The bedroom makeover

Standing in the bedroom looking into the closet. The original red carpeting dominated the room and was a strange combination with the yellow walls.

New floors changed everything! Here Annabelle watches John install our Vineyard Cherry planks from Costco.

Voila!

Of course, the bedroom is still home to my library and art supplies.

The bed. One of my favorite spots in the house!

Looking out the window to the backyard. Overgrown geraniums are taking over the path.

Turning around we see into the bathroom.

This old style tub is a favorite of Annabelle's.

A colleague walked into my class in the middle of a lesson one morning smiling, "I've got a surprise for you!" In front of thirty children I opened the bag and found the deer skull! Super fun! (Now he watches us in the bathroom.)

Other parts of my growing bone collection on the vanity counter. The skulls of a beaver and a black headed parrot. Jawbone, hip bone and scapula of a buffalo. Antlers around the side of the plant, and some gorgeous coral from a fun shop in the city.

I love this home.
