Before and After

I love to look at before and after shots of any makeover and now I have my own. I have to admit that I am quite embarassed by the before shots though. My bedroom was somewhat put together before we got a new bed. When you go from a queen size bed to a king it is like starting from scratch. So that is what happened. So these before shots are of a pitiful bedroom with nothing that matches, the pictures are off center and it is just all in all SAD. So, I had a great idea to build a headboard. And if you are going to build a headboard why not add bookshelves. My trusting husband let me plan this all out and spend money on all the supplies not really knowing what I had in mind.....I am glad he trusts me. We had a few moments when we were building that this could look pretty bad but it all came together and I just want to hang out in my room all the time now. He thinks it is a good reason to get that flat screen he has been wanting....we all know that is what he is thinking about when I say spend more time in the bedroom hu? Maybe that is more then you want to think about....oh well on to the pictures. Remember, I know the befores are sad but hopefully that makes the after look better.

The only king size blanket we had....


A really pitiful nightstand....



And Ta Da....we have a headboard and bookshelves.


Yeah for a put together matching bedroom.


We put up some trim that added some nice detail.


I just love building stuff....now on to the next project.
