Well OK...maybe not the last.....but I never did post the whole room. You can read about the UMCH here. The talented Christina Wedge took some awesome professional shots but I don't have access to them yet. Erika is working on the E-Zine which will have all the pictures, paint colors, and the designers inspiration.
Soon.
Here are a few more before and afters of my space.
If you remember I was thinking about taking this long cabinet out but there was no flooring underneath.....So I replaced the countertop.Remember those stools I got a Scott's? The lamp was from Target [not the shade] The EXPLORE letters came from World Market, along with the 2 baskets. Clock is from Ikea.
If you can see, I found some old maps and license plates. I also had that oil painting I had bought at a flea market.
Before of the TV wall.
I found the dresser at Olivia Morgan Flea Market. You know the vases are from the Nate Berkus collection. I had the chair in my basement forever....like 10 years. The prints came from the 10.00 table at Scott's and the frames from Michaels [during a 50% off sale]. I also had the pillow. Duh....
The sunburst mirror was a find at Homegoods. Best Buy really came through on the TV....46" LED for 250.00 and they threw in the mount. It was an open box and did have a few scratches on it.
Here is a closeup of the Expedit shelving from Ikea in the new glossy gray. Those encyclopedias were already there so I used them. All of the other old books came from a flea market. Most of the small artifacts I had around the house. I did buy that one little ram head from Target.
More books that were already there.
One last shot of the whole room before...
And after.
Now...I don't know if you remember or not but there was a bathroom.
It was pretty much used as a storage room. Yuk. I put on my hazmat suit [sorry about the open seat] and cleaned that sucker.
Yes I did.
Sad to say that I had to go really cheap and cheerful with this space....and pretty much did the whole thing on Thursday [the rooms had to be done on Friday].
I slapped up a few stripes.
Added a few rugs from Target. A mirror from Ikea.....there was NO overhead light in this room, so I just got a plug in one from Ikea and added the little thingy from Home Depot where you can turn it off and on with a switch. Genius.
Also painted an accent wall and had this piece of slate in my stash from Scott's.
Oh yeah...one more thing.
This is the bathroom and shower area. My friend Jan stepped up and dressed it up a little.
Just a few little touches.....
I could not have done it with out all the help from many of you who donated....over the internet even! Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams [sofa and 2 chairs], Castle Painting, Oak Street Electrical, Myers Carpet , Private Bank of Decatur and all the time and energy Jan and Patty gave me.
I have a bedroom install tomorrow....so excited. Hope they will let me post some pictures :)
Chill out....it's Sunday people!
