Before and After

I always love a good before and after picture so I thought I'd share what I've been working on in my spare time over the last month.

This is a bedroom in my parents house that was mine and then my little sisters.

THIS IS THE EAST FACING WALL BEFORE

AND AFTER PAINT: DARK GREY WALLS AND LIGHT GREY VAULTED CEILING WITH WHITE TRIM

ADDING A LITTLE COLOR

AND OF COURSE WE NEEDED A PLACE FOR MAVEN TO SLEEP SINCE WE WILL BE HERE A LOT DURING HARVEST AND WHILE BRAD IS GONE

ONE OF THE BIG PROJECTS I LEARNED HOW TO DO WAS PUTTING UP BASEBOARDS.

SINCE THIS ROOM HAD AN ACCUMULATION OF BOTH MINE AND MARY'S THINGS THAT WE CONVENIENTLY LEFT BEHIND WE HAD A LOT OF SORTING THROUGH TO DO. THIS IS THE SOUTH WALL BEFORE

DESK DE-CLUTTERED AND I PULLED OUT SOME PICTURES AND OUR TV I DIDN'T WANT IN STORAGE COLLECTING DUST.

AND FINALLY MY FAVORITE PART THE WEST AND NORTH WALLS BEFORE

MY FAVORITE PROJECT WAS GIVING THE OLD DRESSER A MAKEOVER. MY PARENTS HAVE HAD THIS DRESSER SINCE THEY WERE FIRST MARRIED. IT WAS ALL WOOD EXCEPT A LAMINATE OVER THE TOP. SINCE WE COULDN'T RE-STAIN IT WE DECIDED TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT.

AND FINALLY THE DORMER.

We have lots of other projects we would like to do over the next year while I'm at my parents so stay tuned.
