A little before and after snapshot.......

Alright, so today I finally finished this room. NEVER EVER EVER will I EVER whitewash a room and ceiling again. It was hard enough hand painting each plank, waiting for it to "almost dry and then wiping it down. Then I got to the ceiling. My mom thought I would be able to use a roller to do it. Like I have said before, it's like painting with milk. When I tried the ceiling with the roller, the paint rained on me and I was covered. I had to hand paint each and every ceiling plank. AHHH!!! I am worn out! I don't have the room put together yet. I am waiting for carpet to be laid and of course the new furniture. But I thought I would show you a little snipit of my progress so far......

This was the room before. Yes that is 2 televisions. This room is a catch all right now. You can actually see the windows that line the room in the reflection of the tv.

This is what the walls look like now. The oar is one of my antique finds. $7.00! I love it. Right now it's just laying against the wall. I plan to hang it above the doorway of the room. It's a big difference from the old cedar rustic look. I'm soooooooo excited to have this room almost finished. I'll post the finished project soon!

Well, I like your "white wash" walls. They look like a weathered dock on the lake. I know, most people are going...."what the hell", but they'll see when you get it all done. It will be perfect.
