Daughter Hawthorne's Room. Before and After.

This is Daughter Hawthorne's room BEFORE. Granted, my entire kitchen was in her room, but it was still a nasty little mess. The carpet was 20 years old, badly stained with God knows what, and NASTY. Too bad I didn't shoot any pictures of her walls. Let's just say, there was no wall space left uncovered. Posters, pictures, high school memorabilia, you name it. Every inch of wall space was covered.

When Ed came to paint her walls, he couldn't because of all the pin holes from thumb tacks and pushy pins.
Maybe a thousand or so.
Ed had to get a mud man first to come in and plaster before he could paint.

This is Daughter Hawthorne's room AFTER.

It took me a while to get used to the yeller, but I like it very much.
And it IS YELLER. Digital blog photos just don't do it justice.















Just more views of the same.

I must tell you, the sheets and comforter are GREEN, but they look blue in the pictures.




















YAY! Rosie made a FruitSkape.


















Niece Hawthorne went to the O'Keefe exhibit at the Raleigh museum and brought me back this Georgia O'Keefe poster.

I had it framed and had Mr. Hawthorne hang it yesterday before Daughter Hawthorne got home.

I went to Harris Teeter yesterday morning just to get some Kosher salt, since I didn't have enough for brining my turkey. Seventy plus dollars later (How does that happen? I just went in for freaking SALT!), I left with my Kosher salt and a lovely live Calla lily to match the one in Georgia's poster. That's it on the right of the bookcase.

WHOOT!




Another view of the bed. And the comforter still looks blue but it's really and truly GREEN.











I'll have to shoot pictures of this in the daytime. It's truly a pretty room.

Oh, and look over there on the bookcase under Georgia's poster. I have a KandleSkape!

Oh, and about those bookcases, which, by the way, Mr. Hawthorne made, they will be filled with ... BOOKS! None of Daughter Hawthorne's frou-frou.
BOOKS, I TELL YA. BOOKS!
