Remodeling the second bedroom

Remodeling has really started after the floor setback.
I decided to paint the wall and worry about the floor later, when some sort of professional has a good look at it. Said professional still has to be found, as everyone we askedeither were not interested or never showed up when they said they would. Always the same problem here.

Anyway...
I forgot to take some "before" pictures. So in short there was one pastel pink wall, flower print curtains and some hideous paper butterflies (which I thought were so cool when I got them).
Also the board trimmings had never been finished for some reason, so I did that and patched the thousands holes all over the room.
The white walls are still white (sightly off white this time), the pink wall is now blue/grey. Very stylish if I do say so myself.
I still have to look for curtains and check if the photo prints I like from Ikea match the colors here.
I already got a ceiling brass light fixture and need a new shade for the bedside lamp.

Frank the forecat is supervising the work so everything should be fine.

March updates

Keeping up with my New Year resolutions!
I still haven't repeated an outfit 2 days in a row (even when I'm painting LOL), have meditated every day and only missed a couple of blogging days (once because the weather was too nice to stay inside, the other because I had the flu).
I am still in the middle of the remodeling mess.
My business cards are still not done...lack of sales makes for zero motivation. Lack of motivation = zero promotion work. No promotion means even less sales. Vicious circle. I am just tired of working for no money...which is kind of the story of my life.
At least it's March now.

Remodeling and chaos

 The remodeling of the second bedroom has started.
Things are not going according to plans. I was just planning on painting and changing curtains and lights. Then I moved the bed...and it looked funny, so I lifted the (pretty new) vynil flooring...and ARRRGHHHH damp stains...Not sure where the water damage comes from. Either it's from the small flooding we had a couple years back, or it's coming from the chimney that's right behind that wall. In any case now it's dry but I still have to figure out how to prevent it from happening again...and change the floor.
Which leaves me feeling like this:

 
Because now I have to remove all the furniture from the room...and buy new vinyl flooring...which is not very hard to fit ...but is reeeeeeeeeeally heavy to carry around. There are stuff all over the house, and the mess makes me very anxious. And also goodbye money :'(

My little springroll

Today is also Pepita's birthday. I don't really know when she was born, but since she arived in February 2012, I chose her a birthday. She was my beloved little girl and I miss her so much.

The remodeled bedroom

All done! Under 2 weeks.
November light (or lack of) is not ideal for photography though but I wanted to take photo before I start re-cluttering ;)

March- Let's get organized

As much as I dislike  February, I love March. Days are longer, we switch to  summer daylight time, plants come back to life. In March I also usually start working  around the house, painting, remodeling, re-organizing.
This year I finally  installed much needed shelves over my desk.

 Now, it may still look cluttered but imagine that everything that is now up was stuffed somewhere below on this picture...so to me it's light and airy now.

 No, I don't have any "before" pictures, I  don't take clutter photos ;) But here's an idea of how I felt at my desk ...
