Julia's new room

Although we finished Julia's new room in June, Debbie just finished the quilt for Julia's bed. So now the bedroom is officially done and I can take pictures!

The room used to be a cat/catch-all/junk room. Here are the only "before" pictures I can find of it. These were taken several years ago when we still had the cat litter boxes in there. The room looked much, MUCH worse when we started on it this spring. (We ended up having to rip up the entire floor and sub-floor!!)




Here is the room now. Quite a transformation if you ask me. I never thought this room would ever look so good.

A view of the new closet and built-in shelves. (Same view as the first picture with all the litter boxes in it.)


Standing beside the closet looking at the other end of the room.


The letters on the wall were the same letters Jerrod had hanging in his bedroom!


A closer look at the toy selves. I LOVE these!! I am so glad I insisted on them. They somewhat neatly contain all of the toy mess. Unfortunately, a lot of Julia's toys are not even on these selves when I took this picture!


The HUGE closet! I just went through all of Julia's clothes. She did have 4x this amount of clothes.


Plenty of storage space on the closet floor for the big toys.


I also had built-in shelves made for the closet. I am all about storage space!



Her shoes. Again, I had just went through her shoes. This was overflowing with shoes....


Outside of the closet.


I want give a HUGE "Thank You" to Jerry for doing most of the building and work (and never getting to upset with what I wanted done); and to Debbie for helping furnish and decorate it. The dresser was Jerrod's growing up, the bed was Jen's and all the other furniture came from them.
