Bedroom Transformation

Remember this post back in JUNE about picking new paint colors for our bedroom?  Well what started out as a simple paint job turned into an entire bedroom makeover!  Once the color was on the walls, I realized I hated my bedroom furniture.  So I proceeded to sand, prime, and paint each and every piece.  Once that was done, our bedskirt, sheets, and duvet were looking a little tired, so I had to replace them as well.  So now, three months later, I'm done!  And I could not be happier with the results.  I finally feel like Skip and I have a real master bedroom, for the first time in our married life.  It is warm, luxurious, and relaxing!  Now check out the transformation for yourself.
This is our bedroom when we first moved in




These are the before pictures, with the yellow paint color


Also, take note of the color of the dressers and night tables





And now the new grey bedroom!

I painted the wall behind our bed a darker grey than the rest of the room.


What do you think of the 'new' dressers?  It's amazing what a little pain can do!

    I LOVE it! Love love love it! I can't believe what a difference paint makes! It really makes me want to go start all over in my bedroom! And I can't believe that you transformed the way your bedroom looks so much and it's the same furniture! Definitely worth waiting for! You deserve serious props for doing all of that! I'm so jealous of how crafty you are!

    Very nice! Our guest bedroom is grey with the black furniture and red and white accents and it is one of my favorite rooms in the house. I love the color combination.

    It looks ok but would look better without the curtains tied up like that.

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
