Update: This Old House
I've finished painting the walls and trim. That was the easy part. Last night a truckowner and I went to Menard's and picked up 50 ft. of crown-molding for 89 cents/foot. It's not oak by any means, but it is wood. I painted the molding tonight, too. So now all that's left is putting up the molding and yanking up the filthy carpet.
I was pretty relieved tonight when I started to pull up the carpet and found that the wood underneath was in pretty good condition. Like in the other bedroom that we redid last summer, the people who put down the carpet didn't bother with a drop-cloth when they painted so there are speckles of white paint on the wood. That scrubs off fairly readily though. I'm just glad the wood is decent since I used the nasty carpet as a drop-cloth when I painted.
