Surprise bedroom makeover for mom...
Comments (38)IF it was my room, I'd change out the bedskirt to an aqua color-to ground it more. In fact-I'd purchase a bedspread that has some design in it or a solid in a deeper color than the walls or one of the pillow colors. You could always make a 'throw from her original spread & maybe make the bedskirt from the existing spread. If the mirror is a given..maybe add some gold accents on the nightstand/dresser? Does the gold mirror exist now or are you buying one? Methinks the 3 small prints aren't in scale with the large gold mirror. I noticed a floor mirror in one pic...does she really need 2 mirrors in the room? I'd also change out the lamps on the dresser & go for 2 of the 'buffet sty;e lamps. They'd add some height to that side of the room. Also-consider perhaps adding swag lights over each nightstand, instead of table lamps. I seem to think 3 larger prints (in the pretty colors you've chose) or even a wallhanging (on a pole that matches her nightstands) above the headboard would add some nice drama to the room...maybe no frames at all? A pretty tall floor plant in a big ceramic pot in one of the room's colors-placed in the window corner would breathe some life into the room. Yea on the crown molding! As for the headboard..I'd probably change it out for a taller one that matches her dresser & bureau. Just another opinion. Lastly-maybe think about losing the valances and get the nice woven blinds then hang drapery panels on each side-in one of the room's colors. Whatever your selections....your mom will be blown away when she returns home! Way to go!...See MoreLooking for help with master bedroom makeover!
Comments (18)Thank you mimipadv we like him too. :-) Painting the trim white us a definite, we've been making our way around the house as we've done over other rooms. The windows are all new so that's why they're done already. The only other thing I've done in this room so far is take down an upper wall border, freshen up the ceiling, and those blue bathroom walls used to have hideous 80s green and burgundy plaid wallpaper! And no, that over toilet cheapie isnt staying, just came with the house. As for the openness, we're used to it by now and don't mind it so much. We have etiquette rules as to the toilet usage. ;-) The tub only gets used by the kids and it's nice to plop them in then fold laundry or lounge on the bed to give them time to play. However that being said, we have talked about putting up French doors which would be my preference as I don't want the room to be suddenly small and cavelike without those two big windows. And we could still open them up for the kids. I thought maybe sliding ones so they wouldn't take up floor space....See MoreNeed help with master bedroom makeover
Comments (7)Good afternoon, and I am glad you and your family are well. What a fun challenge! Here's my 2 cents. General--I would stick to your grey, white, and bling color scheme. This is an elegant combination that is timeless. Walls--A nice pale grey but make sure it is not looking blue or purple. I like and have Behr Marquee Silver City. Or you could do an off white with grey tones. Get samples first, paint on canvas, and hang them up so you can see them in daylight and night. Accent Wall--not required. 1-2 pink accent pillows are plenty b/c the art is a strong statement on its own. If you still want more pink: a pale blush wall color behind the bed like Behr Marquee Stolen Kiss. Dresser: I would paint it the same color as walls. This will help with visual clutter. Dresser mirror can be sophisticated (round?) and have bling. Night tables: mirrored with storage, or wood painted the same color as walls. Other: Lamps that are silver, glass, or sparkly. (Make sure there is not too much bling in the room though.) A tropical plant. Curtains to blend with wall, but with the rod higher and wider than the window. New grey bedding that looks like a spa, with white sheets and cases if you like. Definitely see if office can be moved, or at least downsized as a console table and elegant armchair. Hopefully this will get you started on a lasting design. Pros: how did I do? 😁 Keep us posted!...See MoreNeed help with small primary bedroom makeover
Comments (8)You could fit a headboard. Please do as Patrucia asked, give us an exact floor plan of the room. That is a small master, but there are things that can be done but it is better if we know exact measurements.....See MoreJennifer Hogan
