After:
Surely you remember what the furniture looked like before. Isn't it amazing what white paint and new hardware can do??
I'm 98% pleased with how everything turned out. Still on my to-do list:
-Make a decision on the "headboard situation." I've never not had a headboard. Even on purpose, it feels strange. I'm thinking about making my own... I've heard it's not that hard to do. I'm thinking creamy white linen; yes?
-Get a new bed skirt. One with cleaner lines and heavier fabric that will hang straighter. And perhaps an off-white one instead of bright white.
-Re-paint the stripes. I much prefer the subtle look of the hallway over the "LOOK AT ME! I'M A STRIPE!" appearance you see here. It shouldn't be hard; I just need to do it!
-Get rid of the clunky TV. Just kidding. It says. But I wish it wasn't there!
Thanks, Alicia, for taking pictures! Now go have that baby, ok?
So... what do you think?

Beth, Beth, Beth! It looks amazing! I need to come over and peruse your home just for the sheer fun of it. = ). May I?
I love your idea for a headboard...one time we got two HUGE canvases and painted stripes on them, put them together and voila! a headboard.
Laurin,
I would love to have you over!
I would also love to see a picture of that striped headboard -- sounds so fun!
HOLY COW! It's amazing!
The dressers look great with the white paint, I love the mirror, and the nightstand and its accessories are my absolute favorite part! :)
FINALLY!! :) Just kidding.
But really, I love the room! I also have a lamp on books on my bedside table -- even Isaac likes it!
As for the bed skirt, I actually have a fairly high bed, and I just bought a fitted sheet and put it over the box spring in lieu of a skirt. I really like the way it looks, and it makes sweeping under the bed so much easier!
This looks so great. You must love going to bed every night and waking up each morning!! :o)
GREAT job!
oh good. i need to plan a time to come = ). well the headboard is now painted a different color and the two canvases have become two paintings in our room.
Say something...
