Before and After: Bedroom

There has been so much going on with the floors/remodel these last few weeks. Who can forget the closet transformation? Well, yesterday we finally got the carpet in the downstairs bedroom, which is Headless Girl's room/guest room. (She's mostly in the dorms now, remember?)

Before:

( I know you're jealous of the cement. Don't hate.)

Do you see the desk there along the right of the picture? That is my old bedroom set from when I was a little girl. I think my parents bought it around 1970? The bed is long gone, given to a young girl back in the 80's after I hadn't used it in a decade, but this desk and matching dresser have been with me since the beginning, and moved all over the country, and it's still in pretty good shape. Sure it could probably use a makeover, but all in all it's strong and sturdy and will last a few more decades, I'm sure.
After:


We held out until we found the softest, thickest carpet that we could. Pricey, but it's SO worth it. You can even feel how thick and cushy it is with your shoes on.






Yes, that's my wine glass on the dresser. I deserved it, y'all.


And yes, Mom and Dad, it's all ready for your visit!!!!
