Your room now looks very modern and definitely updated. The sunflower design you made for the wall is such a dramatic piece and adds a lot to the room. I've just discovered your blog and am off to see other posts as I can see I "like your style"!<br /><br />DDLori @ Dining Delighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378056932489791580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916541281182346396.post-30405539130074659082014-04-08T06:55:29.867-05:002014-04-08T06:55:29.867-05:00Your room is absolutely lovely - modern, fresh and...Your room is absolutely lovely - modern, fresh and very stylish - you did a wonderful job !<br />As for the 'anon' comment - Bates Motel ??

I just can not believe someone would say such awful things! I look at a lot of blogs and enjoy seeing everyone's projects and photos of their home, even though it may now be my style, I admire the fact that people are wanting to make their homes pretty and homey. Even though your "before" wasn't my cup of tea, I would not describe it as horrible or dated. Your home seems so clean and well kept and I can tell you really love your home and family. I think you responded much better than I would have. I think we should decorate our homes in a way that makes us happy and content. It won't be what everyone likes, but that's what makes us all individuals. The world would be so boring if we all had the same tastes and styles. I do really like the "after" look and I think you and your husband worked beautifully together to do a great job. You should be very proud. I would like to see a little greenery, maybe an ivy on your table and maybe a floor plant even if it is artificial. I think it would warm the room. Just saying.Life on Royal Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169976068852174983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916541281182346396.post-32055375758045752072014-04-05T16:20:44.699-05:002014-04-05T16:20:44.699-05:00It turned out so gorgeous and WOW what you did wit...It turned out so gorgeous and WOW what you did with your budget!!!
