Bedroom Makeover in Progress…

I fail at taking a before shot… but, what I did… taped off picture and painted the matt and frame American Accents Heirloom White. I also touched up the shelves to ensure they would match. I took a bargain spray from Home Interiors and added the light blue flowers and the bow… don’t love it, but it will have to do for now.

ps… Pay no attention to what is on the shelves… that too is a work in progress.

Here is a close up of the spray… It will work for now because it ties the quilt and the painting together nicely.

Here is the fountain the kids got me for Christmas last year. I love it! The base was black and for some reason our hard water made the paint bubble up… so I painted it with the indoor/outdoor Heirloom White as well. Then I added the cobalt blue and pearl white glass for a pop of color. I will have to wait to add water for a couple of days yet so that the paint has time to cure. I love how it turned out!

I shouldn’t even put this picture in, but it does show my lovely floor.  Is that dust… I think it is… hmmmm…. what can I say, I was working and got excited to take a few pictures… should have dust mopped first. Oh well, please ignore the lamp and ugly night stand also… oh, and the missing switch plate… still need to change all electrical outlets and switches over to white. The lamp is also a work in progress. I painted the brass a gloss white and painted the shade as well to make a nice clear surface for covering. The fabric that is draped over it will soon be a new shade cover and table scarves. We aren’t fast by any means, but it will eventually be complete.

And NOW… my BEFORE

I have two of these little lovelies! Brent and I got these as hand me downs from his mom and pop. I know they were part of their first bedroom set. So… I’m guessing they are going on 35+ years. Certainly dated… but I know they can be improved greatly with a little elbow grease some primer and about a dozen coats of paint. Hey, check out those handles… aren’t they just a scary sight. We’ll see what a coat of paint does for them. Oh, and funny thing. The two night stands have different handles. I wonder what’s up with that. Anywho, stay tuned for the after pictures.
