After ripping up the carpet and exposing a terrible looking half pine half oak wood floor I painted it! White to be exact. But I didn't stop there, the mantel turned white also.
The tall concrete light post was drug out of a trash pile and the china dolls in the photo frame were DUG out of the ground. Yes, I said DUG. When my pool was being put in the dolls were found.
I am still working on the room and will post pictures when it is finally done.
Working a full time job is hampering my renovations.
