What I Did On My Summer Vacation
The previous owners let their 13 year old daughter paint a mural on the walls and ceiling.
Here are the before shots in all their glory. Glossy black ceiling, glow in the dark moon, trees, owls, suns and a sunflower... all on a blue backdrop.

I did not take pictures of each step... because even (e:Paul) would not want to remember every step of this torture.
I cleaned and scraped the sticky tack used to hang posters with brushes and used adhesive removers. I used non-phosphate tsp to clean the walls, i snaded, i cleaned again, i did a coat of primer on the black bits, then 2 coats on all of it (which meant the black had 3 coats). Then, i painted the ceiling white and the walls orange.
Here are a couple of during pics, one mainly to show you how disgusting the carpeting was...

Lastly, the almost finished room. It needs details like better flooring, window coverings, some artwork and some bibs and bobs.... but, i finished it. With one day to spare.
