The Before shot:
After: (almost finished ~ Kevin informed me we would put up the molding next weekend. I guess since he has to work all weekend this weekend, I'll give him that break. hee-hee!) 
We made an accent wall of chocolate behind the bed and the other walls are a gold color. The best way to describe it is the back wall was like smearing hot fudge all over the wall and the other 3 are like butterscotch...yum! :-)

I got the new comforter and paint with my Christmas money from Kevin's Mom & Dad - so THANK YOU! And, this is our first compromise...Kevin & I have completely different tastes. I like ornate, he likes simple lines. I like dark colors, he likes light colors. I took some things out of the room that he suggested, and we actually agreed on the paint. Oh...and Mom, the actual name of the chocolate color is cowboy boots. I thought you'd appreciate that!
Nala gives it her stamp of approval. This bed is now fit for a queen!
I didn't take a before shot from this angle...and this one blurred. But you get the idea. I took down some greenery above the shelves on the entertainment center (aka dust traps). I have done some serious cleaning out over the break. There is going to be a big yard sale come Spring in our garage!!
And, finally, the molding that will go up next weekend. Well...I've procrastinated enough. I guess I'll go paint it!

Looks great Lori! Let me know when you guys are available to come paint my house.

wow it looks great, happy sleeping!
Looks wonderful! If you ever give up on the teaching thing, decorating will probably treat you right!
Pretty!! I have been doing some home improvement as well....or helping with it anyway.
That looks amazing!! Lovin' the brown and gold look. Romantic, expensive, and classy looking. I love when we do a big change it makes cleaning so much more fun for me.
Wow! Looks awesome. Reminds me of my favorite home shows--Sell This or Flip That, or Color . . . whatever. Regardless, you did it all without a camera crew and some design gurus--good for you!
