BEFORE
AFTER
I repainted their shelves. I used the same colors as the shoe pockets hanging on the door and some matching storage benches.
I redecorated their lamp, using the same colors. I was kind of a hack. If you look closely, you can see that the spray paint didn't stay where it was supposed to. I used puff paint to accent the flowers, and then I hot-glued buttons into the middle of the flowers.
I had found this shelf for Joy several months ago. She is such a collector, so I wanted her to have a place to put all her stuff. I painted it to match the room, and she has already started filling it. What's funny is that the white paint has already chipped near the bottom. . . oh well, I think it looks "antiqued."
Yes, this is a LOUD dresser. Oh well. This is the Pepto Bismol Paint I wrote about last week. It came in handy. Hope hates the dresser, but she will have to live with it. At least until I feel like painting again.
I also made them each their own French memo boards, which I haven't posted yet. Those, combined with the huge corkboard we hung, means that they are no longer allowed to tape anything to the walls. I will take pics of the memo boards once they are up.
This was a lot of fun. But I think I've had enough painting and decorating for quite some time.
Oh its BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the white loft bed, I really wanted one. Those storage seats are great- I am going to look if they deliver.
And I LOVE the color!
We wanted to find another white bed, but we just couldn't pass up the deal we found on the bunk bed!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I ended up liking the color once everything was back in the room.
Congratulations!! What a BIG project; it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteWell, Jen; you can always paint that new bed white!
ReplyDeleteI thought about painting the bed white, but I was pretty sick of painting by the time we got the bed. LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooks great. I love it.
ReplyDeleteWell Meijer has about the worst online catalog system on the planet. Can you tell me what those cool benches were called specifically? I have been looking for months for something exactly like that, that I could afford!
ReplyDeleteEssie, I'm sorry - Meijer doesn't have an online catalog that I know of. They pretty much just showcase what's on sale. The weird thing about these benches and other accessories is that they weren't even in a sale flyer. I just happened to spot this little collection of stuff on an end cap, and the stuff has been on sale for about 4 weeks straight.
ReplyDeleteI already threw away the packaging - it wasn't like some name brand. They measure 24" x 12" x 12".
If you want to know more, you can go to my profile and email me. I would even be willing to go pick some up and ship them to you, if you wanted to go that far. :) Otherwise, you have to drive to Indiana!
I'm drooling here...that is just adorable, I love pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lovely offer, but I can't even imagine the shipping and they are probably all gone now anyway. I did find the store on line, but their site is a big huge mess. They have that great loft bed though for under $200, which when I was looking last year I could not find one under $1200 so I am going to remember them!
ReplyDeleteI think the dresser by the way is cute, the drawer pulls do a lot to break up the pink. I have realized my new favorite color is hot pink. Wierd.
