Finally some pictures of our renovated rooms...

It was really hard work renovating Kaitlin and Nathan's bedroom, their bathroom and our bedroom...but oh so worth it. We took out the old and disgusting carpet and put beautiful hard wood floors in both rooms and we painted as well. We purchased all the furniture from Ikea, even the rug. My favorite part of the whole room is the awesome wall unit which holds pretty much everything.

As usual the prep work took so much longer than the actual painting...lol...but I was just so happy not to have "white walls" anymore. We haven't hung any pictures back up on the walls yet but here are a few pictures to share of our hard work.

First the kids room!


And here is a "before" picture of our bedroom...yuck!!! The carpet was awful...stains...stains and more stains. We were so frekin happy to get rid of it.










Here are pictures of what our bedroom looks like now. We didn't have to purchase any new funiture for our room...Thank God. But we will eventually buy a new shelf to match with the rest of the furniture for our candles in the next few months. By the way, you will notice two different colors on the walls (Phil wanted one wall to have an accent color). At first I said "you want what" but I trusted my creative and very talented hubby and I have to say that it looks pretty "cool". Again we haven't had any time to hang any pictures but as soon as we do that - I'm sure the room will look much better.




Phil and I will finally have a bedroom that we can call our very own and have it exactly how we want it...yeesh how long did it take...lol.
