Spring is in the air! Another bedroom complete in the Casa!

Fall has come out with all it's splendor and we're back in God's country, North Georgia Mountains.  The weather is awesome and on this trip we had some family come for a few days.  We were able to spend a little time showing off the area and exploring some things we had yet to see.  Usually we are so focused on working on our house, trying to fit as much in as we can in such a short time.  We hit the changing of the leaves at a perfect time.  How beautiful the forested mountains were and the crisp, cold air was a welcome relief from our Florida humidity.

As for our Georgia home, we have made quite a dent in the finishes.  We now have three bedrooms finished and are now ready to start furnishing the third one.  Check out the before and after photos of this room.  We started out with a brown gloomy room with mixed matched wall materials and partial laminate floors.  We ended up tearing down one interior wall and replacing with wood from pallets, then whitewashed them and painted the baseboards and door with a light gray, as the pallet wall ended up with a bit of a gray hue.  The floors were replaced with tongue and groove pine that we left natural and coated with numerous applications of sanding and polyurethane.  The floor was  not too difficult to put down but the smell from the polyurethane was terrible.  All in all, it looks great. 
Take a look at the progress below:

Before

Here's the room finished and decorated.  I had so much fun putting this together.  This was a real budget friendly room and turned out so amazing.  Drapes are drop cloths that I smocked at the top (sorry did not get a close up of this).  Picture was one I took, enlarged and framed; repurposed an old hand-me-down chair with yellow paint and crocheted the throw at the end of the bed.  The bed, night table, wall shelf, mirror and desk we made as well out of pine lumber.

After

Here is a picture of the stand we made for this bedroom that is not seen in this photo.  Super easy and again made from pine lumber.  I cannot take credit for the idea itself, normally my go-to is Shanty-2-chic.com and Ana-White.com.  Two wonderful sources for free plans.

It took a couple of re-dos on the wall color and getting that "just the right touch".  We're open for company now with three bedrooms complete.  Now on to room No. 4. 

Hope you enjoyed my update.  More project completions to come at Home Made In Georgia!
