I've decided "before" decorating shots are for the birds. They are an embarrassment. In my defense (a pathetic defense, at best) I was already in the process of dismantling the room when I thought to take a "before" photo of the room. Still, when I look at this photo I can't help but think to myself "What took you so long?" Sometimes, you just get used to your surroundings, and it doesn't occur to you that a change is in order. Anyway... the good news is I have a beautiful new room that reflects much more of who we are right now...
