Bedroom upgrade

Because our house was built before insulation was invented, we have no insulation in the exterior walls. So one room at a time, we rip down the plaster, fix the electrical, hang some insulation, then drywall over it. Well now it's time to rip up our youngest daughters bedroom.

This is going to be a makeup table, and the electrical feed to the porch

no plaster there (well, except for the corners)

ok I snuck this one in. We had to replace the microwave and installing that was a huge pain in the ass

Now with more drywall!

Still have some gaps in the corners

She had some very specific requirements for her room remodel. This is my princess. She rules all things girly and has to take all of the time for makeup, hair, and nails. Even has a dang youtube channel about it. So she wanted a makeup corner with lights installed around a huge mirror, and she wanted me to custom build a desk with tons of drawers for storage.

So I started the electrical with one new outlet that can feed up to the other stuff, and outside to the front porch stuff. Ended up with about 10 items on that circuit, so pulled a clean breaker there. Then I went above the level of the expected desk height for a double gang box. I put a light-up switch in there going to a couple of fixture single-gang boxes, and an outlet that includes 2 USB ports. That means she can plug in stuff both below and above the desk and plug the chargers directly into the USB's.

So far here we're just showing drywall. Guess what else she wants?

Mud, tape, and sanding done

Got all of the stuff taped up so we can paint

Trying the paint sprayer inside

She wanted it pink!

Everything turned out pink

even me

This is insane. She wanted it pink, she got it pink. Mission accomplished. I don't think I'm going to try using the sprayer inside again. Even I got covered in pink. Everything was covered in pink. I did get some on the ceiling, the fan, even the floor after we put down protective covering.

Next time we install trim, lights, furniture, etc. And as a finishing touch, she wants me to install some floating shelves so I'll get to figure out how to build those.
