make/do: the "before" bedroom pictures

By Summer



The infamous "before" pictures. You must have a good set of "before" pictures in order to properly boast in your glorious room makeover, right?

My master bedroom is boring, mismatched & unthoughtful. I have not even tried to do anything fantastic in this room.

What I like:
1. Years ago I painted the inside of the closet a bright coral color. So happy.
2. The art in the images above I actually do like & will keep.
3. The little wood rocking chair. Child size. It was my Grandma's as a small girl. It's a keeper, but won't use it as a nightstand.

What I dislike:
1. The carpet is unsightly. While new when we bought our home, I've always disliked it.
3. The actual room size is tiny so we only have a bed & dresser in the room as well as the little rocking chair.
4. Wall color. I picked it. It's okay -- a grey color. But I am so over it. New wallpaper?!
5. The Curtains. I apparently do not know how to pick out & hang curtains. Currently, crooked & saggy.
6. Bedding. Time to update!
7. Lighting. Must change this!
8. Un-closet doors. Our home is a late 70's ranch, updated. It came with those wild-ly sliding closet doors. Horrible & ugly.  New closet doors have been added to the list...

Next, I will post a list of  all the projects I have planned for this room as well as all the product I will be purchasing. Fun!

What room in your home is your least favorite? Most neglected?
