As Promised.........

Ok, so here it is.......the BEFORE (can I get an OH MY???):





AND AFTER:












Now, I still have a lot to do, but we took our Christmas money and got the coverlet for the bed, new pillows, the black floating shelves, new blinds (THANK GOODNESS!!), a new door for the closet (which you cannot see!) and new curtains! We got EVERYTHING on sale or clearance, the best deal was the coverlet for the bed......are you ready?? Originally $119.....I paid $29!!! WHOO HOOO!!! The furniture we had..........BUT, my brother completely re-painted it all!! It was HORRIBLE before, it was oak and had these lovely sea shells on it. We filled in the sea shells with wood filler and sanded them out! We added new brushed nickel knobs, which were a great bargain too!! The walls are a color called cake stand blue........I know it's hard to see the color but, it's very soothing!


So, now I'm looking for more sliver accents for the walls.......they are a bit bare still. But do you see the awesome Chandalier??? It's my favorite part of the whole room! Thank you hubby!!!

It looks totally Snazzy! You did good.

I have been at Jacobs doing the same thing, but still have another week to finish everything up. Happy to have the break before school starts again.

Happy Day.

You have done a beautiful job!
And I love the new lighting.
I know you have said that it is hard to work with smaller spaces but I think you have done a great job.

And way to go with the great buy on the coverlet.
