Room Reveal

We're onto week 2 of our $100 room challenge and I gotta say, I'm already behind schedule. Oops! Here's what we did in Week 1. This week we have gotten as far as peeling the decals off the wall and mudding the 1,762,931 holes, knicks & peeled paint that was left behind.

Sometimes, good paint choices go bad. They really, really do. I've always loved the look of a deep teal color and knew that I would one day have a room in this color.
