Sep. 5, 2009 - We finally finished our room (So now we have pictures.)

So we finally decided on paint colors, scraped the ceiling, put in flooring, and finished decorating our room. Finally. So for those who haven't actually seen it in person, I've decided to post pictures!

First the before:

 

Ugly, isn't it? The house was built in 1970 and was never updated.

Now, since it looked so boring before and I'm running out of picture space, The After Photos!

We did two shades of blue on the walls.

Our shells from when we lived on our boat, and the Philippines boxes. Aren't they beautiful?

The picture on the left is made up of blue morphos butterfly wings; my great grandfather bought it in Panama in the early 1920's when he first went to Brazil as a missionary. Most of the other things came from either the Philippines, or the Caribbean.

Look at that! All my favorite books in one place. And they match, too.

I particularly like that light green one there in the middle. :)

 

 ...and I've run out of space.  Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Rebekah- Have you ever seen a soft ball sized spiky clam?  My Grandma gave one to me that had been sitting in her basement for the last 10 years, and told me it had come from the Philippines. According to National Geographic Magazine they're kind of rare now. Hmmm....

That's all! No more! Wala na. :)

Post A Comment!
