Primary Bedroom Makeover

I feel like I say this a lot but this makeover has been a long time coming. I have been dreaming about a comfy relaxing bedroom for months, and (spoiler alert) I DID IT!!


I always tell people that a space can affect your mood. So you want to create a space that brings you joy, peace, or creativity. Whatever works for YOU. I wanted our bedroom to fee peaceful and calm. I struggle with an overactive mind and so when its time to sleep I need a space that helps me slow down and bring on the zzzz's, ya know?

First, I started with the wall.


I wanted a feature wall that wasn't too busy but would still change the space and add some class. I will include the tutorial for this design soon.



Second, I moved onto the side tables. I had a big job for these nightstands! The have to do a lot (I require a lot of work from furniture) my sweet hubby uses a CPAP to breath at night and it has be sitting on his nightstand for years! I needed to make something that would contain the unit at night and then close up and look clean and orderly during the day! This is the design I made.


I have a tutorial and free plans here - How to Make Nightstands with CPAP Storage and Secret drawer https://youtu.be/FGDZsk7hUEQ


Third - I grabbed this headboard from Amazon and I scoured the site to find something class and on a budget! I am a budget DIYer for sure (until I get to the bedding, I splurged a bit there). Here is the head board.


Here is a quick link, it was $160

Fourth- its the lighting. I really wanted something that hung above the nightstands for space conservation but also because the tops of the nightstands move.




I grabbed these globe glass sconces at Ikea because I absolutely love the size of them. I wasn't able to wire them to hang directly from the ceiling for multiple reasons (I wont go into it here its annoying and a long story) so I used the extra long corded bulbs and plugged them in next to the bed behind the side tables. Not ideal, but I kinda love them now.

Last but not least is the bedding!!



I searched forever to find light, airy, soft. I fond most of it at target!

This is the LARGE center pillow on the bed









Here is the Euro Textured Plaid Decorative throw from the McGee line - https://rstyle.me/+_LQB9XI_xJks_J9WJPdn7g


I have two of these on both sides behind the one above









Then the comforter and sheet set.


I grabbed the grey stripped microfiber sheets and these are SO SOFT!

That's it! This side of the room is finished! I have plans for the other side not shown haha and that's coming soon. Thanks for reading and hopefully this helps.
