My Favorite Room


About a week before Braeden's baptism, leaving for Rough Camp, Primary Quarterly Activity and my week for Sharing time, I decided to make a big change. So I started by pulling off the previous owner's tapestry they had so eloquently placed as a lovely border around our family room. One thing led to another and by 2:30am on a random Tuesday, I had painted the previously maroon room with a coat of primer and 2 coats of white. This was just to get us through the very busy next week. Then I called my very good friend Kelley and asked her if she had any ideas for this room. We had previously discussed some wants, however, I thought it was just casual conversation. I was happily wrong. She arrived the next morning, blueprint and nailgun in hand. She had done a tad bit of homework and compared paint samples and decor! In one day, she transformed this room. Unfortunately, I didn't take a before picture. Picture this: marroon/red walls with an oak chair rail, beige tapestry framed nicely with marroon/red border wood. I have to give complete credit to Kelley because I was really busy with camp stuff, a CTR shield and babysitting neices and nephews. I can't thank Kelley enough for the gift she gave. And now this is my favorite room!
