Final Trading Spaces Post

Ok, so I finally got over to take photos of my friends completed home…the 2nd of the Trading Spaces houses:

The piece of furniture they built! It looks great…not sure if you can see in the picture, but there are lots of little details (like the one on the upper left on the ceiling). It did have a refrigerator and microwave in there, but she has removed it because the kids aren’t allowed to eat in that room!
This is the other side of the room. Long drapes make the windows look bigger and they framed them all out in wood. She loves the tables, that are also storage and footstools.
This picture is fuzzy, but the art at the end was the “craft” – they all did an image they thought she’d like from around her house. The couch folds out into a bed.

Anyway, in the end, theyboth had a great time and would recommend it to anyone!
