Bedroom 2 before and after

By




No more dark paneling, dirty mauve shag carpet, log cabin-worthy trim, or acoustic tiles stapled to the ceiling. No more opening the door and walking smack into a shelving unit.

The headquarters had dog houses but no dogs visible during our visit, so we looked ar...

Hopefully scraping, sanding, and touch-up paint will do the trick.
