First Before/After - Girls bedroom

It is so fun for me to look back on the blog and see what all has changed in our lives; this really is like my online scrapbook.  I wish I could scrapbook much more than I do....but I'd have to either ship off my kids somewhere or hire a full time nanny!  No thanks, I'll just spend time making memories with my kiddos and throw pictures up on my blog :)

I decided to do a bunch of before and afters with our house!  Often times Alec and I get stuck looking at all the projects we still 'need' to do (they are wants, not needs) and forget to enjoy the projects we have completed!

In general this house was completely and utterly stuck in the '90s from top to bottom!  Nothing wrong with the 90s.....a lot of good things came from the 90s!  My mother-in-law and I were joking that this was a '90s museum, I should have charged a touring fee.....would have helped pay for some of the updates!  Many of the before and afters we still have things that need to be done, but we will get there over time!  And besides, if Alec doesn't have a project he would literally go insane.  I have completely resigned to the fact there will always be projects going on.

BEFORE

AFTER

New carpet, paint, new window treatments, and new decor!  Makes a huge difference!  We still need to replace the two windows in this room at some point, and soon, they are in pretty bad shape.  And as you can tell I didn't do anything in the bathroom....that will be a big project someday.  We don't hardly use that bathroom though, so not a lot of motivation to spend tons of money there!
