If you like to write death wishes to people on doors and karate-kick walls, our upstairs extra bedroom was the place for you.
The walls in this room were probably the worst in the house. Lots of holes. Lots of dirt. We also found several knives in the closets and carpet. (It really wasn’t that strange by this point, because we found more than ten knives throughout the house and yard. Not really sure why. Large and small knives were hidden throughout, several were even dug out in the backyard.) 
And don’t even get me started on the graffiti. Several coats of primer and paint seemed to work, but there are a few “RIP”s in black marker poking through the back of the door. Oh well…call it character.
After replacing the carpet, walls, woodwork and light fixtures and building me a closet in the eaves, here’s what it looks like now.

I smile every time I walk in this room. I love this quilt – it’s a JCPenney find. I hung photos of my parents and grandparents on their wedding days on the wall. The bedroom set is the first furniture I ever purchased on my own – Pier One from Ebay. I don’t think I could ever part with it.
Here’s the closet Ryan built me.
This is the end of our full-house (and yard, and garage tour). I hope you enjoyed it. Here’s an overview, in case you missed (or are REALLY REALLY bored…)
I am speechless – you and your husband have done such a beautiful job on your home. What a gift you have to be able to see through all the damage and envision what is would look like. AMAZING!!!
If I ever visit, consider me a permanent guest ’cause I’m never leaving. It’s like a quaint bed & breakfast!!
FYI: I like my eggs sunny side up and love to take extra long showers. =]
wow!! i’ve said it before – but you guys were waaay braver when buying that house than i would ever be!! but you’ve done a great job and you have a lot to show for your efforts!!
Wow, I cannot believe this is the same room. And what is up with the knives!!!??!! That is so weird!
Spectacular!! You guys have done so much work and should be immensely proud of yourselves.
I’m so impressed that you could see the great potential hiding in that room. It looks great now!!
I loved staying in this room:)
