Our New Bedroom!

It's been a long time coming, but after almost three years of living in our house we FINALLY completed our bedroom.  We have gotten sidelined by other projects along the way (carpeting, new doors throughout, paint in every room, pergo in the kitchen and entry, etc, etc, etc....), but we finally have a bedroom that I LOVE!

Here's a little progression from when we first moved in until now...

These were taken a few weeks after we moved in, pretty bland...huh? (July 2007)




OK...get ready to be really scared.  Here are some pics right before Kevin painted the room...hence the painters tape and Spackle on the walls. (Don't mind the comforter that was completely flattened and destroyed by Mr. Bono...) (August 2009)





Ok, at least we have painted walls, new window coverings and bedding, and wainscoting up. Also, Bono is no longer allowed on the bed! :) (October 2009)




Yay, new furniture, TV, ceiling fan, and decor!  We're moving up in the world :) (May 2010)






We love our new bedroom so much that we came home on Friday night, and just ended up watching TV in our room.  We were asleep by 10:30. :)  That's ok though.  Of all the work we have done on the house, I think this was our most dramatic transformation.  We still want to do tile in the bathroom (and get rid of the last of the hideous linoleum), but it will all happen in good time. 

Although Kevin says that he enjoys projects, I think we have both decided that we want to build our next house, so we can have more say in everything.  But, all in all, we can't complain.  We're finally getting our house close to where we want it, and I'm ok with that!

***Side note, the cherry wood dresser, chest, and nightstand are still for sale!***  ;-)

WOW!!!!

I am so impressed! The colors are so soothing, and I love the fact that you wainscotted the bottom with beadboard and painted the top. LOVE the new furniture and the comforter. You did a fabulous job of coordinating your colors - I love how you picked up the accent colors of the bed linens in the seashell pictures in the bathroom.

I also love the architecture of the house - that partial wall for the bathroom is genius - lets the light shine through and highlight the ceiling.

Great job!

Thank you! Although Kevin deserves most of the credit :). He did the room painting and wainscoting himself (I only helped paint it). When we were at Kohls this past weekend, he was the one to find the seashell pictures, that are an EXACT match for the paint on the wall! He defintely comes in handy :).

I love how everything came together. We finally have a grown-up matching bedroom! :)
