Ok peeps...big news. We have a new bed.
Our old bed was a traditional pillow top, spring mattress. We really loved it.
Unfortunately, after the first year that mattress that we paid $1900. for began to develop deep body impressions
(permanent indentations in the mattress) and they just got worse as the years went on.
If you rolled in the middle of the bed, it felt like you were high-centered.
You almost had to roll back down and position yourself in to an impression otherwise you were

Voting is officially open for the FrogTape Paintover Challenge until June 9th! Please head on over there and vote. If my space wills I get to donate $5000. to the American Cancer Society.
You saw how we made over the living room and kitchen...we decided to also tackle the bedroom (which is not apart of the contest).
The great thing this space has going for it is that it is rather spacious.
As you can see it's a mod-podge of stuff and the walls were very bland.
The first thing we did
Apartment Makeover with Frog Tape – The Reveal.
For the past month we've taken you along our journey as we given our basement apartment a makeover with the help of FrogTape.

Just because you live in an apartment does NOT mean you can't add personality with paint.
Instead of painting the actual walls, we painted two floor-to-ceiling IKEA panels with a
Desk Makeover with Milk Paint.
To be a true DIY'er you have to be able to say you've every kind of paint out there. The one paint I hadn't ever experimented with is milk paint.
Until now.

New art for our walls
When I was growing up my dad had classic art pieces by famous artists on his walls. I never appreciated the art. I thought they were old and stuffy. Then when my dad moved all the art came down and walls felt empty and dull. We sold all the art at a garage sale. To this day I regret letting those beautiful art pieces go for just a few dollars. Art gives life and energy to room and effects the way people feel.
Recently, a few of my walls got some new pieces from Artfully Walls.

Apartment Makeover with FrogTape – Painting
We're moving right along with our FrogTape Paintover Challenge Basement Makeover. Last week we showed your our design patterns we created with FrogTape. This week our taped up pieces received a coat of paint.
The fun part is getting to paint then peel back the tape. I tested every variety of paint with the FrogTape to see just how good it worked.
