If you’ve been following my blog you’ve seen a couple other posts about my master bedroom. Including how to make Framed out Walls, make a Framed Corkboard, and Mix old & new furniture. And now I’ve finally gotten around to taking new pics of the finished bedroom and wanted to share the entire transformation with you!
Here’s the “before”. Teal & Brown stuff that I had for about 5 years in 3 different places we lived!
Husband wasn’t sold on buying all new furniture (which I can’t blame him for<–that gets pricey!) so I found these amazing vintage night stands at an antique store for only $40 each!! They are a grayish color despite the poor quality of these pictures below.
I used ice cube trays to store all my jewelry in my new night stands! Love this organization trick!
The only other piece of furniture I REALLY wanted was an upholstered bed. They are just so regal and classy to me. Joss and main has bed events frequently and I scored this one for $650.
My sketch of the idea I had for the molding and then the actual dimensions. See the full tutorial here.
Taping off and painting. I couldn’t wait to hang my starburst mirror, either. It’s from Home Depot, though they don’t carry it anymore. Really similar ones can be found at Home Goods and Kirkland’s.
The wall opposite the bed felt neglected and I’m a HUGE fan of symmetry so I decided to give it the same fair treatment!
Here’s the light upgrade I did by the closets. The husband was not compromising on the fan in the bedroom. I kind of agree with him that a fan is best in the bedroom even though I wanted a chandelier really, really bad!
Painted the doors black! Very bold, rich and unique if you ask me!
Framed out a cork board from Target to hang pictures and jewelry on. See the full tutorials with supplies here!
Upgraded all the knobs on my Ikea Hemnes dressers to tie them in with my antique night stands. Scored these knobs at Lowe’s for just over $1! See the full post on blending old and new furniture here.
