Bedroom Makeover

When Zach had a break in the summer (seriously, like 8 months ago, and I'm finally posting about it), we re-did our bedroom. It was needing some help.

These before and after pictures make me think of some diet infomercial's. You know the ones, where the before picture the person is frowning, slouching, poor lighting, with pasty white skin, and the after picture they are smiling, tan, and have good posture. Well I guess this is the equivalent for our bedroom.

Before:
King bed taking up too much space, brown hand-me down dresser, empty candlesticks, old nightstand (not pictured), and bluish walls that don't match the olive green bedding.

After:
White paint,9 a queen bed which gives a lot more space in the room, a headboard we made using this tutorial, fun pillows


Desk, nightstand, and dresser, painted black, and given new hardware, found some candles to go on the candlesticks (I would really like to mat and frame the picture that's propped up on the dresser right now, but I hear that's pretty spendy so it might have to wait)


Put up a shelf, to hold wedding picture, clock and books

this is where the room is lacking. The poor window needs something, but I'm not sure if I will worry about it.

It's not perfect, but I love it.

Home, this is Home

For those who are interested, here are a bajillion pics of our townhouse. We're loving it and feel very fortunate to be living here. There is still some decorating I would like to do, but we're in no rush.

Upstairs Living Room


same


Laundry Room, complete with mountain of clean laundry


Living Room


Our Room (sorry for the crappy photo, I'm too lazy to take another)


Basement- this pic makes the paint look super bright, it's darker in person.


Basement again


Guest/Storage room- normally there aren't boxes all over the bed, but yesterday I had to get to our food storage which was, of course, at the very back of all our storage... clearly, I have yet to put back the boxes.


Kitchen


More Kitchen


Joe's Room - yes, it's purple. It actually matches his bedding really well, and I don't think he'll be old enough to care until around the time we move again.


More of Joe's Room


Bathroom- possibly the greatest upgrade from our pocatello apartment to here. I love not being embarrassed to have someone use our bathroom!
