Getting There

We've been working on updating our bedroom for awhile now.  I had a little extra money to get some new furniture  and bedding and make this room look more like an HGTV lookalike.

Here are a few before shots:

BORING!  

And the after shots:
Fun and hip!
We still need a few things - bigger lamps for the nightstands and some accessories, but that will come in time.  Little by little!  I actually repainted the blue wall just last night to a lighter, more icy shade.  It's similar to the throw and the big pillows.  It is JUST what I was thinking of when I dreamed up this whole vision.  So this isn't it exactly.  When it's all the way done, I'll have to take new pictures.  And then I'll even show you the new dresser when it has been cleared off of all tools and giant TVs that don't belong.

For now, it's a little improvement, don't you think?

The room looks beautiful! I love the colors.

But isn't painting while pregnant a big "no no?"
