For some reason I don't have very good before pictures but you get the idea!
The steps
#1 take down 4 HUGE mirrors
#2 RIP down wall paper
#3 Spray with DIF and remove backing
#4 Get a bucket of water and TONS of sponges and wash no SCRUB the glue off the wall
#5 Patch numerous holes due to large mirrors and 1960's intercoms system
#6 put texture on
#7 Prime all the walls
#8 Paint walls
#9 Put up chair rail and baseboards (by the way Emily and I did that all by ourselves!!!!)
#10 rip out NASTY cat pee carpet (well pay someone to do that)
#11 New carpet
#12 New light fixture
#13 Sew and put up curtains
I am sure I am forgetting some steps but that is what I remember right now!!!
