And just so you can get the full effect of this transformation, here's a "before" for you.
And again, an "after." Ahh....much better.
Yeah, that red sort of worked for a while, like glue holding together an otherwise hodge-podged space, but I'm not really missing it at all.
I'm still working on the mantel and the corner to the left of it. I don't think I'm going to keep that chair there, but for now, it's staying. I'm also going to hang the two scripture posters I made on that wall to balance out the armoire on the right.There's just something so satisfying for me in creating a home. I think I'm a happier person when I can enjoy the space I'm living in. But aren't we all?
The new color on the walls is very soothing. I like it. And I love the gallery wall!
ReplyDeletethe room is looking so great! i SO love the satisfaction that comes from completing projects.
ReplyDeleteWow. I love it--well done, my girl! I'm impressed. Wish I could throw a little paint on these boring white walls. Renting definitely has its downsides!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation! My question is, what happened to the armoire in the first picture? I love it--it would look so great painted. Do you still have it?
ReplyDeletewow...that is amazing. GREAT job!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! You all are sweet.
ReplyDeleteMirien, I actually sold it on Craigslist as part of a bedroom set so I could then buy the new one on Craigslist. I thought it was funny how about 90% of the response on the bedroom set came from Indian families. I also think it would have been cool painted, but I think it found the right home where it could be appreciated as is. :)
