Room Remodel – Painting…oh my!
Room Remodel
We have begun! We are completely redoing my 16 year old son’s bedroom thanks to Walmart. Today is painting! (No..my son hasn’t been sleeping on the floor without any bedding. LOL) We already carted out the the bunk beds that were previously in there. He did share a room with my step son. We have moved Drew down to the basement. {He chose it and is calling it his “man cave”}
We have already planned out the room on paper. We have purchased most of what we are going to use in the bedroom. I have a couple of things on order that Walmart does not have in the stores.
Now for the paint. My sister is an artist. She has such an eye for what looks right. So I consulted with her. We have decided to go with a very dark gray on 2 of the walls. I know it sounds really strange…but you will just have to follow along over the next couple of weeks to see how it is going to look.

Remodeling A Room – The Beginning Steps
Remodeling A Room
You have decided you want to redo your teen’s bedroom? Your teen or almost teen has outgrown The Dora the Explorer or Scoobie Doo comforters and are begging you to make their room a little “older”.
Where do you begin?
Steps To Remodeling
1) Take a “Before” picture. I love before pictures…it lets you see how far you have come once you finish the project.
2) Decide on your budget. This is important BEFORE you go shopping for anything. It will determine if you are shopping at a high end store or garage sales.
3) Get some graph paper and figure out your scale. 1 square = 1 foot or 2 squares = 1 foot. Measure your room dimensions and then measure any furniture that will be staying in the room. Then you can cut out the pieces and play with different arrangements in the room.
4) Pick a theme / colors for the room. (That is the fun part!)
5) Clear out the room and clean. Paint if you are going to paint
6) After you know how your furniture is going to fit into the space, then move the new or old furniture back into the room.
7) Add your new decor and you are done.
The Sorting Process
Be sure that when you take things out of the room…you go through your sorting process.
1)Keep
2)Donate
3)Move
4)Store
5)Trash

Remodeling a Room – A Journey
Remodeling a Teenagers Bedroom.
A portion of my two teenagers bedroom.
Over the next couple of weeks I am going to take you on a journey with me. I am going to take a teenagers bedroom and overhaul it. Thanks to Walmart I have been given the opportunity to completely overhaul my teenagers bedroom. Now…for us we have two teenagers in this room. We gave the boys the options..and this is what they decided. The older of the two boys is going to get this room. The younger of the two (and he had the final decision) picked to move his room to an unfinished room in the basement. So not only do we have one bedroom to have completed (before Aug.7 by the way)…we are actually overhauling two rooms!!
In this room (which is about 10×12) there is the bunk bed set you see, two dressers and that is about it. So they are thrilled to be getting their own spaces.
Here is the deal that Walmart has offered me. This is sooo cool! They have a new line out in their stores for teenagers that is called “Your Zone”. You can mix and match from furniture to decor…and you can do it right on their web site. It is fun to play with.
Contest for You!!
But all you who are thinking how lucky I am to have this chance to change my teenagers room…guess what….YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE TOO!!!!!
In the coming weeks…so you have to keep watching….I will be having a contest so that one of you also gets a $500 gift card to redecorate your teenagers room!! Is that too cool or what!!??? I am so excited to be able to offer this to all of you!
I just found out about this whole thing at the end of last week, so I am still in the planning stages (and don’t have a lot of time for the whole thing). I am taking a trip to Walmart today to check things out in person.
