Of all the rooms in this 100 year old building, the second bedroom needed the least amount of work. This 10x16 room with a walk-in closet had more than three layers of peeling paint over three layers of peeling wallpaper! So when scraping didn't cut it, my husband and I started steaming. We steamed for two days before coming to the conclusion that our 12" steamer was going to take and whole week to finish the job. That is when my husband got creative! Below is the contraption that he came up with:
This is a plastic bin from the dollar store that had a hole drilled in the center for the steam to enter the chamber, making it possible for us to do about 4 square feet at a time.
Pictured above is my brother-in-law volunteering to help steam.
After a lot of steaming, painting, and polishing the wood floors, the results are stunning!
The walls are painted a clean linen blue, with an antique white ceiling. The floors are the original color.
Our boys LOVE superheroes, so I stole this idea from Pinterest.
