Redecorating

Alright, so it is Memorial Day weekend, which means I have plenty of time to get projects finished (or started). I have been in the process of redecorating the room I moved into after my brother moved out. I can safely say after spending half the day working on the ceiling fan, the ceiling is finished.

First, I want to show you what the ceiling looked like before:


Yeah, it was that bad. My brother was a huge fan of Linkin Park and he had a giant version of their logo on the ceiling. I will admit, it was his request and I did it for him, but that was way before the thought of still being at home after he left crossed my mind. So after moving in, it took me a little while, but I got the walls and ceiling repainted.


Green walls with a tan ceiling, but the ceiling fan remained largely untouched for a few more months. One afternoon I decided that I needed to replace the glass part of the ceiling fan (there's got to be a technical term, but honestly I can't come up with it right now). So I discovered these beauties at Menards and on clearance no less!


I let it sit for about another month before I decided I really needed to finish this project. I decided on a paint color for the blades and went out and bought it, waiting for a weekend or an afternoon where I can get to it. That time finally came around, I spent the entire afternoon this Saturday taking down, painting, and putting back up, the blades.



I can finally call my ceiling finished and I am incredibly happy. Next this weekend I think will be to finally get up some curtains in the room.
