Before & After

I've had this collection of frames, many from Granny Liz's house, sitting in my closet for months and I was finally able to give them the facelift I had been envisioning. They started like this:
And after a little spray-paint look like this!!
They could use some touch ups, but chances are they'll never get any and better yet chances are you won't be in my bedroom examining them anytime soon. :)

After much arranging and rearranging they are hanging over our bed. I've slowly been trying to transform our room from a lifeless catchall to a little more inviting space. I got a bedskirt several moths ago and new lampshades for my birthday so little by little.

These two display models are my favorite part of any space. They require a little more love than spray-paint can offer, but I'm up for the challenge.

GIIIRRRLLL!!!! That is A-mazing! I love it! Beautiful!! Looks like it could be in a magazine! Seriously...love it and go tell Anthro that you deserve a job there for you design skills! What a fun retreat for you to go to your bedroom. They say that should be your favorite room in the house. Check!

And that little man with the haircut is a cutie. Looks like he didn't mind a bit.

I love it, Caryn, I love it! Just love the white contrast on the dark brown walls. And way to be resourceful! :)

You and Kaki - my creative juices. Looks great - all about the spray paint on anything these days. I too have been giving my room a face lift. Can't wait to see the new-do on Wyatt, that snaggle-toothed grinner!
