Time For A POPP {A Sneak Peek of THE Room}

I've never been a great one 

about keeping my mouth shut about what I've been up to.

I just get too excited and want to share it with y'all!

:D

Besides, after 4 posts about what I'm doing or thinking about doing, 

I figured it was time to stop talking and do a quick POPP - 

Proof Of Progress Post.

Because I know y'all are like, "What is taking so long?!"

I feel ya, believe me!

So...  Here's a sneak peek.

A quickie reminder in case you forgot...

{To my ever-living shame}

This is what her room looked like when I started.

Poor child.

You can read about that debacle HERE.

{Hangs Head In Mortification.}

But, I'm proud to report that as of this morning:

1)  Walls are done. 

{Two Coats of Primer and 2 Coats of Paint.}

2)  Trim is done.

{Two Cost of Primer and 2 Coats of Paints.}

3)  2 coats of primer are on the floor.

After Sweeping, Vacuuming, cleaning out the old caulk with -
I kid you NOT - a butter knife -
{Scott rolled his eyes at me for that one.
Men with their proper tools for everything.
I say, whatever works will do the job!  LOL!}
 more vacuuming, mopping, and then waiting for it to dry.

{Needs 2 Coats of Paint}

Anyhoo...

This is why I was dreading the floors...

(You might want to cover your eyes for this one 

because it's the floor in all its...  AHEM...  Glory.)

Oh yeah.

Puuuuuuuurty.

WOO!  HOO!

{Yes, My poor child lived with these for almost 2 years!}

Ugh.

But check out the wall color, huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

I ADORE it!

Not too bad for mixing it myself!

And here are the floors as they look right now...

I'm still waiting on that 2nd coat to dry - 

should be about 30 minutes and 

then I'll put on the first coat of paint.

I am getting so stinkin' excited!

And seeing it like this makes all the blisters on my palms worth it!

{And the back ache...  Oh, Lord...  The BACK ACHE!  LOL!}

The floor paint has to wait 8 hours between coats, 

so I'll be finishing up the rest of the pretties 

I'm making for her room today.

The second coat will go on tonight, 

with a 24 hour waiting period 

before it can handle light traffic.

Unfortunately, this means that I won't be able to 

reveal for a little longer.

:(

I know!

I'm so disappointed that I won't be able to show you 

a completed room by tomorrow.

And probably not by Monday either.

I just don't want to take a chance of scratching the paint off, 

after all that work!

But, I will have some smaller little peeks 

as we gradually start to move furniture in, 

so stay tuned!

We're almost there, y'all!

Thanks for keeping me motivated to keep at it - 

especially Shari @ Turnstyle Vogue and Bliss @ Bliss Ranch.  

What would I do without their  daily kick in the... AHEM...  Pants?

Slave Drivers, I tell ya!

I cannot wait until I can show everything to you guys!

Until then, I'm trying to be patient.

:D
