Here are the "befores" of The Girl's room, along with my plans so far:
Repaint the room a soft plum or soft green. Empty the shelves a bit, new sheets in plum, put the bed elevators back under the bed to gain a little more storage room, remove dust ruffle, replace lamp.
Remove valance, sew curtains, get rid of the cheapie bookcase?
The clock, bulletin board, and memo board all go, but I think I can scrape the fake jewels off the bulletin board and repaint it. The top of the desk will be refinished and the stuff on the top of it will be filed. Re-hang all the photos that are currently hanging.
I know she did not love the yellow walls the last 3 years or so - soon they will be a soothing shade that goes with the curtains and bedding. And this room will look like it belongs to a college student!
Maybe next week I will pop over to Home Depot to get the paint sample cards, then to JoAnn to get the fabric swatches. The actual redecorating will have to wait tile the girl leaves for college, so I have plenty of time to lay my plans. Suggestions?
