Handmade Bedroom Makeover : From The Archives
/
We got the light colored dresser at a thrift store and David re-finised it last summer. The dark colored dresser (which is still on the list of things to refinish) was David's in college and we have been using it since we got married.
The quilt was made by David's great grandmother and we love sleeping under it's weight. We have a dream catcher on my side of the bed because I wake up with nightmares almost every night. It reminds me to pray for peaceful sleep.
I made the curtains and the pillows from left-over fabric from some of my mom's jobs. The quilted pillow's fabric was found at an estate sale several years ago.
You can find the DIY for the triangle painting here. The frame was painted pink with some leftover spray paint we had and part of the quilt from the estate sale was cut out to go in it!
I love these little pom-pom flowers. I simply cut up some garland I had and hot glued it to some sticks I found in our back yard. So simple and so fun. If you don't have any pom-poms already made up, you can find a similar tutorial here. I made similar pom-poms for hanging on the ceiling of the bedroom beside the bunting.
You can find an easy DIY BUNTING here, and a similar tutorial for how I did the garland here. I used crate paper and cut into squares and then threaded those through some string.
I made this for David for Valentines Day this year, and used a thrift store frame to frame it.
We made these shelves when we lived in Nashville out of cabinet doors from the Habitat for Humanity store. We have them up with some hooks we got from Home Depot. Now that the shelves match our wall color, I'm dying to paint them but haven't gotten around to it.
You can find a DIY for this frame HERE. I love the simple statement it creates in our small bathroom.
Dakota is a huge fan of the new bedroom too! We ditched our bed frame (it is a OLD iron frame that has been handed down in my family--it traveled from Missouri to Colorado in a covered wagon!). We like the cozyness having our mattress on the floor creates. Kind of weird, I know:).
