Repainting the Big Bedroom

It's taken us a little over a year but...

 ...we have finally finished repainting and decorating the big bedroom upstairs.  It is now a fit habitat for two pink loving little girls.  Here are the before and after pics:

 

 BEFORE:

Note the jungle green wall color.  The previous owner of the home had 3 boys. 

 

We believe the previous owner also intended to replace the small baseboards with larger ones but never got around to it.  Hence the unfinished lines of paint.

 

Pinks 2 & 3 help clear out the furniture.

 

 

The first step was to use two coats of primer to cover the green, then lay on a pretty buttercream yellow hue.

 

Next on the list was doing something about the brown blinds.  Purchasing new ones wasn't in the budget so I spray painted the old ones a nice bright white color instead.

 

 

 

Jay installed and painted new 6" baseboards, then fixed the holes in the doors and did touch up paint work.  Meanwhile, I sewed new valances for the windows, got Pink #1's blessing dress framed, purchased matching pink bed linens, and made a new set of pin boards from old frames, fabric scraps and cork board.  The final touch was adding two headboards and a nightstand (all found on craigslist) to the wicker furniture set we inherited from my parents.  It was a lot of work but we couldn't be more pleased with the results. 

 

AFTER:

The 6" baseboards look so much better than the small ones.
