Setting this room up for the baby, and as the due date comes closer and closer, I must get my @$$ into gear. So below are some pictures along the way.

Done:

  • New Flooring
  • Painted Everything (Ceiling, Walls, Closet, Window)
  • Furniture
  • New Tamper proof Outlet with Wall Plates

Left to Do:

  • Baseboard
  • New door
  • Paint & Attach Closet Doors
  • Registers

All in all, this room along with the rest of the house was painted and trimmed like shit. The previous owners, caulked baseboard, painted wallplates and outlets, drilled numerous amount of holes in the walls, and ceiling. Stapled, yes STAPLED Christmas lights along the top of the wall around the bedroom. The list just goes on… so here is just the one room so far… the baby’s room.

Here is the before picture… the exact picture used to sell the house…

Looks great. Very nice.

3

Nice work, now add some moulding. Also, what is wrong with caulking moulding? Caulk is one essential tool when I install any moulding as it creates clean lines and hides all nails and seams perfectly.

4

looks good.

why didn’t you refinish the original hardwood floors?

5

i caulk all moldings too, however it should not be used as a cover up for shitty miters lol

Looks so much better. i think just painting would have made it look so much better :puke:

6

Holes all over the place… Pieces where cracking etc… Besides the wife likes the look of laminate.

7

I’m guessing you don’t know if it’s a boy or girl yet? :slight_smile:

8

Indeed. We could have found out a while ago, but going against the norm and instead we both would like to be surprised.

9

tranny surprise

10

Wow, didn’t plan on that course correction.

11

nothing tranny here… move along

12

very nice

speaking from experience get as much done (if not everything) before the baby comes.
your world will stop.
home remodeling is almost impossible when kids arrive

13

That’s why I sold my kids…had to cover the cost of copper lines.

Anway, looks real good. Went from a 90s DIY halfassery to a nice neutral clean room. Great job!

14

looks great! good work, I love the floor

15

I’m pushing for it!!!

thank you all… little upset seeing how we had carpet installed in our bedroom - kind of wish I would have done the same thing here in our bedroom.
