Fun Monday - Favorite Room

Janis is hosting Fun Monday this week and she wants to know what our favorite room is!

Hmmm... Not even sure where to start here! Since we moved into this house nearly 3 years ago, it's seen a lot of changes. As we walked through, I kept telling myself to look at the space and not the cosmetics. I can always do something about the cosmetics. Since that day, I have done a lot of work - and it's hard to pick a favorite because I put myself into each room I've done.

Let's see.....

The first room I renovated was the downstairs half-bath. It used to have horrible grandma's couch wallpaper and a pink toilet. And a hideous mirror and light fixture. Lots of effort went into this room and I learned a few things along the way about wall paper and what to do and not to do when removing it or painting over it.

The dining room was our second project. When we bought this house, the carpet was in sad shape. The diningroom especially - I think that's where the dogs were penned up during the day because that area was especially... abused. It smelled awful. One day, we invited the inlaws over for dinner and spent the two days before that putting in the new floor and painting. That chandellier is still there, but someday a new one will go in! That light is functional though, so it's not high on the priority list as far as replacement goes. The necessary things are getting done first!

Then there's my son's room. This might be my favorite one. He made a request for a forest room and it took a lot of effort and thought on my part to pull it off. I don't think of myself as an artist, but I drew, then painted in every animal in the room, as well as the trees. It wasn't easy and some of the animals I had to paint were quite challenging, but overall, I'm quite pleased with how this room came out. More importantly, my SON is pleased with his room.

There are other rooms I've done... the computer room is quite comfy, as is the master bedroom. I've renovated the master bath (but can't find pictures) - and I like all those rooms too. I haven't finished the master bedroom though. I rearranged it recently, and it's better, but not quite there yet.



And I'm not done yet... The kitchen and the upstairs bathroom both need to be done. And the family room and living room are just rooms right now. They don't have the furniture they will wind up with and honestly, I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do with them yet. Family and livingrooms are at the bottom of my list though.
