Before and After
Sorry I haven't posted these already.

Playroom transformation BEFORE:

AFTER: Since taking this picture I have filled the frames with my kids' pictures least you think I only hang old missionary pictures. hee he BTW the color on this wall is still the same as before, Avocado Green from Kelly Moore Paints, but due to the lighting the color is washed out.

Etsy is a wonderful place to find vinyl. I had a company custom make this branch for me.



BEFORE: The dresser of my youth. It was once painted green, then we striped it down and did a cherry stain on it about 17 years ago and then. . .




AFTER: We painted it baby blue with the most amazing milk paint EVER. Many people have asked me where to purchase milk paint and we bought it at Four Chairs in Lindon!!


BEFORE: This is the playroom in all its hand me down beauty. Hand me down t.v., console, etc. We had to ditch some of these items and came up with . . .


AFTER: After being utterly memorized by my neighbors curtains that she hung in her sweet baby room shown here, which she purchased from here, I made my mother help me make our cheaper version of them. Considering the hours and hours that it took to make the number of ruffles, I suggest that you just purchase them. I do like how they turned out though.

Since taking this picture we also ditched the flimsy metal rod and replaced it with a white wooden one.

The funny thing about redoing a room. . . I'm already wishing to change things up again.

Wow, I love it Shara. I especially love the bird cages and your cute ruffle curtains....I might have to copy you on that one! So so cute. I've been wanting to do a before and after of my bed room. I took the before photo a year ago...and it might take another year before I finally take my after photo!

It looks awesome! And just because you called the paint, 'milk paint', and not merely 'white', suddenly, I needed to paint something 'Milk'.
