Back on December 31, 2009 I decided to make a goal for the year - one that I could achieve, maintain, and be excited about. I thought we desperately needed a bedroom makeover, and this would be the PERFECT way to get myself (and vince) motivated to take on the task. So from January until April - I planned, shopped, measured, and prepared for the weekend of April 24th when this magical transformation would take place.
Secondly...my ghetto-rific "vanity" - which essentially was an IKEA computer desk with a mirror mounted above it. vince and i both hated how my stuff was all out on diplay, I had little storage, and it just looked awful. super sophisticated, i know. as a side note - halas the dog is so pretty!
Thirdly....although I loved the color on the walls, I struggled finding bedding that coordinated with the wall color & the white furniture....it is a tricky combination for sure...i think the wall color would have looked better furniture that was made of actual wood...
Easter weekend vince and I went to IKEA, purchased a few key pieces of furniture to go along with the new items that I previously gathered for the room....so we were all set! For the walls we decided to go with Restoration Hardware's "Cappuccino" in subtle velvet...the paint is simply phenomenal...low VOC and the coverage is amazing!
The makeover has definitely inspired us to "rethink" the other rooms in our little space...the whole process was so fun and challenging! Wonder what we will do next?
