Message me below! Tell me what you think about these

This is such a surreal moment for me. I really cannot believe I'm finished and am no longer going to write weekly posts about my guest bedroom. It's bittersweet! I'm so glad I stumbled across this challenge and thank you to Linda at Calling it Home for creating such a a great event! Well, here you can see where it all started, week 1-5.

The biggest change is the new windows. It is so much brighter and fresher now in this room! It's amazing how much light can change a space. Below is the before: My painters pushed us back to Friday, which stinks because I will be on my way to New York City with some girlfriends. So, I will have to wait until Sunday to make

Week 3. I mean, half way there, already? I'm not even doing that large of a project, but I am stressing, second guessing my picks and pacing by my room at all hours of the day!

Pillows 9. Accessories 10. Art 11. Lighting (lamp and overhead) 12. Paint or Wallpaper Oh and let's add new windows to that list - whoop whoop! We had always planned on changing out the

Happy Friday, y'all! I cannot wait for the weekend!! There's a lot of work happening around the house, I have to show property, but I also want to enjoy some sunshine and fun like my little man here. Today, wallpaper is being installed, and I cannot stand the anticipation. I keep walking down the hall and checking every 5 minutes to get a glance. Yes, I need to go to the coffee shop a couple of doors down to get out of the way of my wallpaper hanger. (Is that what they are called?) I better Google that
