!!
What were you up to this weekend?!
