Before & After: 3rd Bedroom

BEFORE:



AFTER: (paint color is SW Meditative)





We moved from a 2-bedroom condo to a 3-bedroom house with plenty of room in the finished basement for 2 offices. So, we have absolutely no furniture in this room. We may take a twin bed that is not currently in use at my parents house and put it in here. We haven't quite figured it out yet. Otherwise, we may move one of our desks up here. When the carpets were replaced, they took the closet door off and we can't seem to get it back on. So, for now, it will hang out on the floor. Each of the bedrooms has one window that is much larger, which I love. My nieces seem to love it too since they can just walk right up to them and see outside. This large window overlooks the backyard and pool, which my niece Julia refers to as "blue tubby". There is Casey again in the doorway. He tends to follow me around like a puppy dog.

Before & After: Guest Room

BEFORE:
This was the one and only painted room in the whole house. You can't tell by looking at the photo, but it looked like the previous owners decided half-way through that painting just wasn't for them and gave up on a second coat. You can also see the old dark gray carpet in this photo.



AFTER: (paint color is Valspar Notre Dame)



We had purchased this paint when we were still at the condo and never got around to painting. So, we figured we'd use it in the new house. I almost wish it was a little darker. This room gets the most light in our house and it's a really good size for a secondary bedroom. Clearly, we still need to add a nightstand, some curtains and some COLOR. We also need to get a new closet door eventually as the current one is broken.
This is the first glimpse of our new carpet in a nice neutral beige color. I love the carpet...it is so soft and cushy. The bedding is from Target.
As you can see, our cats have decided they really like this room. That is Casey on the cat condo and Jacko in the window. They also love the new carpet and can be found stretched out on it in the sun spots.
