The Big Reveal!

Well, as the votes proved, I decided to take on my bedroom this weekend and a full 24 hours later it is complete! It really wasn't that bad...more fun than anything. My friend graciously gave up her Saturday to come help me and after deciding on a color palette, the rest is history! We started off at Lowes, then on to Hobby Lobby, TJMaxx, Chic-Fil-A (gotta make time for that)!, Target, and then I ran to Walmart this morning to pick up a few other finishing touches. We cranked up the country music, made sure a Dr. Pepper was in arm's reach and went to work. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story but a HUGE thanks to Ginny for giving up her Saturday to help me! 

Before...

No turning back....

After!!!

Here are some of my favorite things in the room!

Flowers and vase from Hobby Lobby (both 50% off)! Doesn't get much better than that! And yes, I know I need to cut the stem...I just didn't have wire cutters on hand!

These flowers are also from Hobby Lobby and the vase is something I've had for awhile.

The milk jug is from Target (Winter 2011) and the lantern I also got from Target yesterday for just $3!!
The duvet cover is from Target, sheets from TJMaxx, curtains from Walmart and everything else was just stuff I had laying around. I'm also looking forward to hanging this bad boy up...I just haven't because I want to bust the panes out so it won't be so heavy and I still need someone to hang it for me. Speaking of...anyone know how I can bust these panes out? I tried a hammer and surprisingly it didn't work. Suggestions please?! I got this window pane from my friend Jaime...she had it lying around and couldn't use it at the time, so I got it for FREE! But there are also some at a local Antique shop for about $20.00!

Hope you love the room as much as I do! The blue is a little darker than I thought it'd be but I think it'll just take some time to get used to...I was used to a pretty blah color so it's just a change but I really do love this room!!
