Calvin's Room

What we have done:
  • Ripped out the old carpet and replaced with new carpet. This was done before we bought the house. FYI, the room is about 90 square feet.
  • Ripped out some of the dry wall in the closet and replaced it. There was some old leakage that left behind some black mold. That was fun...
  • Painted the floor and the new wall in the closet with KILZ paint which helps protect against mold.
  • Painted the closet white.
  • Replaced all the carpet trim with white wood trim
  • Painted the walls
  • Replaced the carpet
  • Replaced the old window with a new high efficiency window.
  • Replaced the door knob.
  • Painted a bookshelf for the room.
  • Gave a fresh coat of paint to the dresser from my sister.
  • Hung art and shelves
  • Made curtains for the window
What we love:
  • Honestly, we kinda like the size. Sure it would be nice if it is a bit bigger, but it is a cozy little bedroom. Perfect for a baby or a toddler.
  • The nice window.
  • All the things we have done to it. It turned out really well.
What we want to change/fix
  • We have ordered black out blinds from my sister, Amy, who works at Hunter Douglas. Hopefully they will be here in the next couple of days and we can hang it. I am excited for this.
  • Someday, way down the line, replace the light fixture (not pictured). It isn't our style.
  • Someday this room will have ducts ran to it and we will no longer have to plug in a room heater or have a window AC unit.

I wish we had a before picture of this room so you could see all the changes. This is by far, the most completed room in the house. We made it a priority so that Calvin could have a nice nursery growing up.
