Baby's room transformation

As you all know, when Addie was born, we lived in a rental townhouse and so we couldn't do much to her room--and tack on the fact that we knew we weren't going to stay there long, we didn't want to do much anyway, so we hung some things up and focused on purple with some green and it was fine. And...the house we moved into had a purple room already--score!

But we're in OUR house now, and the baby room had flowers and butterflies on it--cute for a baby yes (there were twin girls residing in this room before we moved in), but we're having a BOY so...you know...no flowers and butterflies for him ;)

Well how's this for a transformation?

This is the before:

Stevo doing all the hard work--taping, primer...

Layer 1 of blue paint...

All painted! But then there's a question of the carpet--it's a lighter blue than the walls, and there are stains...so it's kind of gross. I've wanted to get rid of it for a long time, but you know, with time and money, we debated it. Today Steve rented a steam cleaner to clean up the carpet before moving all the crib, etc back in and he decided to lift up the carpet to see what it looked like underneath (Addie's room is just hardwood floor).

And look what we found!

After a good sweep....gorgeous :)
