Pictures of My Room

I'm DONE! Dan said it looks pretty much the same, but when forced (and believe me I forced), he could tell the problems I fixed and agreed it looks much better...even though it's the same color. Good Dan!

I'm super thrilled with it. Before, the walls were semi-gloss so you could see every imperfection. The previous owners used big anchors EVERYWHERE so all the places I removed the anchors and patched could be seen. The patches have actually been glaring at me just daring me to fix them. They painted on the ceiling and the baseboards and I truly don't believe the baseboards had been cleaned for years. I know...I've tried and couldn't get all the built up dirt and dog hair. It's so pretty now. There's a crisp line between the moldings, ceiling and walls. The walls are flat so you can't see every little thing. The moldings are clean and white and will be so easy to maintain. (I've already decided my next project - after the grout - will be to repaint all the trim in the house). Sorry, no before pictures, but take my word for it, it looked horrible and dirty.

I'm on the hunt for a new quilt because mine is in bad shape with rips and wear. I've actually bought 2 and returned them. The hunt continues....


So, you can see the lengths I had to go to...check out that ledge. It's really high and I had to crawl all over it.
The color is way off in this picture, obviously. I love the color. It's Behr Butter Cookie - sounds good enough to eat or lick maybe!

I had these pictures over my bed, but moved them to the hall to add the wall words above the bed. I love them in the hall. It's been so empty.

  1. It looks great!!! I love the wall words too. Have you looked online at JC Penney's for quilts? I bought ours there and love it.

  2. Kelly, Can I have your old breadspread when you get a new one. I really like it and your room is beautiful. Maybe you can do some painting at my house at Christmas. Mom
