Before & After, part 2

(Part 1 here).  I wanted some red to spice up the living room and here’s what I envisioned:

I ended up with pretty much exactly that:

I wanted healthy plants atop the kitchen cabinets:

But I never did do that:

In the master bedroom I wanted balloon shades on the windows and to get the poster print nicely framed:

I got valances for the four windows, but no framing:

I knew some fabric in the form of a bath curtain would cozy up the master bath:

I love it:

And I love my bath buddy:

In the end it was nice to have goals for the look of the rooms here but I’m glad we didn’t spent a lot of time or money since now we’re going to move again.  I want to stay where we move for a long, long time so there will probably be much more nesting going on there!
