Welcome again friends to Hayden's room. It's been a while since you've seen it, so I'll give you a little refresher course: You can take a look at old posts { here }, { here } and { here }.  First it looked like this: (These are pictures from our house tour before we bought the house.) Then the house became ours and it was time to change things up: Then we added a little paint: and started to fix the fireplace: Here's Hayden's bed with his Land of Nod bedding: I love the shades of blue with the pops of orange. One of the reasons hubby and I chose the name Hayden was because we were both fans of the Hayden Planetarium , located at the Museum of Natural History, when we were growing up.  This bedding was a no-brainer for our little star gazer.

Happy Wednesday! When we first saw our house the Master Bedroom looked like this: No complaints.  It was a good size and got a lot of light. Then it looked like this: We took out the carpet (it was a bit more worn than we originally thought it was.), repainted in a similar hue that had more grey than blue undertones and redid the floors.

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 ...
