So Close to Finished

Let's remember where we came from, shall we? This was Jo's room in August. Such a proud moment for me.

Now that you have all thrown up in your mouths....lets look at some after pictures. The purple paint was easier to cover than I thought it would be. Covering the gray with the yellow however was a nightmare!!

If you are my facebook friend you will know that I disassembled that queen size captains bed, carried it downstairs and set it up ALL BY MYSELF. Yes...rock star moment. That sucker is HEAVY. The drawers weren't too bad, but the headboard was another thing. I may or may not have been pinned against the wall by the headboard for a few minutes. But that is another story for another day. 

I am so excited to have this room mostly finished. Now I will just keep my eyes open for the finishing touches....and figure out how to get my Mom's cedar chest to my house. I found the bedding on sale at Kohl's. Happy dance ensued. I bought the curtains from a lovely gal on etsy. She is a genius.

I have a few things I would like to do to the room. A cute little chandelier would make me swoon here. I am also on the hunt for something to go over the dresser. 

Hobby Lobby will have some things for super cheap after the holidays. Just have to see if I can be patient until then.

I made a pillow cover from a tutorial I found on Pinterest. Now I just need to make a few more. I loved how easy it was. 
So, that is our new guest room. Wouldn't you LOVE to come visit me now??
