My Son's Bedroom Makeover #5

Ahhh, here is the almost complete picture.

All the walls recieved new paint and the room recieved a much needed cleaning.

I had removed about 2 years worth of trash and junk.

I purchased the black bedspread to tie things together and I am dying the old curtains black to match.

Another example of recycling here!

My Son's Beroom Makeover #4

Here is the almost finished project. Here we have removed the tape and the opposite wall has been painted.

I am still unsure of the colors, but it looks nice!

My Son's Bedroom Makeover #3

Now adding the 3rd color a almost mint or seafoam green.

We started to "cut in" the green on the opposite wall too.

My Son's Bedroom Makeover #2

I decided to add the black boxes to even the color out.

Each square was taped off with "blue" painters tape and 2 coats of paint was applied to each square.

You can see some of the mess!

My Son's Bedroom Makeover #1

My sons bedrrom has been a huge mess for sometime so we decided to give it a makeover.

True Family Fun

This is funny! This is what my dad does after Thanksgiving dinner.

This is Carol (L) , myself and Kim (R). How embarrassing? We really do not look like this.

Cheap and Creative Bedroom Makeover

Are you tired of a spare bedroom's look and desire a new look without spending a fortune?

Well, then we may have a simple in-expensive solution for you.

We gave this room (pictured) a brand new look by applying new paint, utilizing a old closet door, styrafoam, cushion foam, fabric, hot glue gun, staple gun and a little sweat equity....and wala....a fresh new look for a real low price. Your friends and family will never believe you did this your self!

Head Board for queen size bed:

We found a used closet door and cut the length down to 64 inches long, glued on 2 inch foam on te front face, wrapped in fabric and stapled from the back. We used "J" style mirror clips to hang the head board to the wall.

Window Valance to match:

(measure window trim, outside edge to outside edge and make the inside opening of the valance to be approx 2 inches over size)

We cut and glued 3/4 inch strafoam (basement insulation) together forming a box (4 sides: top, front, rght side and left side....there is no back or bottom). After gluing the styrafoam together with a hot glue gun, we wrapped in fabric and glued to foam. We dressed the bottom edge with lace for a finished look. To install the valance over the window, we set it on the window trim...it is very light...sometimes you may have to nail it to the wall from the top side.

We chose a velvet olive and gold stripped fabric for a more elegant feel. This head board works great as a back rest for sitting in bed and reading or watching TV, because of the 2 inch thick foam.

Check with us in the future for more "trash to treasures" ideas, we are full of them :-)
