It's Finished!

Well, it's done. All the hard work payed off! I thankfully had lots of help. My first thanks is to Shauna for starting this crazy idea and doing all the carpentry work, then to Ryan C. for his awesome power tools. It was empowering to use the nail gun, I didn't dare try the saw. And last but not least to Shalynn for giving me MANY hours of painting help.
I love having a new look to my room, but now I'm feeling the need to paint the furniture to give it some dark tones. I do miss my old color (I couldn't find some before pictures) since it was darker, but maybe a change in bedding will do the trick.

LOVE the look! The molding turned out great. I think new bedding would go a long way in making you feel more like it's "done". Plus, it's less labor intensive than painting your furniture...

Great work! I looks wonderful! How great that you did it. I would have delegated it to my husband. You rock!
It was good to see you and Shalynn the other day.

I love it! It looks so nice all finished and put back together. You should be so proud of yourself.

It looks so gorgeous! Wish I could have been there to help so I could brag...but it looks like the bragging rights are all yours my friend! Good job.
