Throwdown 2012: Jessi vs. Jeff

We've made our mark on pretty much every room in the house. Not unlike the way the dogs have...maybe with just a bit more flair. However, two rooms remain untouched: the Rocket Room and the John Lennon Room (Aptly named for the wallpaper that adorns the walls. At least that's what we tell people).

Since we both love DIY projects, are competitive, and have been known to disagree on decor, I thought a DIY Throwdown was in order.

So, while we are finalizing the rules, budget and timeframe, I thought I would introduce the contenders...
