So far, we've stripped this wallpaper border off in the master bedroom:
We also primed and put on the first coat of paint. It's a sage-y green. The trim will be white. So most of the painting in this room is still left to do.
We've also done a lot of work in the baby's room. We've primed, put on two coats of a light lavender paint, and done one coat on the trim. S also ripped out all the carpet and nailboards, pulled out the staples, and moved 6 (HEAVY) boxes of laminate into the room to acclimate so we can start laying the floor on Tuesday. We've run into an issue where the floor is NOT level, but I'm fairly certain it's because the subfloor was nailed down, and we can fix the problem by adding screws in between the nails (which should also fix the squeakiness). And there were two seperate trips to Home Depot this morning, resulting in one very tired and cranky baby.
Tonight, when the baby goes to bed, I'll go put a second coat of paint on the trim in the baby's room and touch up a few places. I'll also try and get at least part of the second coat of paint on the master bedroom before I keel over from exhaustion. I'll also try and take some photos and upload them if I can manage to hold the camera steady!
Edit: Here's the master with two coats of paint and the carpet ripped out:Again, the floor isn't level, and on this one we'll have to use floor leveller since the drop is pretty dramatic against the wall you can see on the righthand side of the photo. The rest of it seems OK, so it shouldn't be too big a problem.
