During the summer while the children were off school and we had some extra time. We decided to help my parents out and renovate their house. We wanted to do this so when they need to put their house up for sale they will be get a better offer. We would really like them to move out by us.
We will be showing some of the things we did and how we did them. Most of them are great projects for a do it yourselfer.
This is my parents bedroom before we removed the wall paper and painted. I actually put the wall paper up for her, probably 25 years ago. (I never thought I would be the one taking it down) Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the during, We used non-toxic Shaklee Basic H to remove the wall paper. I will be posting about how to do that soon. (I took pictures of another room.)
AFTER My parents decided to paint the furniture after the walls were done. We used Benjaman Moore, Shaker Beige. We also encouraged her to declutter.

ReplyDeletelooks amazing!!! the furniture really stands out now against the walls!
ReplyDeletesweet as pie!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE the white furniture. I've removed wallpaper before, but I scored the walls and used a wallpaper steamer I found at Home Depot. It was the best $50 I've ever spent.
ReplyDeleteI heard it works great to score the walls first. The next time I think we will try scoring and steaming.
ReplyDeleteLove the painted furniture! What color is it that you used? My daughter has the same set and I also want to paint it.
ReplyDeleteThe color is a creamy white I had color matched to the trim in my house. Sorry I don't know the color for you.
