MAJOR Overhaul Part 2
Seems like when I start a project it keeps going. If you missed my blog from yesterday, here is my MAJOR Overhaul blog. MAJOR Overhaul Part 2 is finishing the flooring throughout the guest room and Lia’s playroom.
I had painted and redecorated the guest room last year so that made it a bit easier and quicker to finish. However I had a closet full of stuff that had to go! Since this is just a guest room I’m using the closet more of a storage room. I have three different bedding sets, depending on who will be visiting. So I’ve stored the extras in the closet. Mission accomplished!
Lia’s playroom had a few changes made. She had lots of toys and books that were from her younger years and and it was time to pass them on. She had a keyboard in the room but since she’s not here as often, it was just taking up space. I was able to sell that and my neighbor had a dressing table she asked if I wanted it. It was perfect for Lia since she is 8 going on 16 and loves nail polish and a tiny bit of kid makeup. Of course her doll house and the stuffed animals had to stay, so many have sentimental value.
However she still had some that didn’t fit on the cubes so I cleaned out the closest that was used for storage and made a few changes. The top shelf is now home to her extra animals and the closet is now an extension to her room. Her bookshelf holds her books and games and the plastic bins are for her craft items. When not in use I can close the closet and not see any plastic bins in the room! I’m trying to keep everything at a minimum.
Did you notice the pink Minky heart rug? When Lia was born I made her crib bedding and I made the rug to match. That’s gotta stay in her room!
I’m having so much fun on my flooring project and the last part will be coming tomorrow!
Such a pretty uniformed themed room..love the heart rug.
Thanks Shweta, can’t wait for Lia to see it on her next visit!
Very nice! You really did a good job overhauling these rooms, Martha. Yes, I noticed the pink heart rug… I liked it. I appreciate you sharing with us your home improvement project. Lia’s playroom looks cool. I watched the video.
Thanks Danwil, I think Lia will be surprised when she comes down next time!
What a beautiful space! I love how it turned out. I also love the colour of Lia’s room. It’s such a pretty colour.
You have a gift for decorating!
Thanks Barbara! Actually Lia play room used to be Zac’s room when he was younger. I kept the blue walls because Lia’s doll house has pink, purple and blue so it was a good match!
You did a fantastic job, Martha, I love how it turned out! Watching the video I half expected Snowball to come running!
Thanks Tamara, Snowball has to be where ever I am. LOL I’m looking forward to Lia’s next visit to get her reaction.
It looks amazing! That bedroom is beautiful. The playroom is cute, too. You’ve done an amazing job.
Thanks Jeanine, I’m excited for Lia to visit and see what she says! I am working hard to keep the clutter away!
Look like lot of work. I been slowly go though things. Recently I went though the boxes under the stair well.
If you have time stop in for a cup of coffee. Found your blog though UBC
Thanks for stopping by Dora! I am having such a busy time declutter and downsizing all the rooms after putting down new flooring. Not sure where you live but I’d love to have a virtual cup of tea with your coffee!
That room is so cute. I love the color of it.
Thanks Amanda, can’t wait for Lia to visit and see it!
