Hey ya'll! First things first, give thank you lot you hence much to every unmarried someone who took the fourth dimension to electronic mail me, comment, or shipping their congratulations via social media afterward my last post. It actually meant hence much to me, as well as it totally took me past times surprise to run across how excited everyone was. I've felt a trivial downwards during this pregnancy due to beingness hence sick, as well as it was simply the boost I needed. Thank you lot guys.
So, moving on to today's topic: The main bedroom. As many of you lot know, I've blogged nearly this room a lot, by as well as large because the residual of our solid was all the same stuck inwards the 70's for the showtime 2 years of this blog. But, this calendar week I looked dorsum at my posts from 2014 as well as realized that the last fourth dimension I shared anything nearly this room was over a yr ago, right earlier nosotros started renovating the upstairs.
So, basically, my heed is blown, as well as we somehow went an entire yr without talking nearly this room.
So, it's fourth dimension for updates. Because although null major has changed, similar knocking downwards a wall or edifice a sauna, in that location receive got been a few changes that I've made to this room over the past times year.
But first, a quick reminder of what this room looked similar when nosotros showtime moved inwards almost v years ago.
This motion painting gives me a rattling well for you lot dose of perspective. Because although it's 1 of the ugliest pictures I've always taken, it reminds me that textile things don't equal happiness. Because every fourth dimension I run across this picture, I shout out upward when nosotros showtime got married as well as bought our house, as well as that was genuinely 1 of the happiest times inwards my life.
I wasn't upset past times the horrible 1970's dungeon that was my house...I was excited past times the possibilities. And that's what this photograph reminds me of...to never experience stuck past times what is, but to instead live excited past times what tin be.
And hence fast forwards to June of lastly year, as well as this is what our sleeping accommodation looked similar for nearly a month. We emptied out the sometime queen sized bed that I made as well as were waiting on the arrival of our novel bed. It ended upward taking much longer to instruct far that we'd planned, hence the room was empty for awhile.
It was a weird sleeping accommodation transition stage that I don't similar to recall.
We bought the bed online hence it was kinda a hurting to assemble, but when all was said as well as done, it turned out beautifully. Plus, Jesse assembled it, hence who am I to complain.
This Instagram pic is from 23 weeks ago. And I'm simply directly getting approximately to finally sharing the halt results amongst you lot on the blog.
It's non normal, I know.
So, here's the sleeping accommodation every bit it looks today. The alone major additions are the upholstered wingback bed, as well as 2 x-base nightstands. I also got some longer curtains as well as raised the drape rod to the ceiling. The antique carpet was given to me past times my grandma, the scalloped chandelier is from this post, as well as the artwork inwards a higher house the bed is a gilded placemat I framed inwards a Target frame.
I looked everywhere for crusade agency nightstands as well as eventually decided on these. I also added a brace mercury drinking glass lamps that I constitute at a local shop on clearance for $20 each.
Here are a few broad shots of the bedroom.
The french provincial dresser...still my best thrift shop uncovering to date.
If you're novel here, the original dresser post tin live constitute here.
And bonus, here's the original post nearly the cupboard makeover. It's a trivial outdated past times now, but you lot tin at to the lowest degree run across what's going on inwards there.
Here's the stance of the sleeping accommodation when you lot showtime walk inwards the room. I've temporarily set a trivial sofa inwards the side room.
My treadmill lives inwards there, too. And you lot instruct to run across it. Because who has fourth dimension to motion that matter for photo's sake?
And because it's adept to remember, this is what the side room looked similar v years ago.
If you're inwards a similar province of affairs and can't afford to take away your woods paneling, don't live afraid to pigment it. I had no experience whatsoever as well as all it took was a trivial query as well as a lot of elbow grease, as well as it's held upward simply fine. I used Kilz primer as well as BM Simply White apartment wall paint. That's it.
Here's a closeup of the side room today. This is all rattling temporary because I think I'm going to brand this room the nursery. At to the lowest degree for the showtime trivial while. So, the sofa volition in all probability instruct moved elsewhere as well as hence volition the treadmill.
And hence volition that horrid boob low-cal because, no.
But for the past times trivial while, it's been overnice to receive got a sofa inwards there. You may shout out upward this trivial sofa from the basement (probably not). It was slipcovered inwards a chocolate-brown slipcover as well as when nosotros gutted the basement a few months back, nosotros almost got rid of it, but I decided at the lastly infinitesimal to move past times on it as well as run across if I could utilization it elsewhere.
And Jesse was SO excited that I wanted to move past times on the sofa because underneath the slipcover was this:
The inwards a higher house pic was taken afterward I had Jesse haul it upstairs past times himself similar he was an ant.
You tin simply imagine his joy.
And as well as hence I had him motion it dorsum to the bedroom, inwards all its hot pinkish glory, because really, what practise you lot desire from me.
I couldn't purpose amongst it.
Ultimately I decided to musical note it downwards a notch as well as comprehend it amongst an off-white slipcover. I'm thinking I volition eventually motion this trivial sofa to the pes of the bed, but we'll see.
Until then, it volition simply await pretty as well as I'll experience similar a someone who tin afford to receive got a pretty trivial sofa inwards her bedroom.
But, we'll all know the existent story, you lot as well as me.
HOT PINK $50 COUCH FROM 1982.
Oh, as well as here's 1 lastly trivial broad angle...I also raised the curtains over the doors out to the deck. I don't know why, but raising the curtains to the ceiling makes such a large difference.
That drape rod is a poor spaghetti noodle, but babe steps.
And here's your yearly update on the silverish foliage vanity...still 1 of my favorite redos. I currently receive got all of my pilus materials (blow dryers, etc) inwards that wooden bin. I move past times on planning to pigment it as well as set some caster wheels on it, but it hasn't happened yet.
I've simply come upward to the receive got that this is 1 of those life phases when hanging curtains, slipcovering a tiny pinkish sofa, as well as assembling some slice of furniture takes me half-dozen months.
But, I'm working on some other rattling of import project, hence I know you lot guys volition empathise if I motion fifty-fifty slower than usual.
23 weeks today.... :)
That's all for today, ya'll! I'll live dorsum soon to part my top 10 blogging tips. It alone took me three years to finally set together a weblog post nearly blogging. :)
