Do over: new photos of an old before and after

Now that we are taking such nice photos of spaces I have worked on, I CAN'T BELIEVE the horrible quality of what I have shared here in the past.

So, while it's not as exciting as a brand new "after," I do feel compelled to share images that do this space justice.  This is a tween girl's room I finished almost 2 years ago!

I loved selecting artwork for this room on a "swim" theme for this committed swimmer.  The pieces are all about girls swimming, but they aren't "sporty" and are varied in their feeling.  One of my favorite things about the room!

(Also feel compelled to point out that I did not style the bulletin board.  I love how she has it--real, casual, and personal.  This shot was an afterthought--Dave caught me taking a photo like this for instagram, and came back to shoot it for real even though we had moved on to other spaces.  It turned out to be my favorite shot from the day!)

(Love this: the wallpaper hanger used the leftovers from papering the cove ceiling to do the inset panel on the back of the doors!)
