Bedroom Makeover

So I am starting the task of redorating my bedroom.  I am going for a high end look with a lot of repurposed furniture and finds.  I am also attempting some custom work i.e.:  1st attempt at making an upholstered headboard.  Secondly, I am trying my hand at distressing an old dresser/mirror found for $28.30.  Since my current bedroom decor (mainly red/black, tan, leopard print...you know the scheme) with large bulky black furnture and a big honking armoir with the flat screen TV in it that can easily be hung on the wall to free space... is hanging on within an inch of it's life, it's time to do away with the dark dungeonous feel, and opt for a lighter, brighter (not to shabby) look.  I am deeply inspired by Tori Spelling's bedroom.  I am using a dockside blue, tan with white distressed furniture (still up for debate) however, am struggling with the accent color for wall frames, etc.  1.  Black 2. Silver 3. Gold - happens to be my fave.....I am posting some inspiration photos courtesy of Red Chateau Home Decor, Ballard Designs and Oxygen's Tori and Dean.  I will also be posting updates along the way, and of course, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

I am pretty much obsessed with this bird lamp.  I LOVE BIRDS!

 

 I know I want all white bedding, but I am in love with this bedskirt.

 I either need a chair like this for the corner of my room, or may want a small desk/chair....still not sure

Untufted headboard...what I am going for

1st on the Agenda, choosing a fabric, everything will revolve around the fabric I choose for the upholstered headboard.  So I have bought 4 yards of this fabric from Hobby Lobby.  Then was able to match up some paint for the walls.  I know I have 4 kids, and I know I let them walk around the house with food, and one of them happens to be a year old, but I still want ALL WHITE BEDDING.  My husband is protesting heavily....


OK, now for the fabric reveal...tada! I LOVE it....

I will be keeping this antique sofa at the foot of my bed.  It was handed down

from Jeff's Great-Grandma, which we then had reupholstered in this yummy

tan chenille fabric, this will be the priciest thing in the room hands down!

This ugly dresser and mirror has potential in my opinion.

$28.30 for the set...what a steal!  Good Will my friends,

as long as you can stand the smell and get in and out quickly,

it is worth it!

I have already started to sand it.  I would like to paint

it distressed white/ivory and change out the hardware.

It will go underneath the hung TV on the wall.

The mirror doesn't have a home yet.

Bye Bye to this bulky armoir.  If we keep hanging TV's

on the wall, we are going to have a garage full of these.

Time to have a garage sale!

OK, just playing around, and now that I see

this hanging above the TV, it's coming down

or else I need to paint it.

My managerie of open back frames purchased

with a smile from Hobby Lobby's 90% off isle.

I will paint these all the same color if I can ever decide on one!

 I have chosen these Ethan Allen tables for the bedside.
I would like to cover the round one with fabric
and possibly hang the homeless mirror above the rectangle one,
once it's painted.  It is not out of the question to
repaint them to match the dresser, still not sure.
Now gotta start the Lamp hunt.



Juicy Room Update

Using the same furnishings, but added color and a few new accessories, my Daughter feels like she has a new room!  The turquoise is bright, but very cheery.  Perfect for a 13 year old girl!

 This adorable table I found at an antique store for a steal!  I might paint it hot pink though

Juicy Bedding found in Vegas

Aqua blue shag rug to tie it all in

Juicy Couture Inspired Room

I am starting the task of redecorating my Daughter's Juicy Inspired bedroom, not doing away with the theme, but adding some color, etc.  We got bored with the creme colored walls, and the pastel pink/brown color scheme, so we are taking direction from Juicy's "Peace, Love & Juicy" campaign.  We are going to add turquoise and hot pink to the exhisting pastel pink and do away with the brown.  I have never been more terrified to use turquoise paint, but here it goes!  I am posting what her room looks like now as well as some inspiration we have found via the internet and shopping in various Juicy stores.

 I had searched for over a year for Juicy Bedding that didn't exhist, so had to make

do with just using their colors.  I hit the jackpot at the Juicy store in Vegas when I went into the sleep

store and not only found the duvet cover, sheet set for a twin, but also got it on sale....SCORE!

It has Hot Pink in it, thus the decision to have to add that color also.  The framed prints above the

bed are just Juicy sacks cut and framed.

 The decision for keeping pastel pink in the mix was due to certain things

in the room we didn't want to touch, like these curtains that I made and practically bled for.

Not only was the fabric pricey, but they were a pain to make and hang.  They are staying!

 Lots of Gold is in use throughout the stores, and is where I got this

gold frame collage idea.  Some of the inserted prints are either Juicy adds

or French Provencial prints that came with the frames.

Another SCORE!  I found this Knight at a local Garden Ridge store, it was

silver and I spray painted it pink and sprinkled pink glitter on it while it was wet.

If you've ever visited a juicy store, some of them have a pink knight standing

at the entrance, seems to be their mascot.

 

 Doing away with this childs vanity, she will be 13 soon so it's gotta go (she has informed me) tear :(

 This chunky mirror and shelf in gold was found at Kirklands, fits in great with the theme, will be keeping this also.

 Our ode to Juicy's line "Bird". 

Atop the Armoir is a managerie of different candy jars, etc.  We will be getting rid of some things, and adding more candy filled glass jars, just like the stores have.

NOW FOR SOME INSPIRATION:

 I am looking for an accent chair for the corner of her room, preferably one I can get upholstered,

since shopping for a hot pink chair seems to be harder that I thought.

This bedding is similar to what I bought, thus the need to add the

hot pink.

I am on the hunt for Pink damask fabric

LOVE LOVE this wall!

Found a round table at an antique store Saturday,

it is black, but thinking about painting it gold.

This will replace the vanity.

Wall color infspiration only, not planning on putting

an ironing board in her room - ha!

Christmas Decorating done at last!
