Hello there lovies and Happy Friday! Don't you love a short work week? I'm so happy that the weekend is here again and the weather has finally (fingers crossed) made a turn for the warmer. I finally have some pictures from our Master Bedroom. Yes, I have been promising these for a while.  Yes, I have not lived up to my promises.  Don't hate me :( You know I always like to show a little bit of before, during and after. So, here's what the room looked like before we moved in: After we painted, ripped up the carpet and re-did the floors: A little furniture placement: ... and how we are looking now... and there we have it folks..

Still a work in progress, but now ...

Here are pics of our older boy-H's room (excuse the mess): Before  Now Here are some pics of our little boy, T's room:  Before Now (this is actually a light green, but appears more yellow in the sunlight) We decided to keep the carpeting in the rooms as the stripes are playful and good for a kid's room.  We already bought new ceiling fans for both rooms, so those should be up shortly. I decided to paint my dressing area in the same color as the living room in our apartment (Creamy Orange by Behr) because I wanted to ...
