Love where you sleep! A bedroom REdo....

A friend/client of mine recently moved into a new house...a blank slate...excitement and fear...a new beginning.

There is A LOT to REdo in this new space...but I keep reminding her that life is a marathon, NOT a sprint. She is a "do-er"--as am I--so this is a hard motto to live by!

One of the spaces we decided she had to LOVE sooner than later was her new bedroom. In a male dominated house, this is the only space that is truly her sanctuary, her girly space.

Here is a before photo of her master suite...awful brown walls and ceiling with black trim and doors...depressing! The only girly thing about this room is the PINK tiled bathroom that is attached to her bedroom! It is dated, but super cute in a retro way.

After a blink of an eye, she and her mom had the room transformed with just a few coats of paint in a soothing gray to the walls and a crisp white on the ceiling. The two sets of non-working closet doors where pitched into the trash...and the wood floors were brought back to life with a quick refinishing!

Within a few months this is what her room has morphed into...looking amazing, but still not serene...a bit unfinished.

This window was one of the unfinished areas. The sheers needed to be hemmed...the full length mirror needed to be, well, more full length and substantial, and the scale needed to be hidden...forever.
