Budget Friendly Modern Farmhouse Master Bedroom Makeover

Having just moved to a townhouse 6 months ago, we've been slowly working room by room to make our place feel like home.

Like many others, my dream home is at the end of a tree-lined driveway with a lush green lawn, wrap around porch, and a welcome mat by the door ~ out in the country, of course!

So, although my current home is smack dab in the middle of town, I'm trying to give it a Modern Farmhouse heart.

The most recent space we tackled was our Master Bedroom :

budget friendly modern farmhouse master bedroom makeover

It was a basic (and bland) blank slate to start with.

The wall across from the bed was an awkward space with a door leading to the main bathroom. Although a decent sized room, there wasn't a lot of wiggle room. The cedar chest at the end of our bed resulted in many stubbed toes...!

We started off the makeover by giving the room a fresh coat of paint, and adding in a feature wall of color.

The boring wall across from the bed got a new arrangement to create a little reading nook, and has become our favorite corner of the house!

Adding in layers and textures through re-purposing items we already had and budget friendly purchases, we finished off the space for under $200!

To check out all the details of the makeover with links to all the project tutorials, head on over to the Harbour Breeze Blog.

Bye Bye-Fold Doors! Shiplap Inspired Closet Door Makeover.

When your budget gets changed because your husband thinks a new floor is more important than sliding barn doors you get creative with what you have. I’m not going to talk bad about these louvered bi-fold doors, since there are lots still in use. It’s not that they are ugly but good grief they are a pain to clean and didn’t fit my new farmhouse inspired Prayer/Workout room.How I made my closet doors fit “my style”. Tools: Chop saw, tape measure and hot glue gun (don't skimp, the cheap ones don't last). Supplies: Dated bi-fold doors, V-groove pine boards (Lowes), lots of glue sticks, caulk and your favorite Paints color.Measure the slat opening, from left to right and cut your pine board to fit. Start at the bottom, tongue side up. Apply hot glue on any surface the first board will touch and hold into place for about 15 seconds. Then apply glue to the first boards tongue and on the next few slats. Then slide the groove side onto the tongue of the first board and press down for 15 seconds. Repeat until your doors are covered. (see short video)Use caulk to fill in any gaps around the edges and prep for paint.I used:Shabby Paints Snow White over the pine slats to match the rest of the door then painted everything Licorice (black) then distressed. Add your favorite hardware and enjoy your beautiful work.Happy Happy Happy

Disguising a Thermostat

Most thermostats are hidden in a hall way or other inconspicuous place. Mine just happens to be placed on a bare wall that sticks out like a sore thumb. Its placement kept me from hanging art on the wall without making it off centered. I seen these metal racks at Ross for under $20 and it sparked an idea to finally hide my thermostat.***NOTE: By using the wire shelves, venting is not disturbed. The knick knacks are placed adjacent to the full plastic thermostat cover being sure not to obstruct any airflow patterns. This was well thought out to ensure there would be no disturbance to the performance of the equipment. ***

Shabby Chic Pumpkins

This is not your typical pumpkin! Why do pumpkins need to be orange? Well in my house they don't, I wanted something that matched my farmhouse style so I designed these easy pumpkins that are rustic but elegant. So lets not waste time its October already, but these are fast and you can use them until Thanksgiving.

Master Bedroom Gets a Modern Country Style Charm Makeover

Hello there...I am sooo happy to share our master bedroom makeover with you. It took some time and determination to keep the cost down. I never really believed the space would open up like it did. The project was divided into mini-projects. Usually I try and overhaul a space in one weekend. This one took over a year--from designing, to settling on the most affordable product, to deciding the order of the mini-projects, to finishing them. Sigh...it was really worth taking the time.I've posted the after photos with a brief description. Over at olympicnest.com you can see the before and after photos and a more lengthy description of the process we went through to complete each mini-project.

DIY Master Bedroom Closet Makeover on a Budget

We’ve been working on it slowly for a couple of months around other projects and, well, life. It’s been 8 long years living with these pieced together racks so it’s time to get organized. I can’t say that I’m not embarrassed to be showing you this but here’s what needed to happen:

From Traditional to Modern: Master Bedroom Furniture Makeover

Why spend the money on new bedroom furniture when you can simply transform your current set with a fresh coat of paint and new hardware!
I removed the old hardware and completely sanded the nightstand, dresser and mirror. For the paint I chose Valspar flat black. I used a small foam roller to paint the large surfaces and a brush for the detailed areas. Be careful with the paint job until it fully cures so you won't get any knicks or scratches (about 7 days).
Entire makeover cost around $50 for paint and supplies, then another $50 for the hardware. ...

Master Bedroom Makeover on a Budget

I never liked how our master bedroom looked, specifically the paint color. The tone of the blue was just ‘off’ somehow. I usually LOVE blue and our dining room, living room and office are blue, but there was just something about this blue that wasn’t doing it for me. So, I never really finished the room in the first place.

Little Barn Door for Home Security

In the news lately there have been reports of people putting cameras on the outside of peepholes to see into your house/apartment/hotel room. I (Steph) started thinking about the peephole in my front door and possible ways of covering it when not in use.
After much thought, I came up with a DIY solution that is cute, functional, removable, and adds a little more security to my home. Mom helped bring the idea into reality and had most of the materials we used in her craft stash! Visit our blog to watch a video of it come together.

Bottle Cap Floor Tile

We hated the musky carpet in the office / craft room, So, rather than buy a normal floor covering, I decided to challenge myself. I began collecting beer / soda bottle caps from friends and family across country as well as circulating a picture of my project to local pubs. It took over a year to complete because I waited for people to drink the right colors. I think it turned out amazing!
