(no subject)
I spent the break working on my bedroom. I am having a hard time finding housemates, so I figure I may as well move all my crap to the other bedroom, fix up my room, make space to squeeze all my stuff from my "office" (AKA the crap room) into my bedroom and prettify in the process. So far I have:
1. Moved all the crap out of my room (had help)
2. Caulked the shit out of my room
3. Put one coat of periwinkle paint on the walls
4. One coat of black paint on the trim
5. Two coats of black on the doors
6. Primed and 2 coats of red on the accent wall
7. Primed and painted red one closet
8. Pulled out carpet
9. Demoed the tack strip. I am She-Ra
10. Cleaned and scrubbed and scraped
11. Painted the plywood floor with one coat of a dark reddish brown floor paint
12. Filled in the gap under the shoe moulding with foam and cut the foam
13. Done the stoner playtime part where I cut out scale models of all my furniture and rearranged them on graph paper til I got the layout perfect
14. Gathered a shitload of red and black accessories - rug, saris, tea tins, purses, pillow,
Still to go:
1. Select, buy, cut, paint and install new shoe moulding
2. One more coat of paint on trim
3. Paint a bronze glaze on trim and doors
4. Another coat of periwinkle on walls
5. Prime and paint the other closet
6. Buy 30-40 yards of raw muslin, dye it beige (of all colors!) and staple-gun to the ceiling (help from two friends for this)
7. Figure out some way to finish the edge of the ceiling (crown moulding? more muslin?)
8. Finish cutting the stencil for the pattern that will be on the floor
9. Find a good box to use to tape the stencil on the bottom of so I can use spray paint and not deal with it bleeding over the edges
10. Another coat of brown on the floor
11. By this point I hope I will have figured out what kind of border I want/whether to have a border, etc, design details (another friend helping with this)
12. Stencil, highlight the design with bronze marker pen (great idea given to me by friend)
13. Do the lighting, furniture arranging, hang art, etc
14. Slowly elaborate - add details, etc
I'm glad I wrote that out. I knew I was more than halfway done, but I am REALLY more than halfway done with the parts that keep me from moving back in there. Yay!
