Bedroom Redo

I really wouldn't call this a 'redo', because this bedroom just happened to be a result of us shoving leftover furniture into it.  The room was never 'done', necessity just came into play when we needed a bed to sleep on, lamps for reading and a dresser to place our clothes.  All that without spending any money.   What got the wheels turning is after watching a show about a couple who go to a sex therapist to help rekindle the spark that is missing from their relationship (don't ask me why I was watching this, I think only because it was late and I was flicking thru channels and ended up on this one but maybe thats a whole therapy session in itself! )  I couldn't get something the therapist said out of my mind.  The therapist makes a point to visit the couple at their home and asks to see their bedroom.  She goes on to say that the reason she wants to see the bedroom is because it usually shows what kind of state your relationship is in. Messy, dishelved , neglected room = messy, neglected relationship. The couple she visited had a beautifully decorated home .... except...wait for it... yes, not the bedroom!  I then thought, does everyone know this?  Because my/our bedroom is not where I want it to be (design wise) haha.


Here is a picture of the room as it sits now. My thriftiness came into play when we needed a bed.  We already owned two brand new twin mattresses from another room, so I had the hubs build a frame that they would fit in.  We also made a headboard from found driftwood planks.  So the plan is to paint, get a new duvet, deal with the lighting and nightstand etc, etc.  So keep posted for the reveal!
