The Bedroom Renovations - Befores and Afters

The girls' room. How do you get away from pink and purple in a room shared by two girly girls? You don't! The walls were pink, we repainted them...purple! It is less intense and more grown up, however. Tessa went from a lumpy, 30+ year old bed (I didn't know beds weren't supposed to last that long!)

Kaylee went from a small, low, just-her-size bed to a very tall, very big bed. She thinks that makes her big enough to do anything now!
(No, folks, there was no trick photography used to make it look like there is no floor space left in the bedroom. All photos are actual size! The beds made a very small room very small, BUT the beds pushed together make a very fine, king size bed. Please, come for an overnight visit!)




Trevon's room - theme of red and blue nautical to green and blue nothing.



The too-many-toys and not-enough-shelves corner...


New (old) toy cupboard and his favorite...a rocking chair!
The always-a-mess desk...
To the drawers-closed-for-the-sake-of-a-picture-only dresser that has already started collecting treasures!

Wow! What a change for the better! Looks like a fun (but tiring) project. I'm glad we're not the only one with an "always a mess desk"...in fact, we've got 2! Ugh! If only I was motivated to clean!

Love the changes - nice work! Hmmm...we have an entire house that needs painting... :) I'm sure the kids will love their sparkling new digs!

Amy, you clever girl... if I ever come into some spare change I'm making you help me decorate! I'm hopeless.
It all looks greats!
