Small Bedroom Before/After

Howdy! I'm glad you're here.  
This post probably contains run-on sentences, sentence fragments, 
affiliate links, and unnecessary ellipses.  If none of that bothers you, let's be friends.

The last day of my 12 day posting streak has arrived!  Since it has literally been a year this month since I finished sprucing it up, I felt like it was juuuuuuust about time I did a before/after of the small bedroom upstairs, which the two boys currently share, even though I haven't managed to get good pictures of it Blog Reveal Clean.  If it hasn't happened yet, I guess it's never gonna happen, huh?  So you're gonna get photos of unmade beds and clothes spilling out of bins.  It hurts a little, I'll be honest.

It is a tiny room, but it's cozy and loved by all despite (because of?) its quirkiness.

Here is the photo that was in the original real estate listing we saw for the house.  The wide-angle lens makes you think it's some kind of normal size but really, no.  It is itty bitty. 

that's a twin sized bed there on the right

Here's what the wall color looked like in beautiful light with a fancy camera...


But really it had a more orange-y, southwestern flare (to match those 80s light fixtures on either side of the window maybe?), which you can see better here.
The trim and door had already blessedly been painted white, so all I had to do was to slap up some wall paint, change the wall light fixtures, switch to a smaller ceiling fan, and put up some drapes.  Et voila!

crib on the left, bunkbeds on the right


(our master bedroom is the only one with an actual closet.  The kids' rooms both have these open bars + shelves happening.  Probably something to do with making them official bedrooms for real estate purposes or something?)


All these pictures with messy beds and stuff shoved in corners are a definite exercise in humility.  We just can't seen to manage to get better than this these days! I just wanted to show you how these super short bunkbeds are PERFECT for these low ceilings.)

  2. Where did the super short bunk beds come from? I have small bedrooms and the regular bunks seem to take it over!

  5. Will you put Helen in that crib and have a mixed-gender room for a while? Great color choice and drapes in the room. I would probably not have thought about putting in a smaller ceiling fan--good call.

    Do you want more questions? :)

    1. I think eventually, yes. For a while Paul, Ceci, and Mary shared a room until JC and Paul could move in together. Now it's set up with 2 beds and a crib anyway, so we might as well use them!

      Yes pleeeeeeeeeease more questions would be awesome :)

  15. Some FICO hackers will delay you; some will scam you, but here is how I got my FICO score to 805 excellent score from as low 500, due to my diabetic condition I got a setback on my payments owing to medical bills, my world started falling apart because I wanted to rent a home and take some loans but couldn’t. I kept looking for someone who could help me fix my credit to no avail, until October last year when I met DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION through a friend whom they had worked for. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION boosted my credit in 6 days and restored my dignity. I was able to purchase a home. You can contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM OR Call +1 (713) 396-5299. Only DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION can do it for you.

  16. Hi all! I’m 29 years old. My credit started to tank around 2021 when expenses were outpacing my income. I got a lot of loan offers and foolishly took them, adding more expenses to my income. Didn’t help that I was in a relationship with someone who I greatly outnumbered and took on the burden of the bills to seem fair. Won’t be doing that again. I had a lot of collections and charge-offs from personal loans and CCs. From looking at my Experian I had several charge-offs that became collections and few that didn’t. Which all brought down my credit score to a low 586 score. I needed advice on rebuilding my score back to 700s. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION came through for me, my credit report cleaned up with all negative entries removed; charge-ffs and collections wiped out. Now: Jan 2024 my score is Equifax 801| TransUnion 808| Experian 811. Yes, it feels good to have a worthy credit profile. I want to use this time to appreciate DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION for bringing me out of a bad credit report that made my life miserable. My goal is to also obtain higher limits 5K-10K on CC which has finally been achieved. I’m happy to have come across DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION here, you can contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM Or text 1+ (713) 396 5299.

  17. In Oct-Nov I rented a storage unit from public storage with the intention of it being held for a month. In December I left for vacation. The situation changed during that time so I would need it for 3-4 months. My business partner assumed I had payments handled, I assumed it was handled or on autopay and everyone just forgot about this unit that I stupidly opened under my personal name. Account was never placed on autopay; the rep opened the account and put the wrong phone number when we signed up and all emails ended up in our assistant’s spam box. Long story short, the unit was auctioned and a couple hundred dollars’ worth of debt in fees etc. were accumulated besides the 2 months that were not paid. Public storage sold the debt to a collection agency (Allied Interstate) who told me I had until 2/14 to respond to DV. This situation caused damage to my score. My Fico 8’s was in the mid-500's and I do have some baddies (90 days on multiple student loans from 2018/2019) and a couple of charge offs from that same period but I don’t have any collection accounts. It’s been years since I’ve made a careless mistake like this, and I was really looking forward to getting my credit back to standard. I decided to go through online and luckily for me I came across DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION. I have no other option than to give him a try, he told me he’ll fix my credit report within 8 days. He succeeded in raising my score to 811 excellent score and he also helped me delete negative items impacting my credit report. DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION is the best and swift. Contact him by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / +1 713 396 5299.

  18. Hello! I’m Grace, my experience working with DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION has been outstanding. I was at 561 Equifax, 563 TransUnion. I had 1 collection a year 2 months with a balance of 585, 2 charge offs one at BOA CC at $1,228 closed June 22 was still being reported as of 01/24, SYNCB/PP at $1534 closed on 07/22 last reported Dec 23. I was depressed, my mom had cancer, but I recently graduated college and just found a decent paying job. Didn’t know what step to take to get my credit back on track. I was introduced by my realtor agent Daniel. I must confess I had a bad experience in the past with different agencies trying to clear my credit. I have gained good credit ever since I started working with DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION. My credit score has been raised to 808 Experian, 801 Equifax and 806 TransUnion within 8 days. Thanks to my realtor Daniel for recommending DOVLY CREDIT SOLUTION to me. Contact them by email: DOVLYCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM / Phone +1 (713) 396-5299.

  19. I was lucky to find PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and they raised my credit from 580 to 801. Also, my parents have no established credit reporting. They went bankrupt like 15 years back. I started planning to help them rebuild their credit. Made them credit karma accounts, my dad’s was not reporting anything on TU but Equifax was showing 563, Experian 549 with one closed account, JCPenny from 1995. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for the help, he also helped my parents raise their credit score to over 240 points and he made sure he deleted all negative items on their credit profile. I now have 100k in credit limit and plenty of massive cards that I now use very carefully, don’t miss payment. My parents are now financially safe. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for your help! Here is his contact info: pinnaclecreditspecialist@gmail.com / +1 (409) 231 0041.

  20. Today I called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST and asked to have my BK7 removed from my CR, and they did. It was scheduled to fall off next year. So that’s that. A horrible chapter in my life but I’ve come out on top. So much wiser, better prepared for the future, and peace of mind where finances are concerned. Thanks to this forum and the good folks that spend their time here to share their experience and share the knowledge they got from PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. Thank you PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for all your assistance, guidance and cheerleading. Especially in the early days of my rebuild. With my scores now in the 800’s I’m tempted to app just to know I’d likely be approved, but there’s nothing I need right now. A sincere thanks to all of you! Contact them by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM / Or call +1 (409) 231-0041.
