Hey ya'll! First things first, give thank you lot you thence much to every unmarried individual who took the fourth dimension to e-mail me, comment, or ship their congratulations via social media later my last post. It actually meant thence much to me, together with it totally took me yesteryear surprise to meet how excited everyone was. I've felt a footling downwards during this pregnancy due to beingness thence sick, together with it was only the boost I needed. Thank you lot guys.
So, moving on to today's topic: The primary bedroom. As many of you lot know, I've blogged almost this room a lot, to a greater extent than oft than non because the residue of our describe solid was notwithstanding stuck inward the 70's for the kickoff 2 years of this blog. But, this calendar week I looked dorsum at my posts from 2014 together with realized that the last fourth dimension I shared anything almost this room was over a yr ago, right earlier nosotros started renovating the upstairs.
So, basically, my take heed is blown, together with we somehow went an entire yr without talking almost this room.
So, it's fourth dimension for updates. Because although zero major has changed, similar knocking downwards a wall or edifice a sauna, at that topographic point receive got been a few changes that I've made to this room over the yesteryear year.
But first, a quick reminder of what this room looked similar when nosotros kickoff moved inward almost v years ago.
This pic gives me a real salubrious dose of perspective. Because although it's i of the ugliest pictures I've always taken, it reminds me that cloth things don't equal happiness. Because every fourth dimension I meet this picture, I recall when nosotros kickoff got married together with bought our house, together with that was genuinely i of the happiest times inward my life.
I wasn't upset yesteryear the horrible 1970's dungeon that was my house...I was excited yesteryear the possibilities. And that's what this photograph reminds me of...to never experience stuck yesteryear what is, but to instead live excited yesteryear what tin be.
And thence fast frontwards to June of in conclusion year, together with this is what our chamber looked similar for almost a month. We emptied out the onetime queen sized bed that I made together with were waiting on the arrival of our novel bed. It ended upward taking much longer to brand it that we'd planned, thence the room was empty for awhile.
It was a weird chamber transition stage that I don't similar to recall.
We bought the bed online thence it was kinda a hurting to assemble, but when all was said together with done, it turned out beautifully. Plus, Jesse assembled it, thence who am I to complain.
This Instagram pic is from 23 weeks ago. And I'm only instantly getting to a greater extent than or less to finally sharing the cease results amongst you lot on the blog.
It's non normal, I know.
So, here's the chamber every bit it looks today. The exclusively major additions are the upholstered wingback bed, together with 2 x-base nightstands. I also got some longer curtains together with raised the drape rod to the ceiling. The antique carpet was given to me yesteryear my grandma, the scalloped chandelier is from this post, together with the artwork inward a higher house the bed is a aureate placemat I framed inward a Target frame.
I looked everywhere for create manner nightstands together with eventually decided on these. I also added a pair mercury drinking glass lamps that I establish at a local shop on clearance for $20 each.
Here are a few broad shots of the bedroom.
The french provincial dresser...still my best thrift shop detect to date.
If you're novel here, the original dresser post tin live establish here.
And bonus, here's the original post almost the cupboard makeover. It's a footling outdated yesteryear now, but you lot tin at to the lowest degree meet what's going on inward there.
Here's the persuasion of the chamber when you lot kickoff walk inward the room. I've temporarily position a footling sofa inward the side room.
My treadmill lives inward there, too. And you lot larn to meet it. Because who has fourth dimension to motility that affair for photo's sake?
And because it's skillful to remember, this is what the side room looked similar v years ago.
If you're inward a similar province of affairs and can't afford to take away your woods paneling, don't live afraid to pigment it. I had no experience whatsoever together with all it took was a footling question together with a lot of elbow grease, together with it's held upward only fine. I used Kilz primer together with BM Simply White apartment wall paint. That's it.
Here's a closeup of the side room today. This is all real temporary because I think I'm going to brand this room the nursery. At to the lowest degree for the kickoff footling while. So, the sofa volition in all likelihood larn moved elsewhere together with thence volition the treadmill.
And thence volition that horrid boob low-cal because, no.
But for the yesteryear footling while, it's been prissy to receive got a sofa inward there. You may recall this footling sofa from the basement (probably not). It was slipcovered inward a brownish slipcover together with when nosotros gutted the basement a few months back, nosotros almost got rid of it, but I decided at the in conclusion infinitesimal to conk on it together with meet if I could job it elsewhere.
And Jesse was SO excited that I wanted to conk on the sofa because underneath the slipcover was this:
The inward a higher house pic was taken later I had Jesse haul it upstairs yesteryear himself similar he was an ant.
You tin only imagine his joy.
And together with thence I had him motility it dorsum to the bedroom, inward all its hot pinkish glory, because really, what practise you lot desire from me.
I couldn't business office amongst it.
Ultimately I decided to note it downwards a notch together with encompass it amongst an off-white slipcover. I'm thinking I volition eventually motility this footling sofa to the pes of the bed, but we'll see.
Until then, it volition only hold off pretty together with I'll experience similar a individual who tin afford to receive got a pretty footling sofa inward her bedroom.
But, we'll all know the existent story, you lot together with me.
HOT PINK $50 COUCH FROM 1982.
Oh, together with here's i in conclusion footling broad angle...I also raised the curtains over the doors out to the deck. I don't know why, but raising the curtains to the ceiling makes such a large difference.
That drape rod is a deplorable spaghetti noodle, but babe steps.
And here's your yearly update on the silvery leafage vanity...still i of my favorite redos. I currently receive got all of my pilus materials (blow dryers, etc) inward that wooden bin. I conk on planning to pigment it together with position some caster wheels on it, but it hasn't happened yet.
I've only come upward to the receive got that this is i of those life phases when hanging curtains, slipcovering a tiny pinkish sofa, together with assembling some slice of furniture takes me six months.
But, I'm working on some other real of import project, thence I know you lot guys volition empathize if I motility fifty-fifty slower than usual.
