-| MakeOver Vol.1 |-

That's our future room and DIY renovation is in progress. We have been working on it for a month now and hopefully it'll be completed in another 3 weeks time. I can't wait to move in because I love love love to have my own bathroom. The little wooden door in the 1st picture is the door to my own little bathroom. :D. We have another wooden door that leads to the rest of the house and a glass panel sliding door that opens up to the backyard. Cool huh?

Anyway here's the work we've accomplished so far:

1. Scraping off the "Popcorn" ceiling
2. Filling up cracks on the ceiling
3. Painting the ceiling. We chose pale yellow to go with the new wall colors
4. Removing the old wall edging strips/wall trims
5. Replacing the old wall with new ones. As you can see from the 2nd picture, the old wall is the white area in the picture with small little holes texture. We thought it looks kinda weird and painting it would be a toughie
6. Painting the walls. We chose bright orange and dark chocolate for the walls to create a little bright and dark contrast as we didn't want the room to be too bright nor too dark
7. Fixing the new little edging strips from hell!!! Man, taking them out was so easy but putting them back was tough as hell. The toughest part is getting the angles and measurements right. So next time, when your contractor charges you a little more for the edges, don't complain
8. Painted the edging strips from hell white

And that's all for now.

Stay tuned for more info as we progress further in the makeover project.

    Sounds like a lot of work needs to be done for the makeover. If me, I would most likely give up halfway n hire someone to do everything. hehehe...

    But can't wait to see the end result though :)
