Do you guys want to see what its really like to work with me on an Epic Room Makeover?
You can tell Mark is a legit electrician because he never looses his pencil.
Sometimes when you sand a whole bunch of stuff your hair turns gray…
So what’s a girl to do?
I know! Put on an awesome wig and hit up the thrift store.
Small children running by paint happens constantly.
The following pictures represent THE WORST NIGHT EVER of the makeover. Hailee and I spend the entire day taping everything off because someone was going to come and spray the board and batten and the molding. Well at the last minute it fell through. Mark ran to the store at the last minute and bought a paint sprayer, and it was not awesome. This was at midnight. I think…I cant really remember as I have blocked this memory from my mind forever.
And the best part is that there were 7 people that needed to eat, so this is what we pulled out of Hailee’s fridge at the end of the first week. Yum.
But in the end it was TOTALLY worth it.
Here are the tutorials for the Living Room Makeover that I have posted thus far.

I love seeing the behind the scenes stuff. And OH MY GOSH I would kill for some In N Out right now!! It’s what I miss most about living in Vegas!!
Love the “during” pictures. My fav is the “kill me now” written on the wall before painting it. Thanks for sharing…funny stuff 🙂
I love this! I feel like I always think a project will be quick and easy and it NEVER is, you just have to laugh and have lots of sugar!!

Can you do a tutorial for this board and batten? I LOVE it, and I want to do it in my baby’s nursery, but I’m not sure how you did the horizontal boards. Thanks!
