before and after shots of my new dressing room/guest room!

it is such a relief to have this room renovated. after 2 years of using it as a storage room and keeping the door closed all the time because it was so ugly, i finally have a guest room/dressing room that i'm proud of

Oh that really is a lovely room.

i'm a bit bored of that audrey canvas that you see everywhere, but i loved the framed prints and the paint colours. good job.

i know what you mean, i bought it a couple of years ago when it had just come out, and i've been waiting to put it up in the room. i basically bought it back then to design the room around it, so there's some sentimental value. :)

[clarithmetic]

ah, totally. i can see why you put it up if it set the tone that you wanted to have in the room. i'm sure i have some stuff in my house that everyone else thinks is boring. and i am so jealous of the relief you must feel at finally turning a junk room into a nice room!

What a difference! It looks fantastic. Congrats!

"..but also because there were sections of carpet padding glued to the hardwoods by years of a cat peeing in the same place."

o_o
EEW !! did the cat just pee directly on the floor ?!
that's just. disgusting. !

But what an amazing change ! I really love what you did, it's so pretty.

[swingchickie]

yep, there were pee stains all over the carpet underside when we ripped it up, which wasn't much of a surprise... i have a cat, and once in a great while he'll go outside the litter box (e.g. if he has a UTI and is in pain). but their cat must have liked that one spot and used it over and over, so it eventually soaked through the carpet and padding and onto the hardwoods underneath. ugh.

did you paint the audrey hepburn painting?

[swingchickie]

no, it's from ikea.
