Project Redo: Day 175

Started our project of re-doing Taylor's room...it is a 16th birthday present for her. It seems as if we just re-did it to a pink/green color scheme, but that was a couple of years ago, and that was just paint on the walls, paint on her iron bed, and a couple of new comforters. This time we are getting rid of everything (since it is all falling apart and is all hand me downs) except the bed! We are headed to IKEA in a few weeks (saving up for that) to get a dresser and desk and a few accessories. Yesterday we all worked very hard preparing her walls for painting. She decided on a yellow/black/red color scheme after picking out a new comforter. So Jim and Taylor sanded the green/pink walls, dusted, and taped. I came in when it was time to paint (cause that's my favorite part :) and helped roll on a very vibrant yellow called June Day from Behr paints. I think it looks really cool on her walls. Here are her walls before, during the prep, and after. No painting pictures as I was covered in paint the whole time..lol.
Here is a picture of her room before...2 walls green, 2 walls pink.

Dad sanding walls during prep...

Taylor and Dad taping all the windows, baseboards, doors, ceiling...I hate this part, so I took pictures instead :)

And TA-DA! Here is the finished project...3 new coats of paint...and a beautiful sunny yellow room. And you see a glimpse of the new black/white/yellow comforter that was our inspiration piece....More updates on Project Redo in coming weeks.
