My house is a fixer upper. My husband and I bought it a year and a half ago and every single surface needed updating. Except for a spray of white paint and an unsealed tile floor, nothing had been touched!
Slowly, we have gone room to room and updated it. My husband is very talented and he has done an amazing job!
If you will remember, a few weeks ago we worked with Glidden Paints from Walmart to paint our children’s outdoor playroom. It was so much fun and came out so well that we are thrilled to pair with Glidden Brilliance Collection Paints and Walmart to do a complete makeover in our neglected master bedroom.
Watch this video and listen for the HUGE announcement at the end:

These are pictures of our recent home improvement. My mother so graciously paid to have our back french doors replaced off of our kitchen. We have been living in our home for 11 years now and the original door was never put in properly so over the years it started to leak and rot out our underlying floor board. We ran into two major problems while doing this home improvement. The first contractor tried to overcharge and then come to find out that the door that we ordered was too small. Since it was a special ordered door we couldn’t exchange or return it. Our second contractor had to make some major adjustments to our opening and in doing so we had to have new drywall put in. Well, to top it off my husband lost his job recently and with me being a stay at home, homeschooling mom our funds are extremely tight. Due to the new drywall being put in we now must repaint our kitchen/dining area, walls and trim. Not exactly in the budget right now. That is why we would so love to win this contest. Thanks!
This is my video of why I wanted to win this so badly.

That is the ceiling, floor, and wall of my hallway. On the wall, it looks like a bunch of dark spots as if the wall is wet, and on the right side it’s all one solid color. The ceiling has a lot of big ugly cracks that I would love to be able to cover up or fix. The flooring is starting to peel up and nothing seems to be able to hold it down. Sometimes we trip on it but we can’t remove it because the floor underneath is not nice and the floorboards would fall off (they are nailed on but are constantly falling off and needing to be fixed. Thanks for the opportunity to win this Glidden mini-makeover.
This is why I need a bedroom makeover! BTW, something i didnt mention on my blog post was that i used to have the master bedroom but my son needed more space so i switched with him.

Unusual, perhaps, but it’s my deck that I’d make into a more usable space for my family. :)

Here’s a link to my photo (‘kids’ bathroom) I think the caption says it all! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=205080546217755&set=a.170547439671066.43998.100001474331989&type=1 I would love to be able to paint the walls/cabinetry and get new towels, shower curtain, hardware, faucet, etc since there is nothing I can do about the blue toilet, sink, tub and tiling without shelling out major money!

This is our current living room. As you can see it is white, bland, and sparse. The other wall consists of more white and nothingness. Hand me down furniture is what we can afford right now. My kingdom for a pretty colored throw pillow and some paint or artwork! Or maybe even a lamp!

Not only is it in the cosmetic disarray that we found it it when we bought the house but what should be the “office” looks like a den for a hobo.

I am doing what I can to save animals who have no home. I will be able to do more in two years when my daughter graduates high school and we move. Before that happens we have to fix the house we’re in. I have a pit bull who was rescued from FL that pitched huge fits when I left him at first. He is the best dog we have now though. This is a pic of my bedroom door he ate a hole in. This is just one instance of why I need a makeover. Lol. He ate the carpet in my bedroom. He ate up $3000 worth of brand new furniture. I have to replace all the metal blinds from the dogs trying to see outside. I love them though and it’s all worth it to me. I just keep telling myself and my family two more years. We will then move to the country and they will have tons of room to run wild.

Here is my video– http://www.youtube.com/user/weeshareblog#p/a/u/0/XReslM-OcDA I need to redo my office– it has became a dumping ground since we moved into our new house!!
Here is my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t8cSKKb38s. This is just one of the rooms in my house that needs to get done. My house is really stuck in the 60’s and now that we have been here for awhile, it’s time to get busy. I know what I want and while I don’t have the money for a big makeover, a mini-makeover would be perfect. This is one gloomy room.

Just a note that I’m following @glidden_paint on twitter and not @glidden as is listed in the rafflecopter form, because I think it’s a typo. The profile for @glidden only has one tweet that is not paint-related. http://twitter.com/#!/sunnymum/status/107077423031529472 (sunnymum)

Here is a photo of our new rental house. We can’t get inside yet to show you a picture but the kids bedrooms have pink walls and I have BOYS! :)
My husband and I really really need an upgrade to our bedroom. I actually hate my bedroom. My kids have beautiful rooms filled with beautiful bright colors as we always put our children first. Because of this we haven’t been able to do anything with our bedroom. Please help! We are currently expecting our 3rd child (due in jan) so we won’t have any extra money for our room for a very long time. Here are pics of our bedroom. http://tinypic.com/r/rlicmw/7 & http://tinypic.com/r/wcitua/7 thank you for this chance! :)

my room needs storage solutions! and a makeover!
http://twitpic.com/6bncy0 I love my house, but my living room is tough. There’s the cutout windows (pictured) with wood trim plus the floors and the fireplace that I’m trying to figure out the perfect color that will tone down the orange in the wood, as well as the reds in the brick. I won’t even get into the popcorn ceiling and the ugly ceiling fan (with NO overhead light, I might add!)
As you can see from my facebook link, I’m
in the middle of a bathroom remodel. I’m WAY over budget and this would
help me get those things like new matching hardware, shower curtain,
towel and accessories that we just can’t afford after all this work is
done……would be so great to win. Mostly, though I’m so grateful to be
getting rid of that green tub…..last month, the entire bathroom was that
color before it was gutted!!! YUCK
