I am non equipped inwards whatsoever agency to nation yous how to decorate a bedroom, but what I tin nation yous is that decorating is a process. At to the lowest degree for me. I create, I tweak, I redo, I tear down, I repaint, together with and thus I pose it all dorsum together. I've done this many times, together with I'll in all likelihood practise it many more.
I started a pair of weeks agone yesteryear redoing our headboard, together with it kinda snowballed from there. I'll practise a quick tutorial on the headboard for yous tomorrow, thus today I'll merely present yous the entire sleeping room together with all of the bazillion piffling things I've changed since yous finally saw this room here.
First things first, I was tired of my get-go travail at a DIY headboard. It was gold, a piffling also large for our queen bed, together with quite frankly a piffling sad. So, I decided to purpose the leftovers from this project, together with purpose a dropcloth to reupholster my headboard. So, I ripped all of the one-time stuff off together with had the hubby cutting the plywood into a dissimilar shape. This lil' guy was shortly created. (Again, to a greater extent than details to follow tomorrow)
I also brought inwards the tufted ottoman from the living room to attempt it out inwards here. I actually desire a bench at the cease of our bed, together with decided to attempt this guy out for a field thus I tin figure out what size/shape/material volition operate best. He plant best inwards the living room, thus he'll become habitation soon.
Most of the bedding stayed the same....white striped duvet comprehend together with shams (P.S. everyone ever asks me if all of the white drives me nuts. Answer: Nope...not at all. We conduct maintain two cats together with things definitely instruct dirt on them all the time. That's what bleach is for!)
One affair I did modify though, was the bedskirt. The one-time i was gold, together with really pretty, but I'm done amongst gold. (Which is funny since finally calendar month I was literally spray epitome silvery things gold. Sigh.).
I also pose the novel drop cloth chair together with ottoman inwards the 'office area'. See that giant grayish splotch of pigment inwards there? Yes, that's me testing out the pigment inwards that room. I don't intend I'm going inwards that direction anymore. But I had to exam it out to run into if I liked it. Turns out I don't.
I also brought inwards the carpet that was i time inwards the office. I'm thinking that won't last, every bit I similar the other i better. I'm merely trying things out. :) One twenty-four hr catamenia at that topographic point volition live nighttime hardwood floors inwards this entire room amongst a large giant cushy carpet on top....so my teeny carpet switcharoos are small term.
I also reupholstered the vanity stool amongst leftover bluish taffeta that I used for the living room pillows here, together with and thus also spray painted the tabular array hardware black. I spray painted all of the hardware inwards the room black.....even the pall rods! Oh, together with I switched out the curtains too, opting for enterprise white rather than sheer ivory.
Speaking of hardware...
I spray painted the handles on my favorite dresser black, together with those icky brass doorknobs are close to instruct the same treatment. *Update: run into what I did to the doorknobs here. They're thus much amend now!
Oh, together with I also added a pair piffling silvery trinkets my grandmother gave me. (above)
Then, I brought dorsum inwards my $7 Florida thrift shop lamps, spray painted silvery together with spruced upward amongst modern drum shades. You never know what treasures yous volition honor on vacation.
Oh, yeah....and forgot to hollo the pillows. We all know I'm obsessed amongst pillows, thus hither goes:
I brought inwards those dark-green & aqua embroidered pillows from the one-time living room, together with and thus made that striped bolster pillow. I used apparently white cloth together with painters record together with painted those stripes on amongst some leftover interior paint.
Not bad for a costless pillow. If yous sand the pigment later it dries, it's actually soft.
Now let's accept a quick spin some the room, looking towards the sitting room (behind those french doors). I haven't fifty-fifty begun on that room yet. I'm rather puzzled close it. One twenty-four hr catamenia shortly I'll post pics together with run into if whatsoever of ya'll tin give me some advice!
and straightaway dorsum the other way. Behind those double doors (in the epitome below) is our closet. I conduct maintain them unopen because it is i of my electrical current projects I am working on....no peeking!!!
Okay, thus actually quick, let's compare where it was together with where it was now, thus yous tin run into how far it's come.
