Before = an empty room, cream walls - not even worth sharing a photo...
After = Behr "Aloof Gray" walls + and one big yellow-green wall :)
 |
| All of our white furniture and bedding really pops off of our big green accent wall :) Our bedframe is Trondheim from IKEA - I think they are discontinuing the collection... Instead of night stands, we flanked our bed with these tall cabinets for extra storage. Not pictured = sweet white floor slider drawer that fit right under the bed: one on each side |
 |
| The cabinets are all white, just like our bed frame, but from the Besta IKEA collection: typically seen in a living room in some combination for an entertainment center. We selected these low profile door pulls preferring to keep the doors clean of chunky knobs/handles. |
 |
| We were starting to run into a whole lot of flat white staring at us - SO! We added a little texture and warmth into the inset panels of the cabinet doors. - Picked out a nice neutral handmade paper at Dick Blick - its hard to tell in the photo, but the color has a slight yellow/green cast to it, that ties in nicely with our wall color. - Took measurements and I cut down the paper with a knife and straight edge (my cutting method of choice for pretty much everything! ) - little sticky tabs along the edges in the corners and VOILA! Customized cabinet door panels! The project cost us about 8$ with some extra paper to save for a future project ;) |
 |
| We added a shelf above our head board to hold our new little, adjustable task lighting - great for reading in bed :) And above the shelf = the vintage cabinet door we purchased back in Feb. at the Be Mine Market (see earlier post) |
 |
| Our duvet - from Urban Outfitters - combines both of our favorite colors: yellow for Elisa and orange for Kevin! + the little birds with the great scandi floral makes me happy :) I was surprised at my wedding shower (a while ago now!) with yellow monograming on the gray pillowcases that we'd registered for! Perfect! |
 |
| Yes Finch's bed has a spot too! Finch's duvet isn't new, but it was custom made by my mom and I with a durable + cozy green berber fleece (Fits over a 3' x 4' grid of pillows that we sewed together) Duvets for dog beds are the best - so easy to pull off and wash + easy to customize to fit in with a color scheme. + Finch gets yellow monogramming on his pillow too :) |
 |
| We customized our IKEA Malm dresser - yet another big block of white - with these sweet decals from Mykea, a company that makes decals to fit just about any Ikea furniture out of Amsterdam (see earlier post) + Kevin built me a sturdy wooden "TV Boost" that allows us to store our TV components under our bedroom TV. It's been spray painted gray of course... |
 |
| Our bedroom didn't have previously hardwired lighting, and instead of hardwiring in a new fixture, we just added this white glass pendant above our TV/Closet area to light the way + Super sale purchase of this gray with white knobs dresser for Elisa, from where else: Ikea - for 99$ (also being discontinued). I had really wanted to add a non-white dresser that wasn't a big brick/black hole in the room - this dresser features curved legs and nice beveled edge details. + Above my new dresser hangs the mirror! Remember? The mirror that used to hang in my parent's house, that I spray painted white - originally intended for our master bathroom! (see earlier mirror project post) Well it finally found a home and I love it! |
Thanks for being our bedroom guests ;) It's so nice to have such a cozy room completed + we added lots of functional storage space too! We just need to get a few things up on the walls... I'm having wall-commitment issues and I think it's started to drive Kevin nuts. He's SO over all the bare walls throughout the house.
We'll get there...and when we do you'll be the first to know!
