la casa (not so nueva)

some of you might remember that this time last year, we were just moving into our new house and posted some pictures from various corners of our home. and that we never posted any pictures of our bedroom, mostly because it was sadly neglected and there was little to photograph. but now, a year later, we have put some energy into it! new floor, antique armoir, and now more changes. it's been a fun challenge-- to make it what we would like it to be, and not to spend much money. so, about $50 and a few cans of paint later... here we are! the birds on the wall were a little project that mom and i completed, as well as painting the thrift store side table. the black dresser used to be metalic blue (yes, metallic blue) and was left in the house when the previous owner moved out. with a little black paint and some new hardware, plus some man-tool work from daddy, it's good as new and looks a million times better! there are still some details to be finished-- hanging the mirror, getting another side table, etc. but it's mostly done and we've enjoyed the challenge! ta da!
