Furniture Face-lift!

Horray! I finally finished the furniture I inherited for Eden's room. The colors for her room are light aqua blue, white, purple (a medium shade) and a little bit of green. I got her bedding on Ebay- discontinued Pottery Barn Kids. Her room still needs some work, but we're getting there!

Here are the before and after pictures. Sorry, we had already started when I thought to take a few shots of the "before". We had already taken off the old hardware and other embellishments. We decided to do one piece antique white and the other an aqua blue to give the room an accent piece. I really like how they turned out. Kira antiqued them a little bit with Walnut stain and I think she did a really good job. Hopefully these will last for a while! When she outgrows her toddler bedding, I might do her room aqua, green and light pink. We'll see. Anyway, thanks to Kira for doing such a great job!

Connie, that furniture is adorable! I LOVE the blue color you chose for the desk. It's really fun to fix up old stuff. The dressers in Lucy's room are mine when I was kid and they were my older cousin's before that. Kinda cool.
Nice work!
