We had previously painted in Peter's room, we just needed to touch up the trim (which we decided to keep the original color, so we had to color match a pint to touch up areas of it) and do something to the floor.
We were thinking we'd have to paint the floor until we could afford to do something more permanent. But, we knew the first step was to remove the old beat up "tile" that was there.
We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice looking wood floor underneath! It will require some sanding and refinishing later, but it looks MUCH better than the beat up fake tile that was there!

It looks like the room used to have a closet and they just put some untreated wood in the spot that the closet wall was. Long ago, the boys' rooms must have been one room. Someone decided to tear out the end closet and put a divider in to create two rooms.

There was no ceiling fixture in Peter's room, so we got my brother Dean's help to put in new electrical for a ceiling light and fan.

What a nice surprise, to find the nice hardwood flooring underneath! :) Looks like you guys have done a lot of work in Peter's room... in just a few weeks, we'll get to see all your work!

It'll be fun to show you guys all the work we've done. We still have a lot to do, and it gets discouraging if we think of it that way, but we have gotten SO much done already. :)
