Evolution of a Bedroom

Jason & I tackled a project this morning.  Before I unveil the big surprise, I thought it would be fun to walk through the evolution of our bedroom from the day we moved in until now.



When we first moved in.  All existing furniture from our lives as renters.  Don't you love the unproportional glass & metal coffee tables we were using as bedside tables?

 

First change - furniture upgrade.  New side tables, bookcase, & lamps.  I'm not sure why I thought Radar needed two beds in the bedroom at this point in time.   I guess that's why we call him Spoiled Wompkins.



Addition of a rug (formerly in the living room.)



New curtains.  After we bought and put these up, we were still unsure of how they looked, so one Saturday I drove all around town and found about 8 more possible options.  After trying each one out, we stuck with our first choice.

 

New bedding.  Finally getting rid of all the brown.



Our room today.  What's new?  Hint: Look up.



Lights off.


That's right.  Jason & I took down the ceiling fan and installed a new light fixture.  All by ourselves.  We're practically master electricians now.  Actually, we are just hoping we hard wired it correctly and safely.

Too bad our bed making skills haven't improved over the past year.  They are all half-hearted attempts at making the bed look half-way presentable before I took pictures.  But, it does look like the pictures have gotten better.  The new camera makes a big difference. 

Anyhow, doesn't the new light look nice?  Much better than the brass & laminate fan at least.  We never used the fan because of my allergies, so I thought a more modern fixture would look nice.  I'm pleased with the result.  It's starting to really look like a grown up bedroom vs. just leftovers from college.
