Bedroom Refresh Reveal

The day is finally here… the reveal of our bedroom refresh! If you missed it, you can see my original plans here. I’ll admit, I strayed from the original plans slightly and this so called “refresh” turned into more of a full blown makeover. As I began tackling this project, I really started to think about what to do to make this room more comfortable and functional. I love antiques and knick knacks, but in this small room, it just makes it seem cluttered. So, I started to simplify. That meant getting rid of the catch all gallery wall, removing the bulky antique piece in the corner, and only putting pieces in this room that I truly love.

So, how about some before pictures?

This is what our room looked like last March after my first bedroom reveal. Sure, it looks a little better. Got some fresh paint on the wall, but if I’m being completely honest, this space still didn’t work for us. We still didn’t have enough storage for our clothes and although the nice, bright white quilt was an affordable bedding option at the time, we nearly froze to death every night.

And this is what our room looked like a little over two months ago. I guess you could say this is my “I’m over it, but I’m not quite ready to take the makeover plunge look.”

Here she is y’all!

That wall. Can we just talk about that for a sec? I had originally planned on using a stencil, but at nearly $50 for a stencil plus shipping, I had to come up with another plan. I attempted to make my own stencil out of a plastic table mat, but the pattern didn’t look quite good enough for an entire wall. Then I thought, why don’t I just tape it off? How hard could it be, right? Wrong! I started this wall, this ONE wall on Saturday and it took me until Monday evening to complete it. And the really really sad part was when I finally finished, I stepped back, gave it a long hard look, and all I could think was “hmm, I don’t know if I like this” Wah, wah, wah. I liked the pattern, but the gold paint I used looked orange against the black. So, about a month later, I swallowed my pride and repainted all the stripes using my favorite Martha Stewart’s gilding paint. Luckily, I didn’t have to re-tape anything and it only took about 2 hours to do. Now I can say that I really love it and I think it makes such a huge impact instead of just a bare black wall.

Ever since I put this chair in our room, Baby cannot get enough of it. She has good taste, what can I say?!?

There ya have it gang! I hope you all have enjoyed our room reveal and thank you so much to Rustoleum for providing paint for this project!Linking up here, here, here, and here!
