Hey! I have a quick update post for you today. I switched our bedroom with my beauty room. I thought that it made better use of the space. You know me. Always and forever rearranging everything. So you know I had to give you peak. Once I get things a little more in order/replace some pieces, I will make a full a post about the whole room. I also finally finished the boardwalk painting, and I haven't shown it off yet. So that is a bonus. (If you are interested, you can see what the room looked like before I changed it HERE.)
I kept with the same theme as before; the beach compromise theme. Jereme likes a beach themed room and I like... other things. Ha. The only thing I so wish I could add would be fresh greenery. I LOVE greenery. I just haven't figured out a way to keep it in a way the cats can't destroy. The eat EVERYTHING, even fake plants. My Little Rose is a jumper/climber, so I even feel that hanging greenery would be a no go.
I love to thrift, re-purpose, up-cycle, and hand-make as much as I can when it comes to decor. Things such as the rosette garland, the scripture paintings, and the chair were all products of that. I think that it personalizes the space so much more than just buying what is in style. I painted the scripture signs before I knew anything about hand lettering. I know that I could do so much better now, but they have been with us since our first apartment together, so I don't want to get rid of them. In the last post, I mentioned how I made the paper rosette garland and I snapped the whole process of me recovering the chair. Pro-tip: use drop cloth. It is durable, easy to clean, and inexpensive. It looks great too. Another pro-tip, get a fluffy cat. They make everything better. Ha.
I know I have said it before, but I love to use natural textures in my decor. Most of which you will NOT find at a big box store. Like my stump side "table" and my old window "headboard". I had a tiny problem though. There are no drawers on the stump. I don't know about you, but I keep a lot of "junk" by bed. I like my room to be functional. At the same time I do not like seeing the packages of face wipes, creams, and "junk", that one would usually keep beside a bed, out in the open. So I used the trunk to hide it all. I call it my treasure trunk. I like hiding the functional side of the room. It just looks better and helps keep you organized.
I have linked some of the bedroom basics below that can help to recreate this feel for your own space. I know a ton of if can't be bought, but I hope my room has inspired you none the less. Even if this is totally not your style, I hope it helps you to think outside of the box. I certainly do. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I finally finished the boardwalk painting. I love waking up to a little glimpse of beach every morning.
See, get a cat. It makes everything better.
