One New Years Resolution - Check

So as promised in my last post, we finished our first house project of the year! I wanted to decorate our guest bedroom and when I first started out I wanted a pieced-together, eclectic, cottage look. Well I changed my mind before I really finished the first idea, realizing that really wasn't the look I wanted for that room. After searching the inner depths of my soul, I decided I wanted a more traditional yet cozy decor. It took us three weeks from start to finish and we learned how to install wainscoting, chair rail, crown molding, and case in a window - we could practically work at Home Depot now :)
