My Bedroom Makeover!!!!!!!!! {Final project for American Crafter}

I am so excited to show you guys my Bedroom Makeover, it has been something I have been wanting and thinking and putting off doing for a LONG time now....
I just kept pretending that I didn't mind the look of my room....
Butttt I was finally inspired to make the room HOME--thank you for the motivation American Crafter!

Andddd this will be my final plea for you to go over and vote for your favorite project---
I just KNOW they are ALL going to be amazing!

My bedroom makeover is completely and totally "me".

I did everything I possibly could fit into the past 3 days---

I feel like it is a perfectly meaningful 

{I have special stories about just about everything in the space!}

special and relaxing space---

everything I was wishing for!

I had fun refinishing all 4 of these pieces!!!

Bed frame:

Ohhhh I have been wishing my husband would let me paint this bed frame FOREVER!

Anddddd I finally just jumped in and did it!

I instantly regretted it while I was doing it....

buttttt now I can't imagine why I didn't do it months ago.

It just lightens up the room SO much!

{and do you remember this old bench/coffee table I up-cycled a few months ago?
Well it has found a new home!}

Dresser:

Next I tackled this dresser.
It has been sitting in my garage since I moved it---my landlords were getting rid of it----
soooo I rescued it.
And I started to think that it might become a permanent fixture in my garage
{my husband started to put garage stuff in it....
and I knew I had to take it over or I would loose it forever}
BUT
I hated the waterfall top....
{don't hate me if you love them!}
Soooo I helped hubs cut it off!

Anddd much MUCH better right?!

I like to pretend that it was painted just for me by 

Miss Mustard Seed or Shaunna from Perfectly imperfect

my two blog idols when it comes to decor and furniture!

{In my dreams would I own one of their pieces!}

Soooo I pretend and make my own version!

Night stand:

Sweet and simple, light and airy.

Guess that is all I have to say about this one....

Ohhh except did you notice we have two different lights for our room?

Hubs requested a more "boy-ish" lamp for his side....

hummm sure this works right?

 chair:

I just smudged it up with paint, distressed it anddd stopped there because 

I like it---

imperfect and all.

I don't mind at all that it is missing a slat on its back....

it fits right in with my home---because it is NOT perfect at all!!

I focused on making everything light and white--while blending grays and tans---

It should be noted that 

I didn't spend more than $6.00 on any of the furniture!

I LOVE up-cycling!

Then when I was done with the big projects:

I did some smaller special and personal projects that make the space feel like home!

Noooo I don't love the number 81 but I sure do love Aug. 1st!

:o)

I am such a dork but I am all about special art!

It honestly seems like I can't keep myself from giving everything new looks lately.

& this is no exception!

Much better right?!

SOOOooooooooooo
