Our summer of remodeling projects continues. This month was the hallway. The last of the popcorn ceiling has finally been removed. Steven is so relieved. Well, he did leave some in our closet as a reminder of what it was, but no one sees that on a regualr basis. :)
First this time, the before and after shots. We used Burnt Almond on the walls, painted the linen closet door white, installed new carpet and light fixture. And when I say we, I mean Steven installed and painted while I chose colors and fixtures based on the kitchen colors and the carpet he'd already bought years ago. We all know I had the harder job. *wink, wink*
Yet again I forgot to take a true before picture. I had already cleared all the pics off the wall and emptied the "showcase" on the right when he asked, "Did you take a before picture?" Doh!
The popcorn ceiling slowly disappearing. I think he was overflowing with joy at this part.
All I can say is YUCK! 30 years of collected dirt does not look pretty!
We found old markings from where we measured the kids once a long time ago, back when Ethan was shorter than Bekah!
Prepped for painting. At this point all the popcorn has been removed, the holes have been patched and the walls and ceiling have been retextured.
After painting, before carpet
All done! Nice and clean!
We have a few ideas on what's going to go back on the walls, but for right now we're enjoying the clean feel of it.
