[QUOTE="Lil, post: 646796, member: 17309"] It's actually not THAT bad! :unsure: But taking the door off without immediately replacing it is problematic. The door is...but the room itself isn't terrible. He took his bed, chair and nightstand. It's dirty, but it was mostly picked up because a month or so before we put him out we'd sold his loft bed and replaced it with a twin...so it had been cleaned up to get the loft out. Sure, there's stuff to toss or bag up, but not that much. The carpet is ruined, but it's ruined thru the whole house and has to be replaced...so not that big of a deal. The problem is it's BRIGHT blue...with astronaut wallpaper border. We bought the house when he was barely 7. It was the only room I actually decorated beyond tossing a coat of neutral paint on it. I started asking if he wanted something more mature when he was about 12 or 13. His answer was always the same, [I]"There's no need. It's fine. I'll be moving out in a few years, change it then."[/I] Right up to the day he moved out, he didn't care that it was a 7-year-old's room. So...if I take off the door, I then have to look into my little boy's room...really my little boy's room....unless I also strip wallpaper and paint and put up new curtains (to replace the ones that are printed with stars to look like the night sky). So it kind of all has to be done at once. :rolleyes: Even this can't be easy. Thank God I never painted the ceiling midnight blue with glow-in-the-dark constellations like I'd planned. ;) [/QUOTE]
