I started working on the girl’s room a few weeks ago.  {before photos, here}  It was in need of some updates and new paint.  I started with The Lord’s Prayer sampler as inspiration and pulled the wall color from it.  The girls had pretty much destroyed the walls, so we needed to repair them before we painted. {my mom did all the painting, THANKS MOM!}

I bought the “beds” from a friend.  I say “beds” because it is technically one bed.  It had a headboard and foot-board that I {meaning my dad, THANKS DAD!} made into another headboard.  It involved a lot of grinding and sparks!  He removed the metal brackets and added a wooden support.  You can’t even tell that it wasn’t originally a headboard, right?

I replaced the original chandelier with this one.  It is one I picked up for $1 a long time ago.  It needed a little work, but it is a little bigger than the previous one  and works better in the space.  It needs some shades, but I haven’t found the right ones yet.

I reinstalled the Pottery Barn bedside lamps that were on the opposite wall, and moved the hall dresser in-between the beds for the night stand.

There’s still quite a bit to do, but it’s coming together!  I can’t wait to show the curtains…I’m working on those now.

AWWW, progress! 🙂
