Master Bedroom Makeover

Some homemade "artwork" using pictures, burlap, scrapbook paper, and number stencils. The frames are Wal Mart and garage sale finds.

I have been needing a change in my bedroom as it seems like many people are on the blogs that I read. Maybe it's a spring thing. I did not have much money to spend so here is what I came up with on the "cheap". I created this sitting area with some wicker chairs that my mom was getting rid of. I spray painted them black and made some pillows for them. The seat cushions are chenille pillows that I got at a garage sale for $1. (kind of a dark picture, sorry)This trunk was in my mom and dad's basement. When my mom was a little girl, this is what her parents put all five of the kid's clothes in when they traveled. I am going to use it to store my fabric or pictures.

I used two old wood crates to make a side table. It is good storage for magazines and books and other treasures I might find.

This is my "treasure of the week"! I splurged on this one because I kept thinking about it for days after I left the antique store. I love the antique silver finish and it was all ready to go with a long cord and plug so I could swag it and plug it in. No male help needed! I got it for $40.

These are Anthropologie inspired curtains that I found on ebay. They are actually Pottery Barn, but they're used, so I got a great deal. The R plate I got at Hobby Lobby. I hung the curtains on glass knobs from Hobby Lobby.

I am in love with the white pick stitch bedding from Pottery Barn, but I found this white matlesse at a flea market with the shams for $45. The other two pillow cases came from Goodwill and the burlap bolster I made. There is just something about white bedding mixed with burlap and flowers that I love!

I painted the shutters a blue/green next to the bed. Kind of a summery beachy look.


Here is what happens once the "photo shoot" is over...back to reality!
