Sad Before & After

My oldest daughter's bedroom was my favorite project last year. I guess we started it the year before, but it was pretty much finished last June. I continued working on several projects up until about 6 months ago.

Here's what it looked like all finished...

My daughter chose Lucent Purple by Valspar for her paint color. I wasn't too sure about her choice until we started painting. Once the first bit of paint was rolled on the wall, I loved it.

Here's how it looks today... :.(  tear...  
For those of you who are new to my blog; my daughter moved to SoCal last month.

Sammy slept on her bed for two weeks after she left. He used to sleep outside her room against the far wall in the hallway.

We tried very hard to ship her amoire~ (we decked it out as a hair/jewelry/makeup station), but it was just too costly. You can see the inside of it HERE.

She took her artwork and most of her accessories with her, but Mr. Fanatic bought her new lamps in California. She & I weren't  in love with the ones in her room.

This closet was wayyyyyy to small for her. She had over 200 tops and at least 50 pair of shoes! She saw an article once about someone putting their bed in the closet and using the room as the closet and asked if she could do that!

If you'd like to see more of my oldest daughter's former bedroom, you can go HERE.

Not sure what I will do with this room...I already have a large craft room/office, a guest bedroom and have 2nd family room in our basement...ok, don't hate me. 
I don't think I could change this room right now anyway. I probably will just buy a new coverlet and put the bedskirt back on.

Would love to hear from all of you who've been through this!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pam
