Bathroom half way point...

So on Monday, I had it with our bathroom. I was cleaning the bottom of the toilet and almost puked because of the "stains" that are left when individuals miss! I literally could not take the carpet in the bathroom any longer. Problem is, the carpet is glued down to linoleum. I tried several methods to get the carpet to pull up, fabric softener and hot water, WD-40, Goof off, and soaking it in hot water. I was using a hand scraper and my hands were shot! It wasn't until Reo came home and showed me the amazing ice picker that we have! I soon found that our wallpaper steamer works amazing to pull up the glue with the ice scraper! It went so quick after that but we still had the glue residue. Yuck! I found some stuff at Home Depot that is adhesive remover. This was found in the flooring department near the glue that you would use to put floor down with. We also decided to rip out the wallpaper! Yrs the beautiful seashells from 1970 was coming down! That made me very very happy!

Here is the before pic. 

There is part of the carpet gone! 

Here's my hunny taking down stuff off the walls

Of course Kenley got involved

Painting! Woooohooo! Kenley picked out the color! Oceanus! Love it!

 No we are not leaving the pink counter top or that vanity! As soon as we officially close on the house we will start the demo of the vanity, add another sink, update lighting, get a new toilet, and flooring of course! But I don't have to look at stains on the carpet any longer! And that makes me so so happy! Here is a pic of our flooring now.

Coming together??? Kind of...

The last week has been crazy!

Recap! We have painted the living room, master bedroom, Kenley's room, Avon's room, hallway, and one wall in the dining room. We have removed carpet from the entire upstairs except for the bathroom(ewwwww gross I know, but we can't until we demo it!) We put down new flooring the living room and hallway. We pulled the old carpet out of the spare room downstairs as well!

Now we are ready for movers right???? Ahhhhh! Scary!

Here are some before and afters I put together.

Here is the master bedroom

Kenley's room

Living room with stuff in it!

What could be the worst thing to happen while you are in the middle of a move??? Getting the tummy flu! There is nothing worse then having the chillls, but you don't know where your sweaters are, needing water but having no idea where your cups are, wanting to curl up in bed but you don't know where your pillows are, and just being in the comfort of your own home....but I guess this is home now....

Here is Kenley who did a whole lot on Thursday, but I don't really know what she did because....

This is me. Passed out. Isn't she so sweet to take pictures of her sleeping sick momma. 

The show must go on. After a day and a half of unpacking here is the garage...box haven! 

This is what my dining room looks like. 

The living room. 

Kenley's room, she tries hard to unpack boxes, but becomes very distracted playing with toys she hasn't seen in a month. 

Here is Avon's room. His Broncos gear is up already...priorities people!

Our downstairs family room looks really good! I busted this out today! 

The 4th bedroom is storage! 

Busting out some boxes and here is the kitchen and dining room.

Another view of the mess

And here is a view of my attire. My sweet 8 year old commented, "Hey mom, do you remember when we were in San Diego and we saw those people living in boxes on the beach?" Me, "yeah buddy" Avon replies, "yeah today you look like one of those people." 

I thought I would share a pic of my homeless San Diego look...in the crochet Uggs! :) It's good for a laugh right! 

Day 4...more paint and carpet removal

Today is all about finishing up projects so the movers can move our stuff in and we can live in it! On the agenda: flooring and painting!

I finished painting the master bedroom so we can finally rip up the carpet. 

Freshly painted and now the moment of truth! It's unnerving pulling up carpet because you don't know what you will find underneath. The hardwood looked great under the edges where we pulled up the carpet, but you just don't know until it's up! Ready, set, GO! 

That's the pad that is crumbling and super NASTY!!! 

My sweet father in law ripped up the tacks and Pauline pulled up staples. Uncle Nash played with the kids so they stayed out of our way! :)

So pretty with the paint. Once again.... LOVE Behr Marquee paint! 1 quart! Peppery is the color and I LOVE IT! I don't know why, but in this house I went darker than I ever have!

Now onto Kenley's room. Pauline and I got started on the painting. We did the accent wall in pink and painted the trim. The rest of the walls were in pretty great shape, so we left them. 

Love those floors! Seriously! 

Here is the progress on the floors in the living room. Coming right along! Reo stayed to get the rest of the flooring done while I took the kids home. Now onto Gillette to have the movers get our stuff. 

Onto Sheridan....
