Greta's Room: Before and...errr Progress!

Fast-forward to this morning.  Greta slept in her "new" room for the very first time last night.  She slept like a rock, too.  We aren't officially calling her room done-zo because there's still tons we would like to do with it and we are sure it will constantly be evolving, but it is her room now, and we'll update you as we add things.  Here's the grand after progress shot taken at the same angle.

We have done a lot to this room!  The biggest thing was getting new carpet, but it's all the little details that really make this room feel kid-chic.  We snagged those floor to ceiling white curtains from Ikea in the as-is section for $9.99 because they were the floor models.  They add a really soft look, especially next to her new blinds.  We went with a dark bamboo roman shade (only $28.99 on Overstock!) that really helps block out light for her naps when it is closed.  We did a quick switch of the light fixture and changed it to a dimmer switch, too, which eliminated the need for a lamp.

All of the doors, trim and baseboards were almond-colored and all of that got 5 fresh coats of crisp, white paint.  You can see how dingy they looked below in the picture on the left against just one coat of white paint.

If you are wondering where her changing table is, we put it in her closet.  After lots of thinking and moving things around, we decided that would be best.  It's nice to use the above shelf for storing her diapers and wipes and all of her clothes will be in one place.  Plus, the temptation isn't there for her to throw all of her clothes out of the drawers.  So far, it is working great for us and we are excited that there is more room for her to play.
