Here's the before pics of my soon-to-be-library. It was our girls' room as they were growing up, and most recently Robbie and Kasi's room. It's soon to be my Ma'am Cave.  lol.  I want to make it look forest-y. The walls have been painted stone gray, and there will be some brown, and plenty of green. I plan to print and frame a bunch of photos I love - that I have taken and that I just found and like, and cover the walls with art. And book cases.
 The design painted on the wall was put there by our daughter Yvonne, when she was about 15. Her dad was horrified to learn it was painted directly on the wall!  I love it and have painted around it. I may even find a way to frame it.
When it's finished, I will show you!  It's going to be beautiful....
