College Room Reveal !!

We finished up the Frat-Turned-Sorority-Girl-Room last week.  However, I have been too tired to upload the photos!

Here is the finished room....

Here are a few 'before' photos to help you fully appreciate why I am tired...

Remember where I noted here that there was a pully hanging from the ceiling for hanging clothes and lots of beer labels and holes in the wall?  If you missed my post about why my daughter was moving into a fraternity house, you might want to check it out, here.

All has been repaired, repainted, and renewed!

  

Unfortunately, my i-phone does not take professional photos, but the light up under that loft is this one....

ikea

It is the perfect amount of light for that area and did not require any wiring.  We just hung some cup hooks and plugged it in! 

For the windows, I sewed the gray damask material in a strip along the Ritva curtain panels.

I made some cute pillows from the fabric I shared in this post, but she took the pillows to the sorority house for 'staging' during rush.  (A 19-year-old 'staging' a house- Oh, dear - what have I done?)

The aqua futon was from last year's dorm room, a la Target.

I just snapped a few quick photos one evening when I was delivering something to her - they were still unpacking at this stage.

Another day I brought her a mattress and this owl I found at TJMAxx for $10 on the clearance aisle.

It is difficult to see the lampshade in the photos due to my lack of a decent camera, but we used this shade .....

to cover over the light fixture.  
The old lighting is still in use, but the Lyrik shade from Ikea makes it cuter.

Turned out great, didn't it?

Now, let's just hope she will study!

Here is my Painting of the Day - Day 11....
