Quarantine Project #1 Done - Closet Remodeling

Tweet

I posted about this a week or so ago, when I was still working on painting. I started this project before the Coronavirus stuff amped up, before we were suggested to STAY HOME, before mass amounts of businesses were shut down. I am not a big TV watcher, so I was thinking about diving into projects around the house. I rent the upstairs part of a duplex, which my sister owns. This house is a little bit older, evidenced by some of the 1960's baby-themed wallpapering I had to toil at getting rid of from the closet. She has given me essentially creative control over the upstairs duplex (within REASON, of course). I scraped the original wallpapering off, painted (did I mention - painting - even with a roller - is extremely hard work - and doesn't look that great when I do it. So many drips!) and then applied some cute peel-and-stick wallpapering up top. Which proved to be much more time consuming and difficult than I thought it was going to be. It turned out decently, but honestly, looks better from far away than up close. (Ha ha, just keeping it real). What's nice is while taking all my of clothes in and out, I found about 10 pieces of clothing I no longer fit in, like, or need. I also got the chance to do some cleaning and rearranging. I am still working full time, but still have Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays to fill up with "indoor" anti-social projects. I think I will start looking into painting the bedroom. It is currently a baby blue color and would look much better as a tan. I also wouldn't mind replacing a WINDOW that leaks terribly, but that's kind of above my skill set. Are you taking this opportunity to do any type of home improvement projects? Or what are you getting done? Hope everyone remains healthy & safe. I attached a photo - the ugly yellow on the left is the "before" and the cute flowers/navy is the after.
