makeovers are good

Well, I haven't blogged in quite awhile...sorry!!! Lots to talk about but little time to blog it. Anyway, when mom and dad and Brian were away to Hawaii a couple weeks ago, Stacy and I decided to redo mom and dad's bedroom. We have been planning this for a couple months (since mom's 60th birthday) and dad even knew about it.

We got started only a couple hours after they had left and were able to completely change their room in less than a week. We had SO MUCH FUN doing it too. AND BOY DID IT NEED IT!!! I took many before and after pics of the room just to demonstrate the dramatic changes. :) As you will see in the pics below, mom was very surprised and pleased although I think she somewhat had it figured it out. oh well!!

Here are a few pics of the bedroom before. Yikes.......... As you can see there are a multitude of colors/patterns/pictures/flowers/etc. ugh. And as for the pyramidial picture pattern....it had to go along with the "poofy" tissue paper stuffed valances. :)

As for the "after" pics...... looks much more like a bedroom and less like an office/bedroom nightmare.....

And luckily, mom loved it. (sorry mom I know you hate this pic) :)
