At Last.....

Drum Roll Please.......!!!!!! At last the pictures of our new room. First let me say how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our new room. Thank you Erika for giving us your time and your amazing talent. The only thing bad about having our bedroom redone is now the rest of my house looks so shabby, alas, I guess I will just now have to do other rooms! To think all of this started with me asking if I should paint me bed black!!

So here they are, my room BEFORE:

I still cannot believe how ugly my room was. It looked SO old lady. YUCK! In my defense I have had that stuff for almost seven years.

Now for what we did:

-First we painted our room, which actually made our old stuff look 1000x better but I wasn't stopping there (even though Greg had the nerve to suggest that).
-Erika actually advised us against painting the bed and helped us find fabulous bedding! Our sheets are Vera Wang from Kohl's. The coverlet is Target and the duvet is also from Kohl's both thanks to Erika. The bedskirt I made with fabric from Erika. The blueish green pillows and throw are from Target.
-We painted the dresser to match my beautiful desk and replaced all of the old hardware. Finding hardware was a royal pain, evidently hardware sizes have changed a lot in the last 50 years. We did finally find suitable hardware at Joe Ley's in Louisville. What an awesome place!
-The mirror above the dresser is the original mirror, painted a harmmered gold and hung sideways.
-The lamp is a Target/thrift store find, thanks to Erika. The shade is from Martha Stewart at Kmart.
-The little birdie on the dresser was $3.00 at Joe Ley's!!
-The hand for my jewelry is from ebay.
-The jewelry box is from ZGallery, what an incredible place.
-The bedside tables were made by my dad. The skirts were made by Erika's seamstress. The glass we had cut at a glass store here in town. They are so incredibly functional and I love them. Under the skirts are three shelves and they are full of all of our junk!
-The pictures above my bed are the old frames from before painted a hammered gold and the pictures are from IKEA.
-The curtains are Nate Burkus for Linen's and Things. The Roman Shade is from Target as is the curtain rod and rings.

I am so in love with this room. Isn't it beautiful. (Erika I know you mentioned taking pictures in natural light, but we don't have a lot of that in our bedroom so we did the best we could) Erika I cannot thank you enough. There is a small token of our appreciation in the mail!! You rock and I know you will be super successful and a household name one day!
