Our Bedroom: Before + After {finally}

Since everyone else is posting about Halloween, 

I thought I'd share something different.

{actually, I don't have time to recap and write about Halloween + 

our October activities and would much rather do a post with mostly pictures.}

I'm excited to share a peek of this room with you. 

It's a small room and incredibly difficult to photograph so bear with me.  

I also got a new fancy pants camera {that I have no business using} for my bday {thanks, Dad} 

and I'm still learning how to make it work {no auto setting on this one!!}.   Anyways....

My bedroom is absolutely my favorite room {now} in our home. 

 It is about 95% complete, but the final touches might take a while...still searching for a pretty antique desk chair, an antique side table for the other nightstand, the perfect hardware for our long dresser, and a few odds and ends, but if I wait for all that it may be another year 

before I get to share it with you....

I was lucky to work, shop, consult (not sure what I should call what we did) 

with Holly Mathis again on this room.  Basically, Holly made my room beautiful. Period.

It was even more fun working (er, designing) together the second time around.  

She is now a dear friend and knows my taste better than I do.  

She tends to be overly modest about her talents, which is what makes her endearing to work with, 

but that girl knows how to pull it together!  She is amazing...Take a look...

{Before}

 

{After}

{If you look close you can see the drapes and the arched ceiling.  

This is the best I could do, way too bright out to get a picture of the windows.  sorry.}

I'll be happy to post sources if there are questions.  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
