This room was really dark and dated before:
After lots of work, it is now bright and cheery! We hung crisp white ceiling to floor drapery to give it some additional height. We also stuck with white for the bedding. I made some throw pillows to add some additional colors to the space and we went from there.
These were the original milk glass lamps in the space, they just needed a good cleaning and new shades! The headboard was spray painted which you can see
HERE. The new mattresses are much taller than the old ones, so it is harder to see!
I used wooden frames from goodwill and painted them all the same white to make a grouping above the bed. I included some old pics of Oma and Opa as well as some of her sheet music. This was a great way to pay tribute to her many years playing piano both for the church and for her many piano students!
These are old magazines from the 30's that Oma had saved...we didn't know why but thought they must have been special and wanted to keep them. And why put them in a box somewhere when they have such perfect graphics for the room! I just used simple document frames for these.
Here is the re-finished dresser after some accessorizing with old books and pictures.
The other side of the room still has some boxes to go through, but it's looking much better.
These items on the vanity are just some old books and a metal box along with some old family pics and Oma's metronome.
