Our bedroom

It seems like with just the few extra days off, we were able to get so much done!
We worked on our bedroom back in October when my parents were here, but finally got around to finishing up a few things. There's always something more to do, but for now, I'm excited at what we have accomplished.

Before:

1950's curtains

Plain white walls

Awful wood closet doors; these are in every room

Boring

We didn't change this, but someday it will be replaced with a ceiling fan- for now, I actually like this light

These were hanging above our bed, but when we painted the walls, they no longer matched.
Wait until you see how I repurposed them!

After:

Makes me happy!

I took those four bamboo Walmart art pieces and covered them in fabric that my mom got me for Christmas. The finished product is so awesome, sometimes I walk in there just to look again!

I really don't know if those fabric flags are out of style; I suppose they are by now, but I think it looks adorable and ties the room together

Curtains and rods from Ikea. The curtains we found in the bargain area for $10 each!

 My sister in law gave me this for Christmas which totally coordinates with the fabric my mom got me- how cool is that! Their gifts inspired the finishing of this room!

Another little crafty project: we had this not exciting silver lamp with an even less exciting shade so I spray painted the lamp white and modge-podged strips of browm paper to the shade- when the light is on it looks so neat!

Revamping things makes me so happy! 

We painted the closet doors a shade darker then the room and they look amazing! At first I was scared and thought we'd made a huge mistake, but seriously, it looks so good I think I will do it in every room!

The walls are a kind of gray blue, but more blue then they look here.

It is so fun to see this house come together.  Andy and I are loving working on projects but not being in a rush to get anything done. Love making this place 'home'!
