Our bedroom makeover

We had really neglected our bedroom after the kids were born and it became a dumping ground. We finally made it over and are so happy we did!

  • Me make a typical headboard?! Never! :) An old door topped with a vintage mirror created a romantic headboard. The patina on the door was amazing! I just scrubbed it down and protected it with a spray sealer. 3
  • A plain wooden dresser got dressed up with chalkboard painted drawers. The two tall white shutters add emphasis to the pretty vintage mirror, giving the entire dresser more presence. 2
  • A handmade vintage quilt and pretty vintage bedspread were ready and waiting for the arrival of the box springs that hadn't made it into the house yet.
  • A cute little white side table holds a clock that also received chalkboard paint. And I just HAD to inject a tiny bit of rust somewhere, so the flower vase was the perfect discreet place. :)
  • The curtains were white twin sheets with homemade tabs. A cut down laundry line was cut into pieces, knotted then hand stitched onto the sheets. Simple, casual and pretty! 1
  • Some extra storage was added behind the bedroom door by means of two reclaimed boards and different coloured hooks. Tip: you can't see the clutter when the door is wide open! 1

A $250 master bedroom makeover... for a family in need.

I along with 5 other DIY bloggers recently took a trip down South to the World's Longest Yard Sale. The tour ran through 6 states, starting in Michigan all the way to Alabama! ...»

The mission? Collecting for a single mom and her two kiddos moving into a lovely new Habitat home. GMC, the sponsor of the event, handed us a budget of $250 each and sent us on our way.

You know I'm a junker, right?! But I also understand not everyone else is, so the choices I made reflected what I loved yet in a more upscale manner. I decorated the master bedroom and here's what I came up with!

Click the link if you'd like to see a video of the full home reveal, including a link to the other 7 parts to this amazing story.

Have you ever helped out another in need with the talents you have? I'd love to hear about it!

Repurposed Wood Headboard

By recycling wood from the Habitat ReStore, painting it and then roughing it up a little I was able to create a great shabby chic headboard for our master bedroom. I added copper nails for some character and mounted it right to the wall.

  • I recently gave my boys' bedroom a makeover, and this included custom made headboards.
  • I used PureBond plywood for these headboards. After designing a template for the shape, I used a jig saw to cut it out. I stained it and added nailhead trim as a decorative accent.
  • I made a twin size headboard for my oldest son, and a mini toddler bed version for my youngest.
