The room IS the view!

What do you get for a guy who wants nothing?
A new bedroom, of course.

Our Christmas gift to one another was to re-do our bedroom-- and it took a few months to get it done.
So with no further ado--
Merry Christmas!


Before-- Dark walls and no trim. (No curtains or blinds, either. This made the overnight stretches less than fun. We had an elaborate system of pinning up blankets to achieve a dark bedroom)

Our goal was to lighten the room up, so it felt open and airy. We wanted a peaceful retreat.

Adding trim--

AH- now those windows look nice!

Then we got all fancy and added some board and batten.

Then we painted!! And got some furniture and blinds. And re-arranged.


And AFTER--

 The shelves still need some stuffs....

A happy corner to read a book!

 That bed!

 The other happy corner-- good for book reading, chart doing, kid avoiding......

 This little face loves it (because she can now climb up and down our bed)  But all the kids are fond of popping in and snuggling into the blankets and pillows. We'll call it a success!
