Hi.

Welcome!

Finishing Touches...

Well, I guess I got a long enough break from remodeling.  I am getting the urge again, so I decided to do a few finishing touches on our beautiful purple bedroom.  I told Eric all about them one morning, but evidently he didn't take me seriously because he was somewhat surprised when I came home with new curtains and frames that day, and then he came home to a stinky closet (paint smell) and a box with a new fan. I love how it has turned out! Here are before and afters =) Before... no curtains, tacky ugly fan, and no crown molding...but pretty walls.

After!!! Pretty new curtains and a nice new fan!  It has amber glass that matches the curtains and bedding perfectly =)

Before... just a desk

After... new pictures and the silk orchid in the pretty silver vase Andy gave us for our wedding.  Plus I switched the scrapbooks for matching ones.

I moved our pretty picture of lavender fields to this wall so we could see it from the bed... originally it was on the wall with the window but the curtains hid part of it.

I repainted the inside of the closet because we ALWAYS leave it open (Eric tried to fix this by getting up and shutting the doors when I mentioned the problem, but they didn't stay shut long.  The new fresh paint helped a lot!  Also, we underutilized this shelving, so I put some pretty pictures on it to make me even a bit happier for the doors to be open.  We don't have a lot of space to display stuff so this is actually really nice!

So those are the things that were most pressing to me... I'm still considering buying a chair to go on the other side of the bed that I can use for a nightstand/desk chair... but I'm in no rush as I can use the little stool we have as a nightstand for that if I'm doing enough on that computer to want it.

Also under consideration... a colorful pillow for the bed, and new hardware for the doors.  (I hate the gold people, I won't stop till it's all gone =)  But that will probably wait and be done all at once, probably after Serenity learns to open this kind of doorknob so there's no keeping her out of anything.  But that's it for now!!!

(Next to get a few additions... possibly Serenity's ceiling!)

Fun activities =)
