Better Renovations: Jordan's Room, Before

This was Jordan's room while he was growing up at Better Farm. Since he relocated to Watertown with all his stuff, the space has acted as more of a guest room/storage space. There's a lot to clear out! Also, the walls need a lot of work. But though it's tiny, there's room enough to bring in a bunk bed, paint it a great color, and get some nice window treatments. And how about the koala lamp! Perfection...
  • Figure out how to smooth out the walls behind and next to bed. New boards?
  • De-clutter
  • Fresh coat of paint
  • Patch holes in walls
  • Handle spackle situation on the wall next to the door
  • New carpeting?
