While You Were Out

Remember that show?  It was on TLC; they would send a person away for a couple of days and redecorate a room for them all without that individual knowing.  Well Jacob and family conducted their own version for me!!  I planned the trip to Seattle in November and Jacob decided to use that time to redo our master bedroom.  I have forever wanted a bedroom set but it seemed we could never quite afford the furniture.  Jacob schemed to invite family and friends to give money for our birthday gifts to go towards some new bedroom furniture and a decorating overhaul.  Then right after I left on Friday the fun began:

Before:
 Dad worked for a couple of weeks on sanding and painting a new dresser for me and then on the weekend of the re-do sanded and painted 2 night stands
 Jeff installed 4 can lights to replace the ugly track lighting we lived with for 3 years
 Garrett painting
 Remmy helping to put the bed together
 Happy the cable works
 Adding a little color to our roman shades
 Sweet Caleb; he was well taken care of 
 Crystal designed the room and helped to keep everyone on track with a check list
Ashley assembling the new lamps

After: 
The white dresser Jacob bought and then my dad and Paul painted (Ashley and Paul housed the dresser so I would not see it) and art work from Mike and Lyndzie

 New bed frame, duvet, lamps, and re-painted night stands from above picture

I feel so blessed to have such a loving family that would dedicate their entire weekend (plus) to this project.  I love you all and am forever grateful.
Here is my reaction:
