Bedroom Renovations Part II

Welcome Back! So yesterday I shared our before photos of our bedroom renovations. Here are the after photos....I am so glad we did a touch of color on the walls. My sister teases me because it is still neutral. But this was really a step out of the box for Kevin & I. We are BORING!

I also wish I took before photos of our bathroom because I changed it up a little bit in there too.

We found this bedding set at Dillards back in December but I refused to pay what they were asking for it. After finding it I was on a mission. I wanted that set! I searched for it online and found it on several sites. I basically stalked the online stores for free shipping and coupons. Then low & behold I found it at at local bed/kitchen store. I got on e.bay and purchased a coupon for 20% off my ENTIRE purchase for only $1.47. Kevin thought it was silly that I was paying someone for a coupon they received free and he insisted that it was a scam. But it worked. I got 20% off my entire purchase which saved me tons! Another ways I reduced costs on my renovation was I made my own valances. I used the bedskirt for my curtains. You can't use a bedskirt on my bed so I cut it up and made my own. I am not a professional seamstress by anymeans but this was EASY! I need to go back and steam the curtains but I was eager to get them up.

It took Kevin and I over 2 hours to place these two wall vinyls on our wall. I love these things. I found each of these vinyls on Esty. I selected the style, color, and the verse I wanted.

Here's the master bath. It's hard to compare because I don't have before photos. I switched out the curtains. Added the wall clock. Moved the wall hanging that used to be on that wall to another wall.


We got these candle thingys for our wedding. I used to have cream candles in it but switched them out for some brown ones. Then I added a ribbon and rhinestone.

So that is it. Its funny how much it has changed our bedroom. I am so happy we went with the color. I highly recommend switching things up a bit. I am a creature of habit. I never think to move furniture or move around the wall hangings but this renovation has inspired me to do so. It totally changed my mood...maybe it was the Buff Gold paint. I don't want to move for years!

Bedroom Renovations Part I

Another reason that I have been offline lately is that I have been working on a project. Kevin and I have had the same bedding for 5 years. We loved it but it was starting to get worn out and old. In December, Kevin suggested that we change our bedroom a little. Little did I know that suggestion would cause a lot of home improvements.


Before I purchased a newbedroom set, Kevin also suggested that we have our room re-painted and the kitchen repainted. You see our little boy is super sweet but he is a mess. I blame a lot of it on us because he would touch our walls and drag his hands along the walls every time he walked. I'll show you the pics. Please do not judge. The walls were disgusting. Not sure if they will show up but we had handprints, chapstick, and other items smeared on our walls.

Heres a bedroom wall with chapstick...again please do not judge :)


So I found a WONDERFUL, and affordable painter. He was so reasonable that I had two more rooms and two hallways done. This painter also convinced me to change the bedroom wall color. Kevin and I are very neutral. We like khaki. However the painter was really insistant that I step out of the box and try another color in the bedroom.

Here are the before photos of our bedroom. I'll show you the after photos tomorrow.
