Before I get into my bedroom makeover pictures, I just want to share something funny Meredith does all the time now. She puts us on time outs. Today Greg took our vacuum clean upstairs to clean up a mess. Meredith saw him taking it up the stairs and had a fit (she's a tidy little thing and likes to clean). She started screaming in a high pitched voice and screaming real fast saying "No Daddy, vacuum cleaner stay down. Down stairs. Daddy on a time out". Sometimes I can't help but laugh at her little fits.
Oh, and you will be happy to know this blog update got interrupted by a certain someone who was having quiet time in her crib (didn't take a nap today) and decided to take her pants and POOPY diaper off.
Anyway, we are done with our bedroom finally. We got a new bed a couple weeks back so we figured that if we have a nice new bed, we should spruce up our room a little bit. It was pretty bad as you can see from these before pictures.
This is before (obviously). As you can see, we don't even have a bedframe and sleep with sheets and blankets that don't match. Our walls are bare and white.
AFTER
I have a cord cover that will go over that white cord...don't you worry.
And just for fun, here is the inscription inside and original documents that came with the chest.
This one is just another angle.
This is a beautiful cedar chest that my grandpa gave my grandma as a wedding gift back in 1942. It looks beautiful with the bed.

These are our new thermal curtains that actually fit our window.
Another angle.
This is the best part of the bed and what sold us on spending so much money on it. There is another drawer like this on the other side.
And finally, the ghettoness of our room still. We are waiting to get the matching dressers so we are using our dressers of old for now. The good thing about this bed is that is was handcrafted so we don't have to worry about not being able to get coordinating pieces.

And for those of you who insist on seeing pictures of Meredith, this is what I arrived home to one evening this week. Looks like Grandma had a little fun playing with M's hair. Oh, and remember how I said she was tidy? That's her broom in her hand.
