Sweet Dreams

Bedrooms are a place where you can explore different colors and themes.  When we decided to start a family, I knew exactly what colors I wanted the nursery to be: green, chocolate brown, and white/cream.  This was going to happen regardless if it was a boy or girl.  I also have a love affair with tree artwork (don't ask me why, I just do).

Jaelyn's room was the smallest one in our house - only about 6 x 9 (if that), so placement of furniture and storage was extremely limited.

Baby Room Before - again, we installed laminate flooring  in this picture.

Baby Room after - to help with storage issues, we installed half of a closet system (tall shelf tower and two rods).  The Crib (bought off Kijiji) was to the right, and change table/dresser to the left.  Simple window treatments, paint and a wall decal helped make this room perfect for our little Jaelyn!

I absolutely love love love this color combination (we used Benjamin Moore Agave for the green).  I will be duplicating these colors in our current house!

GUEST BEDROOM

Guest Room before - yes, that is pink shag carpet to match the pink trim and pink blinds.  This room had the third fireplace with original tile.  Technically this probably is the 'master' bedroom, but we preferred to have our room on the back of the house (less noise).

Guest Room after - laminate flooring and paint pretty much brought this room to where it should have been!  We did have to do some repair work with the plaster on the ceiling.  For the bay window, I used three separate curtain rods and removed all the end finials except for the two on the outer edges (much cheaper than buying a bay window curtain rod!)

BEDROOM

Bedroom before - this room did have 80 year old fer mica tile flooring which we replaced with laminate, and bright green emerald trim on the baseboards.

Bedroom after - nothing much done here but paint.
