I looked for some "before" photos - but didn't find any. I think that Beloved may have taken some before he started the project, so they may be forthcoming.

We still have quite a few details to work out. Today, we purchased a new bed covering for Thing One. (Hers is the brown bed.) Aww, heck, here's a photo of the new bed clothes:

We also chose a bed covering for Thing Two - which is from IKEA and is full of orange spots:

See the large empty white space (wall) above the headboard when the bed is open? We're going to do something with that space. I'm told that the girls already picked themes for the murals that are slated to go there.

We will also get curtains, and are putting up a shelf above the window for overflow books (which are presently all over the house). We are also going to get a large rug. they didn't have this much open space in the past, so their rug was 3x5. Now we need an 8x10.

We ordered lockers for them, which will hold their bike helmets, baseballs, bats, gloves, a random basketbal, and other assorted locker-type things.

They will be able to decorate the walls as they wish.

Slowly but surely, things are coming together.

But they're not together yet. So when Thing One brought 2 friends and one mother into the house to show off her new room, I was less than thrilled. Fortunately, she was impressed enough with the new editions that I don't think she thought much of the boxes still stacked up, the bags filled with school supplies all over the house, or the little organizing bins with price tags still on sitting in the middle of the hallway.

It's really been quite fun.
