A Two-room update

As promised, here is the progress on the girls' room. I put together a little wall collage, which includes a doll that I had hanging in my room when I was a child, a ceramic puppy that oldest daughter painted at a birthday party, a silhouette of the Salt Lake Temple, the girls' feather collection, and a picture of the two cuties themselves.  The lamp was given to me by my voice teacher when I was a teenager. I plan to redo the top of the dresser to match the stain of the bunk beds...eventually. Oh, and they still don't have a door knob. :( Their room is painted a very, very light pink.

 These pictures come from a copy of one of my favorite books as a child, "Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the New Dotted Dresses".

                                                                  It is hard to tell unless you are in the room in person, but I applied a stencil to this back wall and sewed some fabric to the end of these Target curtains. (Update: I have since painted the baseboards white, and the outlets were replaced).

 This beautiful rug was made by my very talented sister, and she gave it to me as a birthday present this year.  I think it looks so good in the girls' room!  My sister has more rugs for sale at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/socuteandfumps?ref=search_shop_redirect.

Room Number Two:

If you remember, I showed this picture of the family room awhile back.

Here is what it looks like today.

 We painted it a light gray, added new base boards, crown molding, window molding, a rug, and a window treatment. I ordered this fabric from Fabricguru.com and sewed them.  I still need to redo the coffee table, but other then that, this room is done!

 This green chest holds all of the boys' cars and trucks and it is perfect for them to get into while I am making dinner. Oldest used my little button pins on the cork board to make a smiley face. It is painted with chalkboard paint, so the kids can draw on it as well.

 This old crate holds the kids' collection of marbles, and rocks and shells from the beach and it sits atop the toy/book shelf. I also finally found a little place to hang our growth chart. The kids all have measurement marks on it and love to check how much they are growing. (Oops: Still need a switch plate for this light switch. The switch is so old and gross, but we can't remove/replace it, like we have been doing to all the others, because there is a mirror (painted over) that covers part of it. What to do? Just paint it too?).

 Next up, a reveal of an almost done kitchen. Here is what it looked like when we moved in. So lovely, I know. :) Half-painted brick and sub-floor.
