'fore and aft'

My sister has been doing a lot of work on her house and I just love what she's done to her bedroom. So I asked if I could do a blog post on her bedroom change. Since she, like me, enjoys taking photos, of course Lulu said "yes!" See "Metamorphasis Monday" to see other "before and afters."

Her old headboard was ready to be changed when she came across one in the trash. Painting it white transformed it. When we visited in February she asked what we thought of her new red spread. She was tired of a dust ruffle and wanted a straight forward bedspread. We voted thumbs up.

Sewing machine (newly painted white) moved across the room, replaced with bedside tables found at an antique store (along with dresser and chest of drawers) ...

New headboard in place, but still needed to paint plate holders and get new bedside lamps positioned. New picture placed over bed.

Repainted plate holders to match the darker bedside tables and picture over bed:

The final product is very soothing to the eye, don't you think?
