Ok so it’s time to finally get to work today, and give this master bedroom a new life! I will be trying to reuse as much from the room, and around the house as possible, so this is going to be a makeover on a small budget. I want to show you how a little paint, moving some furniture around, and adding new bedding and accessories can completely transform a room.

I selected a soothing tone of blue gray for the general paint color. I picked up a few accessories to demonstrate the look and feel I plan to achieve. I am making over this room for my mom, and she was originally going for a beachy / tropical feel. The paint color didn’t turn out quite like she imagined. Now that she also likes an antique look, and has acquired some great pieces over time, I am going to marry the two styles. In the end the room will be calm and soothing with a vintage beach cottage aesthetic.

Here is the room before:

Now time to start painting! I will post some progress photos this afternoon.
