Mom's Room
(aka a "guest room")

While this will be where any guest we have will sleep, it is first and foremost my Mom's room. She picked out the color and theme. It also has had quite a bit done to it, though it still needs a lot of work. The wallpaper border came down immediately, then I painted the yellow (FOUR coats to cover the blue and puce) and the trim. And then I noticed that the yellow looked awful because the ceiling was really dingy - so I painted that white. Thankfully, I bough generic "ceiling paint" at Wal-Mart (though all the rest of my paint has been Behr or Gliddon for Home Depot and Lowes - there really is a difference in durability and scrubbability, but who washes a ceiling?) because I was painting it the night before her visit and RAN OUT. But good ol' Wally World is open 24/7 so we ran out to get more late Friday night... and there are some strange people shopping at Wal-Mart at midnight, let me tell you. Anyway, I put up shelving in the closet, and my Mom and I framed out the window and put up the window treatments, but I still need to re-finish her night stands, hang pictures on the wall, re-upholster the mini couch, buy a TV, get a TV stand, re-finish the small dresser, and - oh yeah - move all the boxes out. Then the fantastic "guest suite" will be complete!
