Kid's Room (Almost) Reveal

Seems like ages since we started this project - ummm, that is because like everything in life these days we go slower then we used to.  I wasn't sure we could even pull it off, but we are just about there.

Here is, I mean was, our nice, lovely formal dining room (sorry couldn't find original and had to pull it off the blog so its blurry):

This is a picture of what it looked like most of the time.  We used it for meals about a twice a year and otherwise it was the junk room for all my piles, stacks, plans, projects, and rejects.  Seriously!!  All. The. Time.

Here is a picture of the inspiration for the new room:

And so a french country designed formal dining room becomes a fresh and fun kid's room.  There have been a lot of steps along the way.  Painting, moving furniture, buying furniture, moving more furniture, changing plans, waiting, cleaning. 

The room has looked like this (or something similar) for about 4 months as we slowly got things together.  Did I mention this room used to have carpet and we tore that out and put in the hardwood?  What a difference a floor makes??  So great!

A couple weeks ago we finally got the majority of furniture into the room and started pulling it together.

Then we got some buff family over here the help get this last (and crazy heavy) buffet out.

And replaced it with our new dresser and TV.

 This isn't the final reveal - family picture wall, cafe curtains and a few final touches to come, but we've broken it in with some movie nights and Just Dance with friends.

So far here is the before . . .

And the after . . .



Stay tuned for the final reveal!!!
