Re-decorating in Annette Ville

It has been a busy time at home. Now that Mark is in Hawaii we have redecorated his room. Jay painted last weekend and this weekend we made the headboard, got two new lamps, and new bedspread and pillow shams. We are in the proces of figuring out what will hang on the walls.

See our new headboard? It is made of plywood, covered with thick foam: the middle panel is covered in a textured gold fabric, the side panels are black, and between the panels we added black and garnet colored trim. Hubby added some crown molding along the top with a shelf - painted bright white to match the room's trim.

Here is a close up of the headboard details:

We are having all of Mark's Cross-Country and Track ribbons mounted in a shadow box to display on one wall above his XC & Track trophys.

We are now in the process of culling through old photographs to display on the larger wall. Old photographs include our grandparents, great-grandparents, and our parents. Love the look of these old photos as we've begun spreading them out on the bed to arrange for hanging.

New window valance, new lamp, & hubby's childhood desk:

One thing we've put on the wall above the closet, as our guests lie in bed they will see this sign our daughter gave us:

I'll update as we progress in the guestroom and get pictures and accesories added!!
