  • make/do: the "before" bedroom pictures



    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?
