remember the list?
item #1
Today, I am going to show you the before's.
This bedroom has and always will be
known as the girls' room.
As opposed to the boys' room.
known as the girls' room.
As opposed to the boys' room.
Original, I know.
When we first moved into this house
oldest girl (mrs mk) and miss g shared this room
then miss g and girl young-in shared.
I am a firm believer in kids sharing rooms.
It builds relationships,
allows for giggles at bedtime,
and
makes the children learn to share space together.
perfect training for marriage :)
(besides there are never enough bedrooms for 5 children)
This is how Miss G and I decorated the room
after mrs mk married.
being the big sister (by several years) miss g got to pick
the colors and decor
the colors and decor
Even as a young girl,
she loved the romantic look.
And the wedding?
If you haven't seen it-go take a peek! I just did! Fun times!
these words remain
painted by mrs mk when she was a teen
above the closet
going out the door
We're making great progress with the new look.
We've been painting.
White.
Are you surprised?
You will be.

Hope to see you on my blog:)
Cannot WAIT to see the new look! (Although I can't imagine it being any more beautiful:)!So happy I found your blog.....blessed every time I come here! Have a lovely evening~~Shine
I cannot wait to see what you ladies are doing. I do it will be fabulous. I'm sure that daughter is like mother...talented and gifted.
Cant wait to see the finished room
have fun!

Talk about giggles...I bet y'all are sharing a few. If that room could talk...it'd be better than a diary.
Debbie
P.S. I'm taking that last scripture for myself. Love it.
Oh what fun....I can't wait to see all the colors. Your daughter's smile is beautiful.
I love the before, can't wait to see what you do.
Cant wait to see :) I love letting my kids pick their own style and I too love them sharing rooms
Those are some of the most beautiful before pictures I have ever seen, truly! :) I can't wait to see how it all comes together with the new look!
I hope you are enjoying your summer! :)
Blessings,
Jenni
Beautiful!!!! Hugs Mary
This is very interesting, of course. I like the scriptures above the doors. I had doorways like that in my old house...wish I'd done more to show them off.
Delicata e romantica,come del resto sono le tue altre decorazioni della casa.Ciao e grazie del commento lasciato al mio blog!Rosetta
I can hardly wait to see the next lovely look in the girls room. Before and after pictures are always nice. Your daughter looks lovely and happy, just like you, her dear mother.
Hugs ~ FlowerLady
Creative design and so purdy!
I looove it! But then again I love everything in white!
Thank you for coming to visit my blog!
I visit here often and try to leave comments but sometimes the time gets away and all I have time for is to look at all of the wonderful things you are doing. I cannot wait to see the magis that you preform on "the girls room". I could not agree more, it is so much better to share a room...my sister and I still do whn we go to my moms to visit.
I love the new door coolor the place behind the knob! Beautiful. It is a shame that in these modern times they got rid of those...they add so much more character to a door!
I wish I lived closer to your sales, perhaps when I am next in Idaho I can come to a sale.
Have a wonderful and blessed day!
I'm eager to see the end result (thought I could have looked and looked at this room just as it IS)!
...And I think you have a GREAT philosophy about children sharing rooms. :)
oohh I love the before pictures. Can't wait to see the after ones. Your daughter is totally adorable:)

Capers of the vintage vixens
Oh Rene, you and your family are so inspiring. The bedroom is already beautiful but I can see your little girl wanting her own personality stamp on it. The wedding...I have a story for you. For months I have this costumers that have been coming and buying vintage stuff for a family member's wedding. The bride was still teaching in Houston and she commission her aunt to treasure hunt for her. The first day they told me they were planning a vintage, out of the box wedding I referred your blog as inspiration. Well, I finally got to meet the "kids" just as young and beautiful as your Ms G and posse. They are having a November wedding and the second thing she did was thanking me for giving them the info about your blog. Be flattered, she is copying a lot of the ideas. They promised they will send me pictures of the wedding. The groom is in college studying to be pastor and she was teaching in NASA and now both will reside in my town. I LOVE IT. I insist you should submit the wedding to a magazine, I can just see many other brides been inspire by it. I think that more than all the pretty things you used in everything you do, the beauty we see is the one that radiates from you all and that can't be bought. I so wish you were closer, I know in my heart we would be bests of friends. Blessing and by the way, the house is looking great, Marta.
Have fun..can't wait to see it.
Sooo the question is, are you keeping the lamps in the new room? ;) ~miss g
Befores/afters all were, and will be, amazing.

Your daughter's smile is contagious, my cheeks hurt! Can't wait to see the finished room!
Love that smile at the end. I'm as excited as she is I think. The before was pretty amazing but change is always good.

carole

thanks for the visit, I did do the carbon paper and then painted it..haven't tried the mod podge yet...that looks easier!
I loved it before too. I know it's going to be beautiful again all re-done for your youngest daughter. Can't wait to see it. :) Y'all are making beautiful memories together too.
Hugs,

Renee, I loved the tea party and had seen the last post of the wedding but somehow never saw the first four. My heart is just smiling as I look at your family, a beauty that never fades, a love that just grows stronger. Your Faith wrapped around all of it.....the wedding was the most original, cute, inspiring wedding and like many others have said should be in magazine to inspire others. Your daughters look just like you. I do indeed want to come back and see what the new room looks like. This room has held so much love, laughter, tears, I am sure at times, but always compassion and love under it all. My hat is off to you as a mother, to your daughters. Thank you for sharing such a lovely comment on my recent post. Blessings,
Lynn
Can't wait to see the after photos.. you have such a talent! Have fun!
Wanda
I think I am confused, isn't the room already white? I am sure once you get finished with it, you daughter will love it and the room will be beautiful.
Such a pretty room! Can't wait to see the new direction it will take with the young-in's personality reflected. ;)
Thanks for linking to the party. I'm glad you decided to join the fun. Hope to see you each week!
Blessings,

so Beautiful!!!
How can you improve on that? What a sweet room, I love it... Can't wait to see what you two come up with! I too believe in kids sharing rooms. Late night talks, the giggles and I am sure that the reason that my two older boys are so close today is because they shared a room while growing up. t. xoxoxoxo
What a wonderful room, Rene! Im curious about the new look- i'm sure, it will be absolutely great!
And yes: I live in a really breathtaking surrounding area- big mountains, a lot of green, water and forests,- everything you need to be happy! ;o))) (And oh, i forget: all my animal-friends!!)
Wish you wonderful days, my dear!

Oh I can't wait to see!! We just finished {almost} my youngest daughter's room...she wanted bright colors...no white for her{boo-hoo for mama;}

She is so blessed to have a Mom who not only loves but creates love! The room is filled with love.
Thank you beautiful friend for reminding me what it was like to share a life in a room with my sister. There were 5 of us that my Mom raised in a house that built us!
This was a beautiful post thank you for your visit, it has been way to long, I will have to visit way more often so I don't miss out on your beauty! :)

That bedroom is beautiful, now I am so curious to see what you do to it! The iron baby bed...I was going to use it out in the garden but after posting it and finding out what I could have paid for it I think not! Not sure where it will go now....

Renee,
It's been too long since I've had time to sit & drool over your blog. Summer, kids & 100 plus degree heat has turned me into a crazy person!
The room is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see it. Enjoyed catching up on your older posts. I love that your daughter shares your love for everything vintage. How fun to create rooms, parties & memories together. Unfortunatly my daughter is all about purple, Barbie & bright! She thinks my stuff is 'dirty'. LOL She's only 6 so theres time for me to bring her into the 'low color' side.
Lisa
Boy, I love the befores so I can't wait to see the afters! Your daughter is so pretty, and I agree, looks like her mama.
What a precious room, how could it get better? But I know each little gal needs her own expression! Can't wait to see what you do with it. so glad you linked up, xoxo
So dreamy! Love the scriptures! Thanks for popping in for a visit at TheDedicatedHouse. Tootles, Kathryn
Oh! I can't wait to see the result! But the before pictures are absolutely dreamy.
