recently, weve done a little bedroom change up.
the bedroom colors used to be grey, teal and red, but i was hating the red and wanted to incorporate some yellow and green instead. i was sort of hesitant to start the transformation because i hate spending money and all the red sheets, and decor would have to be replaced. and then i realized, i probably could paint some things and move some other stuff around and i'd be ok.
i spray painted this cute little box that used to be red. it took about 5 coats and was sort of a pain in the ass, but it fits right in now.
i took the green area rug from the living room and laid it under the bed and i also had some green curtains in the spare bedroom that i stole and hung.
this star light is a faded green and i got it on sale at the mall awhile ago. it had been hanging awkwardly over the couch, but i like it a lot better hanging in the bedroom window.
the biggest and most exciting change that we made was getting our old bed back. we had been using a king size platform style that we bought from ikea a few years ago. will liked it, but i hated it. the bed wasnt bad or anything, i just hated sleeping so close to the ground. it was weird. i like tall beds. anyway, because i married a pretty great dude, i got my way and we switched back to our old bed. :] however, due to nearly two years of just chillin in the garage, the box springs was looking a little nasty. it was dirty to say the least and our cat had sharpened her claws and snagged the crap out of it. i did a little interwebz surfin and got inspired by this site. inspired being the key word here, i used an old flat sheet from our king sized bed and wrapped it around the edges and stapled it with my staple gun. other than the few previous bleach splatters i think it looks pretty good. way better than the ratty old box springs. i need to keep an eye out for some patterned fabric at a thrift store. i think that could be fun.
so, once the bed got all moved in and i felt good about that i knew that i would need some new sheets. i wanted yellow. i needed yellow. i have a black duvet cover and the grey and white one thats pictured. there was no question about it, i needed to find some fricken yellow sheets. thank goodness for target, cause for $24.99, or something close to that,i picked up these sheets.
today i made a banner out of some old stock paper and hung it along the wall. itll be fun incorporating some more yellow and green into the bedroom. change is always good. i definitely like being in the bedroom more and it feels a lot more cozy.
and because i pretty much owned everything already and had a lot of the stuff laying around or i re-purposed it, this bedroom facelift cost me only $24.99 for the new sheets. not too bad if you ask me!
