My husband went on a fishing trip over spring break, so I decided to surprise him with a bedroom makeover! I don’t claim to be any good at decorating my home, and I am actually pretty hesitant to make any major changes, but I went all in on this one. I knew I wanted something bright and white that would be perfect for pictures! Some of my favorite pictures are of Maci sleeping or jumping on my bed.
I already had this bench at the foot of my bed and it is definitely my most favorite piece of furniture that we own. I wanted to stick with the style of the bench so I ordered a headboard to match. I got the headboard from amazon for just $75! This was a bedroom makeover on a budget and even though the headboard was cheap, the reviews for this headboard were great so I ordered it! I am so glad I went with this one, the fabric is nice and it matches the bench perfectly.
Once I had the headboard and I knew I liked it, I started painting. Oh painting…I spent all day Thursday painting. My father in law came and helped me and we got it finished in a few hours. My arms were sore (I know, I’m a cry baby) and I definitely didn’t feel like painting any more rooms any time soon. And then the paint dried yellow. I hated it. So, I spent the day Friday repainting. The second color is the color I stuck with and I love it! It’s called “intense white” and in person it looks like a very light gray.
While the paint dried I started shopping. The fun part! I love a good deal so I shopped around a lot and ended up finding the perfect end tables at Hobby Lobby for just $27 a piece! They have a beautiful design painted on the tops and they’re exactly what I was looking for. They add a little something to an all white room. The mirrors came from Hobby Lobby too, and they were marked down to half off so they were $20 a piece! Score.
I splurged on the lamps, but they were the perfect color and height and I just couldn’t leave them behind. They came from Lowes.
And today the final piece came in! I ordered a sweet sign from Smallwood Homes that reads “The most wonderful thing I decided to do was share my life and heart with you.”
And it couldn’t be more true.
