Well peeps, I’m out. Of the bedroom contest, that is. The finalists have been announced and the rooms are exquisite. See here. So I can finally reveal my bedroom. But, of course I’m going to keep you in suspense. Just one more DIY makeover project before I give you the full enchilada.
Our room needed major storage so I decided to use some chest of drawers as our bedside tables. For months I searched garage sales, thrift stores and Craigslist looking for matching drawers but found nada. On a whim I visited an unfinished wood furniture store and found exactly what I was looking for and for a great price. These twins are made of solid wood too.
You can see them better here in their unfinished state.
AFTER.
New paint, new hardware, new look.
Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
Georgeous! I love your color scheme. It’s so unexpected in a bedroom. (Caitlin Creer Interiors post today is about these colors.)
so pretty! that hardware makes all the difference!
Beautiful!!!
Wow! I love what I have seen so far. So since you are done with your room will you come help me with mine? mine is sooo bad, I dislike it so much I spend as minimum amount of time in it as possible and dont even make my bed because I don’t have a bedspread I like 🙁 Help!!
Divine…I’m looking forward to the whole reveal.
You seriously amaze the heck out of me!!! Love, love, love, your style!
