I have finally finished a few of the outstanding details in Amelia’s room and took pictures of the transformation.
Here are the before pictures…just after cleaning out the room. Yep, nice boring shade of builder beige like the rest of the house.
And here are the after pictures. Amelia told us she wanted purple and that’s what she got!
My mom rocks and helped me by painting her nightstand which was mine as a child and my mom’s before that. It has seen MANY coats of paint over the years. She also helped by priming/finishing some of the accents on the walls…the little bird hooks, the heart and the valance over the bed. I bought a lot of the accents on sale and with coupons so I spent very little on them and instead put the money into the furniture and linens.
For example: The birdhouses and birch branch cost under $30 to create and all of the items came from Hobby Lobby and Michael’s (ie: I got to use coupons). It was a matter of priming, painting and accenting them to coordinate with the other items in Amelia’s room.
Just before Juliet was born we started working on a bookcase for Amelia’s room. We didn’t have enough time to finish it, but as soon as it’s done we’ll post pictures. It’s going to be so cute!
I had a lot of fun working on Amelia’s room and look forward to making some changes to her old room to make it perfect for Juliet…stay tuned for those pictures.
