Labor Day Weekend = Painting

Here are the before pictures of the two rooms (living room and dining room) that Mr. Thinkin' and I are painting this weekend. We recently had the white carpet removed and the floors refinished. They turned out much better than I thought they would and while the furniture is out of the rooms, we decided we should strip the pink wall paper and paint the rooms. And yes, you read that right, we had pink wall paper and white carpets! YIKES! But, how about those wood floors now?
So, the wall with the mirrors on it, turns out to be wood paneling circa 1940. I consulted our handy man (love him) and he removed the mirrors and then suggested the easiest thing to do, would be to just speckle the grooves and seal in with the stinkiest sealer ever and then call it good. It looks ok, and I will post pics soon, but it took WAY longer than I had accounted for.

Plus One was shipped away to stay with his grand parents so we could knock this project out without worrying about him.

Next project: Get quote to have wall paper removal and painting professionally done!
