Bedroom "Before & After"

Over the last 6 months (!) that we've lived in our house, we've slowly been transforming our bedroom. We've done enough now that I think it's done. For now.

The bedroom we sleep in isn't actually the official master bedroom; that one's downstairs, but we both prefer to sleep upstairs. So the master bedroom is currently the computer room, and one of the secondary bedrooms is where we choose to lay our heads at night.

Here's how it looked when we moved in:

Pale blue walls.
Pale blue closets.
Dark blue carpet.
Dark blue curtains (not shown).

Since then, we've:
  • painted
  • replaced the carpet
  • lugged our 1/2 ton bed up the stairs
  • installed a ceiling fan (We actually did this all by ourselves! Well, mostly it was Gus, but still....)
  • bought bedside shelves
  • bought new lamps
  • hung light-blocking drapes
  • hung some of our art - the rest is waiting for me to remember to do it
Here it is now!
