Hey y’all! Hope you’re all having a great week. Mine has been a little rough. We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Lola. She was our furry baby and it was devastating to have to let her go. But I won’t dwell on that. I just want to say that we are so thankful to have been blessed with her in our lives and we SO appreciate all the kind words and prayers from everyone.
Anyway, I had been planning to give our bedroom a much needed freshening up and after what happened this week it seemed like the perfect time to just get in there and get it done. It was a GREAT distraction. There are still a few more things I want to do, like paint a white wall, add some artwork, and add a new light fixture and some accessories. But I did get a lot done and now it feels fresh and crisp. Exactly what we needed.
Check out these before pictures.
This is what I’ve done so far.
- Painted the bamboo chair in white and gold. Covered the seat cushion in a grey/white greek key fabric.
- Reupholstered the headboard in a bright white fabric and added a nailhead trim. I used a table cloth from Target.
- Replaced the wooden storage bench with an upholstered ottoman.
- Pulled the white duvet cover from the guest room and kept the Nate Berkus indigo pillow shams. (If you’ve been following for a while then you know I was determined to use some of that indigo blue bedding).
- Added one of my DIY Gold Painted Pillows along with some other new and old toss pillows.
- Added a new rug from Garden Ridge.
- Hung a set of mirrors above the bed. I found those at Target. I was trying to create the illusion of a taller headboard.
I totally believe that if you make your home a happier place you’ll be a happier person. That was pretty much the goal this week, to make our home a happy place to be.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a beautiful weekend!
Linking up to some fab linky parties this week.

Love, love, love that bamboo chair, Stephanie!
Thanks Jenna! I found it in a thrift store last year in Florida. Finally got around to doing something with it.
I love it! Everything about this room is perfect. I’d love for you to link up to The DIY’ers. http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-diyers-and-last-weeks-top-three.html

Sooo Dreamy! Can I come visit??? :) Michelle
Thanks Michelle!!!
Beautiful! Do you mind my asking where you got the ottoman? I’m hunting for one. :)
Hey Rachel! Thanks, still some things I want to do in there. I found the ottoman at Marshall’s. I totally lucked out, it was a clearance item and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Good luck with your search!

Thanks SO MUCH Amber!! So excited!!
What an amazing transformation, absolutely love those mirrors above the headboard! Wish we had target in the UK.
Thanks Sammi! I wish you did too, you would LOVE it.
You did a great job – I have been doing similar simple projects around my house. You photos give me great inspiration. Love the rug you chose. Have not been in Garden Ridge for a long time, do they have a good selection? Prices?
Thanks so much Lynn! I think Garden Ridge has a pretty good selection on most things. Great artwork, lamps, rugs, and accent furniture. Oh, and holiday decor. Their bedding selection isn’t great and I think the accessories are hit or miss. But the prices are pretty good overall. I only paid around $50.00 for the rug and it has held up great so far.
Have you been working on a bedroom makeover too?
Thanks for stopping by!
