Master bedroom and powder room before and afters

We've been wrapping up some bedroom updates so today seemed like a good time to share a few before and after photos.  When we moved in there wasn't any lighting except for two very strange spot lights above the bed.  Jon installed six can lights and updated all the electrical. We sanded and polished the flooring and did a ton of painting. The only thing that's left for us to do is paint the built-in and add new hardware.

Here are some before pics: If you are a fan of peaches and cream, then you would've loved this room.  The walls were 3 different shades of peach!

Look at the cute little tea service on the bed.  Aww....

And a few after pics:

We are still trying to decide which art we like best over our bed.  The vintage sea scape (above) is obviously a better fit, size wise, but we love our French beach photo.  Whichever one we don't keep over the bed will hang in the sitting area, to the right of the french door.  Feel free to share which artwork you think should hang above the bed!

I had been on the hunt for a mounted sailfish for about 3 years and was ecstatic to find this guy on OfferUp for only $100.  He was a fishing price from Cozumel.  Yes, please! I will say that the first few mornings he was up on the wall I woke with a start.  Ha!

Unfortunately, I only have this one, sad photo of our powder room before we went to work on it.  Honestly, it was horrible.  You can't tell from the picture, but the toilet was brown as well as the sink. The lighting was fluorescent box lighting.  It was BAD.  So, we (and by that I mean, Jon), ripped it all out and replaced everything.

I've been collecting vintage seascapes for years and years.  They were a little easier to come by in Washington, since we lived so close to Puget Sound (I'd find one at Goodwill almost every time I'd go), but here in Texas, they are few and far between. Sniff.

Thanks for letting me share!  Whenever I look around and feel like there are just too many house projects for this lifetime, it's good to refer back to what we have already done.  I'm feeling thankful.  :)
