That's all I have saved on my computer. A little background, I renovated 6 months before moving in 4 years ago. This is the 2nd floor of the building. Still have projects left to do, lol. One day they'll get done.

I recently redecorated my 12 year old niece's bedroom for her birthday as a surprise. "While You Were Out" inspired the idea. I found all of the accesories at discount stores/on sale and at garage sales. The drapes are from the Martha Stewart collection and were $20 for the pair. The colour palette was pink (her favorite colour)with turquoise accents. We found the oak dresser already painted the colour we needed at a garage sale for $40.

Forgot to add that her cousins (ages 3-6) got together to paint the community painting above the dresser. All in all it turned out well and my niece LOVED the whole room!

Just a question, I have been thinking about doing the front of the bar in that stuff grass skirts are made of. I don't know what it's called but you see it on the front of many tropical bars. Do you think that would be too much? My husband says "now you're getting ready to gaudy it up". LOL

I think it would be fine, cuz you have the white chairs in front of the white -- so the grass skirts would look good (not too much.)

Plus they'd be easy enough to take down if you wanted...

I'm getting eager to find out about our new home. I know I won't have much to decorate at first--mostly my room. It has a bay window and a sky light.

I have dug up instructions on making a window seat...or course, the windows overlook the front of the house (southern exposure), so it may call for floating glass shelves and lots of plants and colored bottles to ensure some privacy without blocking all the light.

Any other ideas? All I know so far is that the carpet is a forest green. I plan on doing crafts, reading, and doing home office work in there. I have my new balance ball chair, and some white furniture (changing table and chifferobe) and white shelves.

Closing is ostensibly on Tuesday. As soon as Mom takes the pictures, develops them, sends them to me, and I can get them scanned, I'll get them posted.

I'm going to ask her to see if wherever she gets them if there's like a website or something that they can be posted at. It will take her forever to get them to me...
