nursery before & after

Remember how I told you that Baby Bear's nursery was originally our junk room?

I finally dug up my before pictures, and now I can officially prove it.

Do you see that beautiful photo above? The one that looks like it should be in a magazine?

Here's what it looked like a year ago:

As before and afters go, this one is seriously dramatic! His room was such a complete disaster that I'm sort of embarrassed to even show you guys the photos -- but on the other hand, I'm extra proud of his nursery given the way the room looked beforehand.

And like I said, I've been bitten by the decorating bug! There are a bunch of spots in our house that I never quite had the time/budget to decorate enough, and I'm hoping to show you guys a few examples of how I finally made them work!

But for now, let's just sit back a moment and appreciate how this disaster of a junk room became a beautiful bedroom for our baby boy. It took a lot of work, but I couldn't be happier with how it turned out!
