I’m fixing up the walls in one of the bedrooms. It’ll be Victoria’s room, eventually.
It used to be Russell’s room and was a deep bright blue, very nice. But too many dings, holes, crayons and pens were added to it. Victoria had been in that room, in that state, for a few months, but recently moved into the room next to it temporarily, and the boys moved downstairs.
Victoria’s room will have wainscoating of beadboard, painted glossy white, with a chair rail above, and then the walls above that will be white or cream and pink wide stripes, with decopage of paperdoll stuff here and there. She’s requested “hearts” as well, similar to what’s on her web pages.
On the floor will be some kind of wood flooring. Right now it’s carpet original to this house in 1997. We are ripping it out piece by piece, out of the whole house. The steps and hallways are down to the bare plywood subfloor, and the living room will follow suit soon. Sounds funny, but I sure like the plywood sub-floor better than the carpet!
