today is the day you have all been waiting for!!!! The Grand Reveal in my best announcer voice) tododododooooooooo (horn intro)
The biggest component to redecorating a room, in my opinion, is the tons of little projects that add up to the whole project. I repainted and upholstered our bed, painted all the tables, upholstered the panels behind the bed, crafted the mirror, reprinted photos in black and white and a ton of other small things. Each one takes time and effort and that is why this little redecorating project took 2 weeks instead of two days. The walls and baseboards got painted first and then I started tons of smaller tasks. I will detail several of these later on but I wanted to share the final result!
By the time I took these pictures it was already getting dark, dang daylight savings time! So it messes with the lighting a bit. I would love to find a cream corduroy slip cover for our enormous love seat but for now I improvised a cover out of fabric I had, and yes those are the curtains I had up before the room was painted.
It never ceases to amaze me what a gallon or two of paint can do in a space. My kids keep coming in and laying down on my bed, Zach says it feels so light and airy in there now! I love that, it was absolutely the feeling I was going for. I will share a couple more pictures of the space today and later we will get down to the details! Honestly there was not a surface in this room that didn't get smacked with paint or newness of some kind! And the best part is I really spent very little. All the main pieces we already owned they just got pulled from other rooms or re-invented in some way.
Love this blueprint blow-up of a recent snapshot my son took of Husband Darling and I.
The fireplace and it's faux brick came out just the way I envisioned them! I always love when a project actually works!! This was a big project, that is about 8 coats of white paint! And everything on the mantel is a redo or new in some way! The big platter got spray painted, the vase is an upside down light fixture globe I spray painted, the art is all my own projects. But truly the brick is my favorite part!
ok, that's enough for now but I will be back to share more details and the master bath space with you too!
The fireplace looks gorgeous!!! What kind of paint did you use? I am needing to redo the underneath part of our dining room table that I painted with kiltz because its the only white i had at the time... It doesn't look good...
ReplyDeleteI love the brick also. So pretty! It all flows well. The blue color on your headboard is very similar to what I want to paint in my living room. I just want to brighten it up. (it's currently a darker tan) I feel like it'll change the mood in there and flow well with my dining room being a light yellow. :)
