This certainly holds true for my bedroom makeover. I have never liked the way my last bedroom makeover turned out and frankly hated the paint color so much that I never even put anything on the walls. I wish I had all of you back then to inspire and encourage me.
Here are a few pictures of my unloved bedroom. Please don't think badly of me. :o)
I was shooting for a deep lilac color. I found this oops paint at Lowes for dirt cheap and thought it was close to what I wanted. I was WRONG!A quick note to any of you who think it would be wonderful to have textured walls...JUST SAY NO!
Here are a few items that were transformed during the makeover. I will show you what they looked like in their original state and then you can look for them in the reveal. Remember Highlights Magazine? The back page always had a Find the Hidden Items Puzzle. I loved that magazine, but I digressed.
Remember this little table that I bought atthe Centerberg Auction?
You remember this gentleman, don't you?
This was my grandfather's dresser. I gave it a facelift, but I don't think he would mind.
Are you ready to see the new room? (Dramatic pause)
Yes...I am ready...drumroll!~ :) Patti
ReplyDeleteHi La, I have really enjoyed catching up with your blog. What wonderful auction finds! I have banned myself from auctions as I can't control myself. Well until the winter anyway! I can't wait to see your bedroom makeover, fancy leaving us in suspense like that! Bosco is adorable, he must be such a lovely little friend. Thanks so much for all your kind comments. I'm really grateful. Jane xx
ReplyDeleteDon't keep us in suspense! I know it looks beautiful. I love your granddad's dresser---a real treasure...
ReplyDeleteYou have such a good eye. It's too bad on that paint. If it had a little more blue in it I bet it would have been a scrumptious purple!
