Oh, FINE!

Well, you've waited long enough.  I'll show you the new room!  The dresser took longer than we originally planned, so today is actually the first day I've had it all together.

I still have sheer white curtains ($4 at IKEA for TWO panels!) but we'll see if those get hung in the near future!  

Dresser Before:

Dresser After

We painted the room a medium grey, and replaced all the linens and pillows. We then painted the dresser and replaced the hardware. I found the knobs at Lowe's for under $1each - but they were gold.  So we sprayed them black to match the rest of the room. And last, but not least, we added the little lime lamp on the nightstand.  

My camera could not capture the colors of the room quite right, but the dresser and throw pillows are turquoise, the comforter is grey and white, and the coverlet is plum.  I'm kind of in love with it, and am so glad that Rob was on board from the start.  I had jokingly mentioned that I wanted to paint the dresser turquoise, and he didn't really respond - so I just figured I'd go with black.  Then I kind of made the joke again, this time with a link to a cool turquoise dresser I saw online, and he caved.  I think he's happy he caved.  I know I am!

So there it is!  Now what the heck am I going to hang over your heads to ensure you'll come and visit my blog again?  Any post requests?!


BDEM:  Getting my clothes back into the dresser.  All my clothes have been scattered for days on end, and being able to see the carpet again is fabulous.  I love a good, clean home.
