Working towards a room make-over

Hello everyone!

I have been pondering and brain storming the new theme for my bed room. I have wanted to redo it for a while now and now I am finally getting around to starting to gradually change it. The theme is light blue, blue, and navy and white. My inspiration was from these pillows and cushions my sister made for me for my birthday last year. We use them on our deck furniture in the summer and I use them on top of my hope chest for extra seating through out the year. Even my antique music and civil war hood are inspiring me to change the colors to blue, navy, and light blue! hehe! blue is everywhere, but the green walls are still here! I am not sure when I will be able to repaint yet. The furniture must go first. Right now I have the new desk that is my mothers that she is letting me use next to the old desk, until it is sold. But I love dark wood furniture and my hope chest and dresser are also dark wood. So the theme will be blues, white, and dark wood. It makes me happy! :) This is the other side of my room. I do not like it anymore. I am in the process of getting rid of this furniture. I have a nice regular bed and white head board in our garage that will replace this loft bed and a desk that will also replace the old desk.

The old furniture and I will post after pictures when I get my old bed back into my room.

You may be wondering what some things are that I have been up to lately. Well I have been in the process of selling some furniture that I don't like as much anymore and putting old furniture back into my room. Here is a picture of my room before I sold my chair and now I am in the process of selling my loft bed, desk, and filing cabinet. My mother is giving me her old desk and her old chair, which my sister and I are going to reaploster.

So the lounge chair in the corner underneath the loft bed was sold yesterday. Today I had some inquiries about the loft bed and filing cabinet. I am selling these furniture peices on craig's list. Its like a yard sale, except its on the internet. It has been so easy and I am pleased that the Lord has allowed me to change the sytle of my room. I have become a more traditional and girly person in the last 5 years. Contemporary in furniture does not describe my style anymore. So I am excited to change it.

I also found a blue and white lamp at the thrift store that goes well with the new theme I think. I never really had a theme and it always looked ver eclectic as my sister says. So now that I have colors and everything I can't wait to see it all come together.

I love the little delicate blue flowers painted on it! It was only $10.00 and it works better than the lamp that broke a few weeks ago I used to have.

You can also see the ugly green walls! I do not like it at all!!! So I will be changing the walls to my favorite color- light blue! I just finished my new curtains for the new room today. I love the way they turned out! And all the fabric for them was free! The white was curtains before that I cut up and then I put the blue floral on each end of the old curtains to go with the new blue theme. I love it! You can see the detail of the floral below. This was the theme for my 18th birthday party last year. My sister made a table cloth out of this fabric. Now I turned it into curtains.

So yes that is what I have been up to and I will give more updates when I finally move the old furniture out and the other bed in and get it painted. I am not sure when this will happen as I am waiting for the furniture to sell and our family is so busy. So have a great weekend and God bless! I hope I have inspired to make your homes a haven.

In Christ,

Rebecca
