Remodeling my mom's spare bedroom

My mom, not being one to let anyone sit around and twiddle their thumbs, had us working on projects. The main one being remodeling her spare bedroom. With dad gone along with the hospital bed, dialysis machine, and mountains of supplies...this room was ripe for a new perspective. And we were excited to do it. Boy, we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.

The project took us 8 days -- mostly because of the ceiling and the layers upon layers upon layers of wallpaper and paint. We hoped we could just paint over the old wallpaper. Not! But I will tell you that 2 coats of primer is great for removing it. The room had a dropped ceiling consisting of 3-inch fiberglass insulation and walls covered with paneling as old as me. Mom wanted a "Country Cottage" room, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
