Master Bedroom Makeover: Our Renovation Before & After

When nosotros starting fourth dimension establish our 1970's fixer-upper, I savage inwards beloved amongst the main sleeping accommodation the infinitesimal I saw it. It was actually ugly at first, but it didn't thing to me. I could come across through the outdated colors too woodwork.
I saw potential.
This is the story of how I completely overhauled our sleeping accommodation on a actually tiny budget. Let's laid out amongst a await at the earlier picture. 





And hither is the main sleeping accommodation today. 

I did this entire room for nether $500. The solely thing I bought retail was the bedding too the rug. The balance came from a thrift store, garage sale, or was made yesteryear hand. 
And I completely updated the entire room amongst paint.
This room had hence much outdated wooden trim down that I used to refer to it every bit the wooden dungeon. It only felt night too depressing. I'm certain my awesome slice of furniture didn't assistance matters much, either. 



I painted all of the trim down too doors inwards the room white, which made such a huge difference, too and hence I painted the walls amongst a warm beige. 
See trim down icon tutorial here too pigment colors here.

I also rearranged the layout of the room. The bed was previously betwixt the ii cupboard doors (closet makeover seen here), but in that place wasn't actually plenty room. So, I moved the bed over to or hence other wall, too seat the dresser where the bed used to be.

  

There were tons of diy projects that went into the making of this room. One of my favorites is the headboard I made out of or hence plywood, foam, upholstery fabric, too nailhead trim.

For my starting fourth dimension endeavor at a DIY headboard, I think it turned out pretty cool. 
See my tips on making a headboard here. 

I trimmed the entire headboard amongst nailhead trim down that I bought yesteryear the yard here (affiliate link). I absolutely beloved buying nailhead trim down yesteryear the yard. It's hence much easier than using private nailheads for your trim. Rather than hammering inwards every unmarried nail, you lot solely induce got to hammer inwards 1 out of every 5. It's genius.

Other than the headboard, all of the slice of furniture inwards the room came from a thrift store. It wasn't inwards my budget to acquire all novel things, hence I had to improvise. I establish several pieces that had a peachy shape, too I painted them amongst my favorite shade of white paint. 
See my top 10 slice of furniture makeovers (along amongst mistakes to avoid when icon furniture) here.

My favorite exceptional inwards the room is this french provincial dresser that I establish for $50 at a thrift store. 

I gave it a few coats of pigment too accessorized it amongst a peachy mirror that I establish at a local preserve store. 
To genuinely appreciate this dresser, you lot induce got to come across the before picture.

I included a few other thrifty finds similar a gilt mirrored tray, an orchid, too a brass too lucite lamp.

I decided to acquire out the hardware every bit it was, but I painted the insides of the drawers to build this dresser experience build new.  See to a greater extent than information almost icon drawers here.

Another exceptional I painted was this vanity. It was a thrift shop uncovering every bit well, too subsequently a coat of paint, or hence gilt stenciling, too a freshly upholstered stool, it feels build new. I also added a mirror that I updated amongst or hence gilt spray paint. 
See my tried too truthful spray icon tips here.

I beloved the way the gilt stencil makes this ordinary slice of slice of furniture kinda special. It was actually slowly to do, too actually takes the whole thing upwards a notch.

The bedding too carpet were the solely new, shop bought additions to the whole bedroom. I e'er to become 'new' amongst that sort of thing. The white striped duvet encompass is from Target, the euro shams were from Marshall's, too the floral carpet was from Home Depot. 

 I establish an one-time brass chandelier at a thrift store. I needed something to supplant the disgusting chocolate-brown ceiling fan! It's a picayune besides big, but nevertheless an improvement. I'm nevertheless searching for something better.
See what I ended upwards amongst here.

As you lot tin see, the entrance to the room is flanked yesteryear gorgeous french doors. There is a whole other room on the other side that nosotros induce got yet to figure out a role for. 

There's also a large walk inwards cupboard that is behind those ii doors yesteryear the white dresser, which you lot tin come across the amount tour of here. 

And come across that picayune side room?




Here's what that room used to await like. I painted the entire room amount of flooring to ceiling woods paneling the same way I painted the trim. It wasn't fun, but I did it.

And that my friends is how I updated our main sleeping accommodation on a tiny budget!

Just remember, no thing how much or how picayune coin you lot have, you lot can build your line of piece of work solid special on a shoestring budget. Sometimes, it only agency you lot induce got to wander into thrift stores, build your ain stuff, and larn how to occupation a pigment brush. I build a lot of decorating mistakes along the way, too am e'er learning every bit I go. I'm certain this room volition become through hence many to a greater extent than changes! 

Don't forget to pivot this post hence you'll induce got this information when you lot ask it!
