Serenity Now!

Shari came to us with a storage dilemma.  She had just given away the roll top desk that she used to store her sewing machine and supplies.  Everything that used to be in the desk needed a new home.  She was also trying to decide if she needed new bedroom furniture.  It was functional, but she was a little tired of it.  She figured it was a good time to do a little refreshing.   But should she get rid of the furniture and buy all new??  Nope ...  we found the best solution!

The beautiful upholstered headboard is from Pier One.  We used it as the starting point of this room.  It broke up the bedroom set and made it much more interesting!

 We decided to keep the dresser and nightstands and try painting it.  

Amazing results!  We love the gray in the room.  This dresser looks better than new.  Thanks Nathan!

Here's where the desk used to be.

We replaced it with a great bookshelf.  The sewing machine went to a nearby room.  We wanted to keep this room serene and work-free!

She loved her reading corner.
 We just painted her bookshelf and added a cool new lamp.

New lamps and pictures add a touch of glam.

The print was meant for the wall above the bed,
but the headboard stood
a little taller than we anticipated.
We actually love it over the dresser.

The headboard is pretty enough to stand alone on the wall!

 Thanks Shari!  Enjoy your room and tell your husband we are sorry about all the pillows!

Do you have some old furniture that you are thinking of throwing out?  Think again!  We know someone who can help you too!
