The Crappy Little Room





One of the three bedrooms is rather small and crappy. There is no window and at the moment it has tan linoleum flooring and a 1960's office drop ceiling, both of which are completely covered in a layer of dust and grime. In an attempt to spruce it up in the cheapest way possible and make it liveable, we stripped out all of the homosote tiles in the hanging ceiling system and went nuts with some red spray paint. We also decided to paint the heater and the closet doors the same color and lay down some realy nice discount carpet from our local Mardens store. The coup de gras is that we are replacing the drop-in panels with ones made of oak ply that we cut ourselves and clear coated. The final touch will be that several of the panels will be replaced with plexi to allow some light into the room through the ceiling.
