All This for A Bed

What started out as getting new mattress set ended up being a total make-over of our upstairs. One thing led to another and 6 weeks later, the project is ALMOST done!!! (It's those boxes of packed up "stuff" that still need to be emptied.)
First we decided to paint the walls a muted yellow color. We wanted a summer-like feel to the room, especially on those rainy, dreary winter days. So out come the paint brushes and three days of prepping, priming, and painting. Love the color!
Okay, the walls are done and the carpet has to go! It's horrible! So we went carpet shopping. Once there we decided that we needed to do the entire upstairs; the guest bedroom carpet was just as ugly as our room-only blue-so more decisions to be made. Oh wait, then the hallway carpet needed to come out and that meant the stairs as well.......But it doesn't end there. Oh no....now we had to paint the hallway and stairs (that was fun!). So back to Lowe's we went to pick out paint colors. We kept the hallway walls a creamy white and it really has brightened up the upstairs. Finally the carpet arrives - three weeks after we orderd it - and the installers worked for 8 hours to get it all in! We LOVE the results. It's so much better; we just wonder why we didn't do this sooner!

So here's the new mattress set in and we are ready to put the room back together! All this for a bed.....one day we may learn that we don't just do a simple project....not us.....we have to make sure it is a major makeover! Can't wait to start the kitchen (not!)!
