Hey ya'll! First things first, give thank you lot you hence much to every unmarried someone who took the fourth dimension to electronic mail me, comment, or shipping their congratulations via social media afterward my last post. It actually meant hence much to me, in addition to it totally took me past times surprise to come across how excited everyone was. I've felt a lilliputian downward during this pregnancy due to existence hence sick, in addition to it was only the boost I needed. Thank you lot guys.
So, moving on to today's topic: The main bedroom. As many of you lot know, I've blogged virtually this room a lot, to a greater extent than oftentimes than non because the balance of our solid was withal stuck inwards the 70's for the commencement 2 years of this blog. But, this calendar week I looked dorsum at my posts from 2014 in addition to realized that the last fourth dimension I shared anything virtually this room was over a twelvemonth ago, right earlier nosotros started renovating the upstairs.
So, basically, my take heed is blown, in addition to we somehow went an entire twelvemonth without talking virtually this room.
So, it's fourth dimension for updates. Because although zip major has changed, similar knocking downward a wall or edifice a sauna, at that topographic point conduct keep been a few changes that I've made to this room over the past times year.
But first, a quick reminder of what this room looked similar when nosotros commencement moved inwards almost v years ago.
This motion painting gives me a really 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 come across this picture, I yell upward when nosotros commencement got married in addition to bought our house, in addition to that was genuinely i of the happiest times inwards my life.
I wasn't upset past times the horrible 1970's dungeon that was my house...I was excited past times the possibilities. And that's what this photograph reminds me of...to never experience stuck past times what is, but to instead live excited past times what tin give notice be.
And hence fast forwards to June of lastly year, in addition to this is what our sleeping accommodation looked similar for virtually a month. We emptied out the one-time queen sized bed that I made in addition to were waiting on the arrival of our novel bed. It ended upward taking much longer to larn inwards that we'd planned, hence the room was empty for awhile.
It was a weird sleeping accommodation transition stage that I don't similar to recall.
We bought the bed online hence it was kinda a hurting to assemble, but when all was said in addition to done, it turned out beautifully. Plus, Jesse assembled it, hence who am I to complain.
This Instagram pic is from 23 weeks ago. And I'm only straightaway getting or hence to finally sharing the destination results amongst you lot on the blog.
It's non normal, I know.
So, here's the sleeping accommodation equally it looks today. The entirely major additions are the upholstered wingback bed, in addition to 2 x-base nightstands. I also got some longer curtains in addition to raised the mantle rod to the ceiling. The antique carpet was given to me past times my grandma, the scalloped chandelier is from this post, in addition to the artwork higher upward the bed is a golden placemat I framed inwards a Target frame.
I looked everywhere for receive mode nightstands in addition to eventually decided on these. I also added a couplet mercury drinking glass lamps that I institute 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 uncovering to date.
If you're novel here, the original dresser post tin give notice live institute here.
And bonus, here's the original post virtually the cupboard makeover. It's a lilliputian outdated past times now, but you lot tin give notice at to the lowest degree come across what's going on inwards there.
Here's the sentiment of the sleeping accommodation when you lot commencement walk inwards the room. I've temporarily position a lilliputian sofa inwards the side room.
My treadmill lives inwards there, too. And you lot larn to come across it. Because who has fourth dimension to movement that affair for photo's sake?
And because it's proficient to remember, this is what the side room looked similar v years ago.
If you're inwards a similar province of affairs and can't afford to take your forest paneling, don't live afraid to pigment it. I had no experience whatsoever in addition to all it took was a lilliputian query in addition to a lot of elbow grease, in addition to it's held upward only fine. I used Kilz primer in addition to BM Simply White apartment wall paint. That's it.
Here's a closeup of the side room today. This is all really temporary because I think I'm going to brand this room the nursery. At to the lowest degree for the commencement lilliputian while. So, the sofa volition in all probability larn moved elsewhere in addition to hence volition the treadmill.
And hence volition that horrid boob lite because, no.
But for the past times lilliputian while, it's been prissy to conduct keep a sofa inwards there. You may yell upward this lilliputian sofa from the basement (probably not). It was slipcovered inwards a chocolate-brown slipcover in addition to when nosotros gutted the basement a few months back, nosotros almost got rid of it, but I decided at the lastly infinitesimal to proceed it in addition to come across if I could usage it elsewhere.
And Jesse was SO excited that I wanted to proceed the sofa because underneath the slipcover was this:
The higher upward pic was taken afterward I had Jesse haul it upstairs past times himself similar he was an ant.
You tin give notice only imagine his joy.
And hence I had him movement it dorsum to the bedroom, inwards 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 musical note it downward a notch in addition to embrace it amongst an off-white slipcover. I'm thinking I volition eventually movement this lilliputian sofa to the human foot of the bed, but we'll see.
Until then, it volition only await pretty in addition to I'll experience similar a someone who tin give notice afford to conduct keep a pretty lilliputian sofa inwards her bedroom.
But, we'll all know the existent story, you lot in addition to me.
HOT PINK $50 COUCH FROM 1982.
Oh, in addition to here's i lastly lilliputian 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 mantle rod is a distressing spaghetti noodle, but babe steps.
And here's your yearly update on the silvery leafage vanity...still i of my favorite redos. I currently conduct keep all of my pilus materials (blow dryers, etc) inwards that wooden bin. I proceed planning to pigment it in addition to position some caster wheels on it, but it hasn't happened yet.
I've only come upward to the convey that this is i of those life phases when hanging curtains, slipcovering a tiny pinkish sofa, in addition to assembling some slice of furniture takes me half-dozen months.
But, I'm working on some other really of import project, hence I know you lot guys volition sympathise if I movement fifty-fifty slower than usual.
