Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! We are celebrating our country's independence and also walking around our house saying happy 4th to each other because we have finally finished painting the 4th room in our house (which we blogged about here). We started with the living room, then painted guest bedroom #1, then our bedroom, and now guest bedroom #2. We are so happy to be done and also glad that we only have a few more rooms and hallways to paint before we are done with picking out paint colors and taping off windows. Here are some pictures of the finished room--now we just need to add more furniture, accesories, fabrics, and wall decor and we will be done!

This picture is taken from the doorway--the chair in the corner is waiting to be painted and recovered.

The bed was in the middle of the room pretty much throughout the paint project. We are very glad to have it set up again for guests. I found this quatrefoil bedspread at TJ Maxx several months ago for $39.99--can't beat it. And the shutters behind the bed will ultimately be painted and hung on the wall (and thus will look much taller for a more dramatic affect--they are resting on the floor right now). The room is going to be accented with mustard yellow and the fabric bolt in the corner is going to be used for curtains. I got 10 yards off of Fabric.com (a great online fabric site) for $6.48/yard.

Many more changes to come! But for now, we're just enjoying putting the paint cans away.
