Thrifty master bedroom makeover
Last month, I entered the Thrift Diving 30 day room makeover challenge. It was a lot of fun but very challenging. I decided to do my master bedroom, which was a huge decision for me because the rest of my house is not done yet.
I painted my wall a warm green color, it is from Valspar. I think it goes well with my art deco bed. Fortunately, the wood on the bed was in very good condition, so I was able to leave that as is and build the room around it. I got the picture above my bed on sale at Home Goods.
I did not change the lamps, but I painted the end table with a mixture of paints, including Modern Masters in a metallic bronze color on the top, and two different brands of chalk paint for the base. I used a crackle on the drawer fronts.
My vanity got a paint job in AS Emile, with a dark wax and old ochre drawers. It is a little too girly for me, so I will be switching it out for another vanity in a few weeks, once I can get the other one out of my garage!
The armoire turned out beautifully, although it was hard to take a picture of because of the metallic sheen I put on it. So you'll just have to take my word for that project!
I put some dried lavender into another silver plated container which reminds me of a trophy, and added an inspirational quote, because everyone needs at least one in their bedroom.
I did the same thing to the front of the dresser drawers that I did to the night stand. I used a crackle medium made by artisan enhancements. It was very easy to use.
Remember, don't always put yourself last. Kids are important but so is your well being. A well rested Mommy is always a good thing.
You must feel very proud of this bedroom! You put a lot of work into it. It feels cozy and homey. I really need to get my bedroom on the same level. LOL. You've seen mine. Looks like I just moved in last week. Maybe my new Shaw rug (if it ever GETS here.....) will go in my bedroom to warm it up. If I put it in my family room, it's subject to mac and cheese mashed into it.... LOL. Anyhow, great job!

I love the wall color. It can be tough to decided on a master bedroom wall color, but this looks great. The crackle paint looks really neat, love that idea! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks FABULOUS! I have now lived in my house for five years and have done pretty much nothing with our bedroom. You made me think hard about that...I think it's high time I change that!
ReplyDeleteLara, you should do your master bedroom, since I have done mine I can relax in there more, and it feels better when I go to bed. I spray lavender linen spray in there when I change the sheets, it makes it smell relaxing too!!
DeleteGreat job Jodi! I love the colours and it looks so peaceful.
