I redid the shelf area a bit. I love the bust in the middle. There are 3 things I love to buy and could never have enough of and they are: busts, lamps, and pieces of coral. (yes I know the coral thing is tired, but I still love it.) BTW, I got the bust at Hobby Lobby for 3 bucks on sale (it was an ugly dark brown/grey color) and I spray painted it with White Laquer spray paint. I am so proud of it and my cheapness!.

Another nice view of my relayered bedroom. I added more color because I was beginning to feel like I was staying at a posh hospital or something. LOL Thats my drafting table sticking out in the lower left corner. I hate it in my room, but it's only temporarily until I can convince my mom to let me transform the spare bedroom into my office and still keep the library as my 2nd office. I can wish.....

My computer area. This is the desk from the before pictures. Yes it was that hideous broken desk. I repaired it and applied several coats of varnish to the top and my mother made the skirt for the desk. This is by far my favorite mini-makeover. When we finished the desk I felt like a kid on christmas morning when he sees all the presents under the tree. It looks so fancy. :) ok lets move on. :).

This little sitting area is my nephews reading area and they love it. My mother sowed all the cushion covers.. The fabric was 20 bucks a yard so we were lucky we found something affordable and durable..

The seat covers, the pillows, the desk skirt and all the curtains were sown together by my mother. I swear she knows how to do EVERYTHING..

Where do I start? The inspiration for this room came from one thing. The yellow fabric seen above. My mother saw it at the store and bought the whole thing. She didn't know what it would be used on, but she liked it so much she said she just couldn't leave it there. Next thing you know I get a vision and we are back in design mode after a several month hiatus from designing. This is the result. What do you think? BTW, I am an Interior Design student. :).

The fireplace brick was by far the hardest work. It took me 5 days and up to 8 hours of each day to refinish the brick and fill in the deep gaps. After many muscle aches I finally finished and the results were very worth all my hard work. The fireplace used up 3 coats of primer and 5 coats of paint..
