Sorry it took me so long to post this! It is a continuation of this post back in October. To give you a brief background…
Yes we are still living with my parents but recently bought a house. Well the house needs A LOT of work so we jumped right in renovating the day after closing. But since it’s a long process and I will have this baby ANY day now, we decided to stay put in my parent’s house for about a month after he is born. Hopefully at that point our house will be done and our growing little family can move in! I will share some pics of the house soon, I promise!
In the meantime, I want to show you the space we are living in for the time being! Back in October, I got the itch to do a little redecorating in the bedroom we were staying in at my parents’. This was actually my bedroom in high school! haha Weird huh? Back then it was decorated in a moon and stars theme. Since then my mom made it a rustic Minnesota guest room. When I approached her with the idea of redoing it AGAIN she was all for it. YAY! So I began… see my inspiration board here!
Here’s a couple Before pics:
I wanted something lighter, brighter, but still cozy. I am definitely NOT an interior designer but really enjoy decorating and making spaces feel more like me. Here are the After pics!
We first raided our storage garage and retrieved our guest bedroom headboard and pillow shams. I originally got the headboard at Ashley Furniture and the pillow shams from Anthropologie.
I got the cream sweater pillow from Pier One and both the white duvet and textured blanket are from Target. I bought a new sleepify bed because the old bed was just way to firm. The bed skirt is from Bed, Bath, & Beyond. The 2 nightstands are from Target and the glass lamps are from Ikea. The big shag rug is from Lowe’s – great buy!
I did the art above the bed using inspiration from pinterest :).
The white jewelry stand is from Pier One, The art is a reprint from this painting I did, the frame is reclaimed, and the jewelry tree is from Urban Outfitters.
The 2 teal pieces of furniture my mom got at an antique fair called Gold Rush, definitely one of my favorites of the room!
My rocker is from Pottery Barn Kids – had to splurge on it for Baby! The pillow is from Target and the Sleep Sheep from Amazon.
The bird cage and candle are from Hobby Lobby, I did the rose art, and the top shelf of books are a collection of my mom’s.
The sailboat window was a reclaimed piece given to me from a friend and the rose mirror is from Hobby Lobby.
That’s it! I hope you like it, now I’m off to set up the pack n play!
It looks so amazing, and I love the teal pieces of furniture. I find looking at your pictures is like a “Where’s Talula” book, so fun! I can’t wait to see pictures of your new house.
Love the “freshness” of the room! 🙂 Sooo exciting about the house!!
Love the room redo! Nice job! Much more fitting for you I think:) Oh, and congrats on the house! So exciting.
Beautiful! For a number of a reasons, I am antsy to get our currently-listed house sold, but one of the biggest reasons is so that we can make a new house OURS with a complete remodel and a fresh start. Your room is beautiful!
Beautiful makeover! Love the white space.
It looks great! SO peaceful and cheerful.
Pretty much love this entire room, especially the combo of the art above the bed and the pillows. So colorful and happy!
That’s lovely! Do you find it hard living/ having your stuff in just one room? We moved from a little one bed attic flat to a house to have baby- it makes a lot of difference having more space. Hope everything goes well with baby! xx
OMG! The blue distressed dresser looks incredible! I love that vintage look. Just looks beautiful. You’re also an amazing photographer and can really bring out all the details for every shot. Just beautiful … Good Work 🙂
[…] D and I stayed in for the first couple months we lived with my parents before moving downstairs to this bedroom. After we moved downstairs, my mom had the idea to redo it (mostly a ploy to get Abby to come home […]
Oh, that bedroom is so pretty! I like the pops of colour in the white, well done!! I have this linked to my master bedrooms post as well today, for inspiration!
[…] I love this room. It was one of those rooms that got all the leftover stuff and then I hodgepodged it together into what it is now. I think that’s what I love about it. I didn’t really have a budget to work with so the only new stuff I bought was the wall paint and the yellow quilt. Everything else I already had from other rooms. (here and here) […]
