And it recently dawned on me that I've never done a before and after post featuring my very first home improvement project. When we moved into our home, I was exactly 9 months pregnant with Chloe. I knew what room I wanted to put her in, but it needed some work. Here's the room when we moved in:
It had horrible, dilapidated, dirty shaggy green/brown carpet and needed a paint job. I tore out the carpet along with what was left of the padding and the pounds of dirt and dust and dead roaches hiding under it all a few weeks before I had Chloe (with the aid of a respirator).This is the room after a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint:
Instead of taking the tile out and risking asbestos inhalation, I opted to cover the tile with floor leveler. I did this step the day Chloe was born. I was tired of being pregnant, and I really wanted to get it done before my mom come, so I went to Home Depot, bought the bag of leveler, and spent the day on my hands and knees spreading the stuff around. And here's the product of that:
And Chloe was born later that night.A few months after Chloe was born, this is what her room looked like. And all for under $275 (well, not the crib)!
I guess that's it! Hopefully there will be more to come as I get the house ready to sell.
