Staging bedroom #1 finished

I have completed one of the smaller bedrooms now ( except for some art work on the walls )

Here is the before

and believe me this room needed work..................

and here are the afters


I painted the walls and the baseboards ( which were all wood - not nice wood either - old
damaged faded horrible wood - the white baseboards bring the room into the new
millenium ) and I put a fresh coat of polyurethane on the floors - aren't the floors gorgeous?

A couple of details - traded out an old ceiling fan - for this pretty chandelier


and then found these fun curtains at Home Depot for 20.00 a panel - a steal - I think they
make the room



and that's all folks -

Furniture from yours truly ( all Kijiji finds and all for sale )
Light Fixture 45.00
Curtains 40.00
Paint ( lots of it ) 30.00
Primer 30.00
Dollar store this and that 10.00
Total cost to " stage room "
155.00




Room number 2 to be shown in a couple of days....................   I don't think I have a before
of that one - but I will try to remember to take a picture of the bedroom doors which will
tell you all you need to know

Staging well on its way

I have been working at my mothers all week - first before and almost after photos below - the chairs are
still a work in progress - I am painting them a glossy white - and the fabric is black and white.................
Also the end tables ( there are 2 of them - one beside each chair ) were a salvation army find - refurbished.
A piece of bevelled glass sits in the tops.

I painted the valance design by using painters tape - painted the whole valance gray - then made my design with painters tape - then painted the whole thing white - covering the painters tape - when everything was
dry I simply peeled of the tape and Voila!  

The faux fireplace was also a salvation army find - and usually sits in my dining room - since my Mothers
place is empty I am filling it up with all my finds - and things I am hoping to sell.

Happy wknd...........
