Bedroom Makeover Part 1

So here's the deal.........the camera battery died and needs to be recharged before I can load the "After" pics onto my computer. So I am making a "Part 1" post that will only give the before and during.  Tomorrow though will have the after pictures.

Here is what our bedroom looked like before...................
I liked it.  I really did.  But I was tired of it.  It was this way for 5 years.  Probably the longest any room in our entire house has gone with out being changed.

I love white trim.  My whole house would have thick, wide, chunky white trim if it were up to me.
So I decided to paint it white (not the first room in our house to get trim painted)
The wall behind our bed got papered and painted w/ paintable wallpaper.  Probably one of my most favorite things about the "after".
Here is a taste of what it looked like while "in transformation"
I KNOW.........looks scary......like super duper messy
BUT wait til you see the after.................!!!!!

    I'm excited to see it!! I too want to paint the trim white, but keep thinking how big of a job it would be!! Did you paint the door white too or leave it?

    Bridegette-
    Painting the trim around windows is really not a huge deal. Painting the baseboard trim.........not so easy. If you have carpet it pretty much has to be removed and painted. I primer and then paint. If it has a lot of varnish you might even have to lightly sand :( If you are painting baseboard that is on wood flooring or laminate etc. you can just tape it off. I wouldn't say that it is "HARD" but definitely time consuming. I love the look in the end though!
