The Big Reveal

So, I am really excited to reveal my new room. I apologize in advance for all the pictures. One there may be some repeats I tried deleting them and just couldn't and two I didn't want to leave any thing out...




If you recall the beautiful sweet precious Baby Layla Nursery before pictureTo the grown up sophisticated Stephany room. I really liked the green so I kept it and darkened the molding to an antique white instead of bright white. I wallpapered the top in a french country pattern. Replaced the ceiling fan/light.
I kept the chair from the nursery It is so comfortable, I just need to get an ottoman so that I can sit and read in here. I also kept the lamp but I painted the flowers brighter shades of pink. My mom always called me her Joy so I saw this and had to put this in here.I bought this table at the thrift store it was a plain oak table. You cant see well it but I painted it antique white, crackled it, beat it up, made a skirt out of this gorgeous fabric I got on eBay. I am in love with it... You can click on picture to see closer look of table.

Some of my buttons and such...

This is the reason I had to have the carpet replaced. Well I am the real reason but this is what I was painting. Why I didn't paint it in the garage is still a mystery to me, not to mention Tim


I love this mini chandelier (another eBay find from Murfreesboro ironically)... You cant see all the details but it is gorgeous...
Just thought I would share a frame Tim bought me... I love my babies...
This was such a cathartic process to go through, I had mixed emotions throughout each day and still continue to. It was so hard to paper over the pink, yet as I saw each black flower come to life I would get excited to see the new possibilities. I kept the closet pink until yesterday. I hadn't planed on it after all I love pink. but every time I opened the door I saw Layla and the past not the here and now. I am just trying every day to concentrate on what I do have in my life. I am blessed even without a child of my own... I say that only half meaning it... Oh what is wrong with me...
Anyway, here is my new craft/office/me room... This is where I will be every time I write to you or post my blogs. I hope you like it.

Beautiful room! You should come decorate my house for me. LOL.

I'm sure it was hard to say goodbye to the last remnants of the baby's room. Soon enough you'll have lots of grwat memories of the new room too.
