The Amazing Reveal

I've been wanting to re-do do our room ever since we moved in but since we were gone all summer, we didn't get to it until we moved back.  We finished about month ago but I wanted my parents and family to see it in person before I revealed the pictures.  So here it is, in all its glory.  Hopefully you can get an idea of the transformation, its kind of hard to see in pictures.

(all the picture angles are the same, but the furniture is switched around)

We switched the bed from in front of the window to opposite the window.  You can get a good look at our dresser before in this picture (and our after dresser in the above picture).  We got rid of the mirrors and spray painted all the furniture black and the handles from gold to silver.

 sorry, no before picture on this one...but you can see them next to the before bed pictures.

We both LOVE it!  We feel so calm when we walk in!
Caleb helped me alot in this project, (being that it is our room, I think it kind of forced him to be involved or have to deal with the mess for a week).  Thank goodness for his help and his tallness because he painted the whole ceiling himself and then helped with all the walls.  He also helped me spray paint the furniture.  
I LOVE spray praint!  This was my parents bedroom furniture forever before ours and doesn't it just make the hugest difference!?  And its so cheap (even if it does take 15 cans of it :-)

So, what do you think?

I love what you did to your room! It gives it such a different feel. I LOVE re-doing rooms and making it all work together. You did great!!! It's even better that you used the old furniture... It is very serene.
