Rehabbed bedrooms

This house has 3 bedrooms. First views were not bad, although the rooms had junk in them.




They ended up being a little more work than I thought. There was wallpaper, which I thought would just come down and I would patch and paint. Not so - there were multiple layers of wallpaper, very old - down to the original wallboard.
I soon realized that this would not be possible to remove, so I skim coated the walls with joint compound and then painted.


The floors upstairs are red pine. The varnish had darkened to the point that I thought the floors were actually stained, but turns out they weren't.



Rooms finished. They were all done in the same color scheme: Magnolia Spray on the walls with white trim.
