A little house fixer-upper

We have been trying to get a few house projects done. Richard painted the dresser (for $40 bucks from a garage sale) and hung the pottery barn ledge frames for me. I added in the artwork from the boys for now until we find (or create) the perfect art. Here is a before and after of that space.

This is the blank wall leaving our bedroom...It is tricky because of the vent and the wall switch. I wanted to put a bookshelf here, but cannot find anything that is the right dimension, so Richard hung up the little shelves we had in Redondo... I have to unpack the box of framed photos that I have and will post a photo of that as soon as I find the box of photos in the basement!
