Painting the 'Yellow Room'

When we moved into our new house we knew two things right off the bat; 1 Moving is expensive, 2 That yellow room has got to go!

The people that used to live in our house had a 12 year old son. His room was sports themed with a wallpaper banner and the ugliest yellow paint you could imagine. Look around you, see the see something nasty yellow like a Post-it Note, banana, or Highlighter? It was uglier than that.

We decided last weekend that we would begin to tackle the 'Yellow Room' by first removing the wallpaper. That took a long time, even if it was only a wallpaper banner, it took a while to scrape the glue off..lots of elbow grease!

Secondly we had to clean the walls and putty up any holes, and this kid had holes galore in his room! Next was a good washdown and then the primer. I think we did a great job for our first paint experience..the Yellow Room is now The White Room, sorta like that KLF album all those years ago...remember? Remember? I think I was the only one who bought that album..Anyways..click on sexy me above for more photos.
