Oaken-Mist

This is it , i am moving in to this room , isnt it nice?(cue sarcasm here). so i plan on giving the room a complete makeover, from stripping the walls to refurbishing furniture, my budget is as small as it gets and anything i can make myself will go in this room and anything i can do to it i will.I figured its best to put it in stages, so here we are at the start of it all, stage one! here is my list for the stages of work to do.
To start remove all furniture and belongings as none of it belongs to me and then as follows in no particular order......

1.strip walls, clean window(black mold eeek)
2.fill any holes in walls,
3.paint walls
4.take off door and reverse(imo it opens the wrong way)
5.gloss door, windows etc
6.take up carpet
7.add new door handles to wardrobes
8.add new light switch

then on to stage two

1.mend, strip and sand floorboards
2.stain and varnish floorboards
3.buy a bed(kind of important hehe)
4.add pictures artwork etc
5.add curtains and window treatment
6.add a lightshade

then stage three

1.move furniture in ,which is a desk and an old tv cabinet both which need makeovers!
2.add furnishings, rug ornaments and so on
3.organise closet space
4.create different lighting zones

The biggest stage is stage one which is going to take the longest but its going to be done as quick and efficiant as possible.

The biggest budget breaker is going to be the bed or more so the mattress which is going to take a huge chunk, then maybe the computer chair but if second hand is possible other than a mattress then thats what we will get.

We are just two women a mother and daughter team working on one of the biggest projects to date while trying to juggle our everyday lives and we want to update you guys as we go.

So if your interested tune in for future posts and watch the transformation progress :D
