I finished most of my projects! Here is the set of Before and After photos of my bedroom, bathroom and closet.

I am making a headboard this summer, so that will be added to the room when it's completed!

I'm going to chime in with the rest...don't paint it. I worked in an office that had white painted brick, and it was peeling off in places and the owner had it sand-blasted to remove the paint. Once he did that the mortar wasn't quite the same and it left a lot of residue. However once he removed it the space looked 100% better.

SeattleMama,

I am too a little behind on the cleaning aspect. I get totally focused in on the organizing and purging I forget I should also be cleaning.

For you I would definitely focus on decluttering and organizing in preparation for your move. Maybe not organizing within your space...but organizing within containers and giving things "homes" so when it comes to packing and unpacking you'll know where things are.

I finally cleared EVERYTHING out from underneath my bed! To do that I basically needed to clean out and reorganize my other closet...but I didn't mind. It helped me purge alot more things I don't need.

How fun you are on a house barge!

I liked ptowntara's idea of hanging them on the posts. You could do that, or lean some of them up against the window.

On the opposite wall in between the small windows, I feel like could use a larger piece of art, or a mirror to help open that wall up since the windows are small.

Looks like your ceiling is exposed wood? You could mat the prints with white, and use wooden frames to bring out the color in the ceiling.

I would love any feedback people may have on a few dilemmas:

1. How to spruce up my bedroom drapes? The brown is too matchy-matchy. Any suggestions?

2. What to do with a large wall in the bedroom. I once had a large collection of photographs here...but got tired of it, and the frames didn't go with the decor.

3. Removing stand-alone towel rack in attached bathroom. Has anyone had any experience with wet towels affecting a wall?

Here is my progress photos:

Nice work on the office MondernMonkey! I have decided to do my Bedroom for this CURE, but next up is my office for sure. Thanks for sharing photos as well, it's always good to see what others have been doing.

I think I had that humpty dumpty lamp as a kid! I remember playing with the arms...they were attached with elastic I think. Or maybe they were just broken. :) Brings back so many memories!

I have a jewelry stand/tree I bought from Urban Outfitters that I use to hang my necklaces from. My earrings/rings I keep in a jewelry box from West Elm...however I think I'm out growing it!

I've been looking for a similar mirror! I love it.
