We started by redoing the floor. It used to be carpet, but with the dogs, it's hard to keep carpet clean. so, we got some laminate flooring and laid it. I pulled up all the carpet on a Thursday evening and Mark came over on Friday and Saturday and helped me lay down the laminate. That's the first time I had ever done it (and Mark's second) but I'd say we did a pretty good job.
Our next step was Kim painting. She did it over just a few days but hoofed it and got it done. She did an awesome job making it a kid friendly room! She also painted all the trim white which really made it look better.
Here is a decoration Kim did with Elise's basketball "jersey" from the league this year. We put it on the wall in her play area.
Kim painted the steps as well and they turned out awesome. All different colors and numbered 1-10. Elise loves climbing up them.
She also painted the stairwell which really brightened it up. It used to be dark brown paneling. This livens it up.
Here is the new fabric Kim put over the closet doors in the play area. The doors themselves are pretty ratty. This gives them a little more pizazz.
I built this shelf and Kim painted the frames white and we added our little family picture and trophy section from the basketball leagues.
Kim used the same fabric from the closet doors to make this valence with stitch witchery.
