Redesign ~

Well, my 19 year old finished moving out the rest of his stuff this past week. I now have an empty room waiting to be revamped into my scrapbooking ~ craft room. Yay for me! OK, so here is what I am dealing with. The carpet is a red 70's shag and the walls are Cubs blue. Yeah it is hideous but it was like that when we moved in and my son loved it. He is a Red Sox fan so the colors still worked for him. Well, now I am going to have to paint this mess because the room is way too dark for my liking. There is only one window in the room and the ceiling fan light is a joke. I am going to have to take the fan down and replace it with some more practical task lighting. I started this past weekend with my revamp project. I have completed the primer and now I just need to paint. I am going to paint it a boring but bright white. I have several shelves and pictures that will add enough color that I do not need color on the wall too. Painting is going to have to wait for about two weeks though. We have our grandson this coming weekend so there will be no painting. I am sure that he would love to help me - no. I can see the mess and no. I have seen this child with fingerpaints, markers and crayons - no.
