Bedroom Before and After

Tada, the bedroom! The only thing left to do is paint the brown dresser black, and get some art up above the black dresser.  So what's new?  The bedding, and dresser, both from Jysk, the head and foot board were sort of my creation, I saw a homemade canopy bed on a blog and loved it, and decided to try and adapt it to our space.  I designed it and had my dad put it together.  I sanded, primed, painted and clear coated  it in our garage.  Learned a few things along the way.  What I thought would be a weekend project turned out to be a 2 week project, but I love the end result, and it was only 60$ worth of material, you can't beat that!  I bought a couple of pillows (the black ones) and sewed the teal ones (OK, my Mom helped, but I'm learning!)  I had envisioned a bench at the end of the bed, but I think that that may take up too much space, so I will leave it for now.  I'm going to paint over the canvases from our old room (in the before pic) and put them up over the dresser.  So once that's done, and the dresser refinished in black, with new hardware, we will have a winner :)
