"After"

Several people have asked for "after" pictures of Anna's room. Well, we don't really have an "after" yet because we are still working on it. But here are some pix that are pretty close. This weekend we managed to shampoo the carpet, take out the closet doors, install rod for closet curtains, hang curtains, revamp curtain for the window and make a pillow for the bed.

We were fortunate to find some shower curtains at Target, that Anna liked, for the closet and her window. I had to cut the window one down and add black-out fabric on the back. With the extra fabric, I was able to make the pillow.

We were, and still are, planning on making a quilt for her bed.  We already had fabrics picked out to go with the colors.  But we found a quilt at Target that also went well and got that.  It's on the bed (and now we won't have to rush to make the other one).



We are still looking for a desk and maybe some shelving for her room. Obviously, she doesn't have everything back in her room yet. (This is the cleanest it will be in the next four years, I imagine.) We aren't sure if we will kept the cubicles, but for now they stay. The room now has a fresh look.
