Makeover - Home Edition

What do you get when you combine Christmas money, your parents, and a three-day weekend? A home makeover - naturally.

For Christmas this year, Paula and Mr. T bought me a bedspread I'd been eyeing at Ikea. I love it! So when Mom and Dad came to visit over MLK weekend Mom and I hit Ikea to get the complete package. Of course, I liked everything. At the end of the day I'd spent far more than I meant to and was thrilled about it. Then dad led the way to Home Depot to get materials to make the bed frame...hooray for tons of storage!

A couple weeks and a trip to Target later, I've redone the Master and set up the guest room. I'm so thrilled.

And now all I need are guests...hint hint!

See what you think!

Watch out Bob Villa

Eeeek!! Tool fight!

Sooo much storage - hooray!
Imagine yourself...here!!

Nice work! Looks awesome :) It's frighteningly easy to spend too much money at Ikea, but soooo fun!

Isn't decorating fun?! I'm trying to prod Bridgette into switching to a big girl bed - just because i want an excuse to decorate another room. Love you guys.
