Before: Smurf blue walls, towering pile of toys that never got played with, bedding I'd had since sophomore year of college.
What we did:
- Painted the walls with Behr's paint and primer in one, a color called "Pismo Dunes."
- Removed the shelves we weren't using.
- Framed a bunch of pretty pictures from Key West, plus a couple of Tessa and made a little photo gallery. (All frames are from IKEA.)
- Bought new bedding from House 8810. Pretty sure this was my bargain of the decade: The pretty graphic sheets were only $15 (no longer on the site) and the yellow quilt was $25 (here). I ordered one of these quilts for our bed upstairs, too. The deal was just too great, and the quality is super nice.
- Moved all the toys upstairs to Tessa's room.
Still wanted: Adorable lamp and rug, a beat-up door to lean against the wall opposite the bed and time to finish my Giant Vintage Star Quilt.
