Here is what the room looked like before.
The room was quite hideous. This wallpaper, the wood trim and floors are really not my style. (No offense to my sister-in-law if she is reading for picking out these things.) You could see all of our clutter and there was no organization what so ever.
But all of that is gone now and here is what it looks like now.
Here are the doggy steps that allow the dogs to get up on the window seat. See this post about the window seat. The chevron toy box was made by my husband (tutorial coming soon).
I made this chandelier myself (tutorial coming soon).
Believe it or not these are fabric covered candles. A really simple project. I just cut left over chevron fabric the size of the candles and used Mod Podge to glue it to the candle. I don't burn my decorative candles so I thought that was a fine idea.Here is a source list if you are interested.
Wallpaper - Black and White Damask American Blinds
Trim Color - Dark Kettle Black in Satin from Lowe's
Door Color - Panama Rose in High Gloss from Lowe's
Floor - Mod Zebra II, Filigreed, Dashed Off Jailbird, Road to Damaskus (no longer available), Feelin' Groovy in Pink & Black from Flor.com
Furniture - 2 1x5 Expedits,
1 2x4 Expedit (we altered by taking the sides off and attaching to the 1x5 Expedits)
Malm Dresser2 Pax Wardrobes (19")
1 Pax Wardrobe (39")
4 Pax Ballstad Doors (Cut for crates see this post)
Accessories - Frames, vases and candlesticks Hobby Lobby

I know this style isn't for everyone. My husband thinks there are far to many prints in this room, but I really like it. I have unique style I guess. I hope you like it, but if not that is OK too. Your style probably isn't my thing either. That is the great thing about interior design.
1 room down 5 more to go. Until next time...
