Hi everyone!\u00a0 I have been working on editing pictures and writing some posts last week and over the weekend so I hope to have lots to share with you in the coming days.\u00a0 First I wanted to go back and finish off posting about rooms in our previous home.\u00a0 I want to compile before\/during\/after pictures and share pictures from the day we moved in and the day we moved out.\u00a0 Inspiration for me and I hope you too and a chance to preserve some memories too.\u00a0 And I will probably mix in some current things I am working on too if baby naps long enough for me to get those photographed and written! \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

This was our guest bedroom at the old house.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I ever shared a full shot of this room as I never felt like it was finished.\u00a0 But as I sit staring at rooms that aren\u2019t even started in our new house it sure looks pretty finished to me. \"Smile\"\u00a0 All about perspective.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the other side of the room with a peek into the closet.\u00a0 My nieces also used this room while they were here and the closet was used for toy and clothes storage.<\/p>\n

I had planned to eventually change out the light fixture with either a ceiling fan (because GA summer heat!) or possibly a pretty fixture but that didn\u2019t get done before we moved.<\/p>\n

I did do a lot in this room though in the last year we were in this house.\u00a0 It got completely repainted (the color is Gateway Gray by Behr Marquee), I painted my childhood dresser white<\/a>, found a metal headboard at a yard sale and painted it white<\/a>, and painted a yardsale nightstand.<\/a>\u00a0 I also found and added lots more thrifted and yard sale decor too like the white stool by the bed,<\/a> the $5 bench, and the $2 white metal piece over the window<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The mirror also got a makeover too.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed this room and it was a comfortable space to host guests which we did a few times a year.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1088\"<\/p>\n

The white bedding is from IKEA\u00a0and the pillows are all thrifted or yard sale finds.\u00a0 The white metal piece came from Kohls and I just love it!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1095\"\"DSC_1096\"\"DSC_1099\"<\/p>\n

I loved the gray and white and yellow together but that will probably change in our new house as the guest room situation will be completely different.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1102\"<\/p>\n

That cute little nightstand<\/a> was a part of my bedroom set of yard sale furniture but it didn\u2019t work in our room and was perfect size for this space.\u00a0 My spray painted thrift store brass lamps<\/a> got moved from my entryway when it was rearranged and used in here \u2013 still love those!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1105\"<\/p>\n

The closet in here was amazing!\u00a0 It was a small walk in closet so I used one side of it for clothes\/toys and storage and the corner got used as a reading nook and play area for my nieces and nephew.\u00a0 They loved playing in the closet. \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

So just for fun here\u2019s this room the day we closed on this house\u2026<\/p>\n

Sometime after we had lived there for a year or so and my first decorating attempt\u2026 (don\u2019t laugh \u2013 I blame it on the lack of Pinterest \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"10400443_118921868726_4753172_n\"<\/p>\n

And the final after.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_1087\"<\/p>\n

And then the day we moved, I took pictures of all the empty rooms.\u00a0 Even the empty after looks better than the before. \"Smile\"<\/p>\n

I am missing my previous home but also looking forward to getting this current house worked on so that it feels more like home to us. \u00a0A post on another room in our last house coming on Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
