Bedroom Redo

Wow! I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday already. It has been a full, but wonderful week. I’m so thankful for the strength to help Mom around the house. It’s a joy to work alongside of her on decorating projects.

Below are pictures from my bedroom makeover. We changed the window treatments, added a desk, moved furniture, and spring-cleaned. It’s now a restful, organized, practical, and beautiful bedroom. Enjoy!

    Katy–what a beautiful makeover!! That’s so exciting!! Thanks for sharing pictures. I’m going to try to come see you once I get done with school in about three weeks. Hopefully the Remicaide will still be doing its job!! :)
    Love and prayers,
    Jen :)

    Dear Katy, Oh, DOESN’T it feel good to have a room makeover! It’s like having a new room. I used to love to do that in Africa, with my old beat-up hand-me-downs from many missionaries… and a couch cover-up of fake leopard-skin over the ugly dark couch cover! It always gave me SUCH a morale boost - great to come home to after a long day at the hospital. And do you know, I’ve just gotten new aqua scarf valances in my living room, and got out my old set of purple violets cushions and throw to go on the couch below the curtains - the same color combo - a lilac cushion, too. :-) !

    Had such a great talk with your Mom on the phone this eve! She will tell you about it. Wow! an exciting possibility has come up!

    I just went into the children’s choir and listened to it twice again! It is so thrilling! I’m guessing it comes from England - that big cathedral… I wish you could make that one of your permanent links…? I’d also, Katy, love to see that wonderful strong testimony of yours, from several months ago, go up on the links. I am just thanking the Lord SO MUCH that the Remacaide is working so well and that you have assurance that it will continue to work well for you! BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD,
    HE IS WORTHY! MORE THAN WORTHY! TO BE PRAISED AND ADORED!

    Much love, Aunt Lil

    I like both the before and after! What a beautiful room. It all looks lovely. I’m so glad you have had such a great week — you were long overdue for that! Hugs to you and continued prayers.

    Katy! Thanks for sharing those pics with us. Your room is so beautiful!! I love the pastel colors!! You decorate so nicely. Glad your feeling better and we’ll continue to keep you in our prayers as you taper off the Prednisone.

    Dear Katy,
    I don’t think that propeller is big enough to make the room fly…

    Hi Katy,

    Your room looks beautiful! I am so glad that the Remicade is working and that you are able to do all of the things that you enjoy. Praise God! Know that you are in my daily prayers.

    I love that dresser! I’m a big fan of French impressionist art - and that reminds me of it. Grin!

    Great job with the room!

    There is a neat effect in those last 2 pictures before the desk; the flowers in the bowl on the dresser (in the lower picture) appear to be part of the flowers painted on the dresser in the picture above.
