The trim (Behr ultra bright white satin) took two coats. This time (unlike the living room) I completed the windows.

All that remained after that was to put up new curtain rods, hang the window treatments (white sheers and off-white velvet drapes) and put new door knobs on the coat closet.

Total redecorating cost: $158.37. Not too bad for all that.

I finally hung the pictures (they weren’t up yet in this picture) and the room definitely looks finished now. My Rosa Bonheur “The Horse Fair” etching looks absolutely wonderful over the server, and the wonderful South Mountain photos by Denise Pearson Federico go just perfectly with the color scheme. I love finding the perfect spot for art work, and this room has become a home to quite a few pieces.

And you know what, it’s my new favorite room of the house.
