How I did it: 1. I put all the things in drawers and closets.
2. I took out the moquette
3. I moved all the "movable" peaces of furniture.
4. I painted the walls (it took me 2 days).
5. I scrubbed the floor and put in linoleum (it was the cheapest solution)
6. Moved in all the furniture back in and unpacked the decorative peaces.
7. I put in new drapes and bought a new lamp.

Lessons & tips: - painting the walls isn't as easy as it seems
- cover the furniture with plastic when you paint the walls, also you can cover the floor :)
- find somewhere to sleep in the meanwhile
- don't give up when things get rough!

Resources: -the most useful products are: plastic for covering the furniture; music, a good detergent and beer at the end of the day :)
