Finally – New Bedroom Reveal!

28 Jul

Hi Everyone!! So remember a million years ago when I promised to show you our bedroom re-do? I finally took some photos of our new space!

First Up – Before Pictures:

This is how the space looked when I moved in. It was nice, but definitely more of a boy’s room (and note how my bedside table used to be a TV dinner tray)

And here is how our bedroom looks now:

New Bedroom 1

Of course Raleigh snuck into some of the pics:

Potted orchids are from Home Goods:

New Bedroom 4

Our bedside lamps are also from Home Goods:

New Bedroom 8We picked up this little candle holder in China Town in San Francisco:

New Bedroom 7

I got this mirrored jewelry box at Target. This is where I store my engagement ring when I go to bed:

New Bedroom 5

And there you have it! I cannot take full credit for any of it, it was 100% a team effort. We painted the walls (‘agreeable gray’ from Sherwin Williams) and wallpapered the wall behind the headboard as an accent. Neither of us had put up wallpaper before, but the process went pretty smoothly. I actually prefer wallpapering to paiting, but I’m sure it is more difficult to do a whole room vs. one wall.

All of the accesories came from Target, TJ Maxx or Home Goods. We also did some DIY artwork for the wall. Above the dresser are three framed black & white photos. One of a California beach, one of the St. Louis arch and finally a scene of New York City. I also did another painting for a wall across from the bed.  Stay tuned for pictures of the painting and more of the Raleigh photo-shoot!
