Whitewashed

Apparently, when you paint over the paint in a little boy's room you need to do extensive sanding and cleaning or the blue paint will not bond. It will then commence to peel off in interesting designs revealing the paint from eight and half years ago.

The above shows the almost finished room, awaiting the rental of a steam cleaner.

Little boys are somewhat hard on carpets, especially when they leave a half eaten banana under their bed for several weeks before the dad finds it and almost launches his cookies in disgust.
