I love room makeovers! I love seeing a boring space become something beautiful and this makeover is special. Carla from A Wannabe Mermaid’s Diary of Living Out Loud decorated her sister’s master bedroom. Here is her post:
Because I love her….
I do really love you Jules & Steve.
My nieces and my Mom really worked like dogs to complete the whole makeover in 4 hours and 20 minutes FLAT!
Ahhhhh that colour is like tonic…that caramel and chocolate, the room is starting to look like a Caramilk bar.
BEFORE – used donated IKEA special….yukky pine.
….much better hey?
Now the room is starting to take shape!
A corner to curl up in.
It all makes sense.
The whole room in fact came in at just over $40.00 to redo. I gathered decor and pictures from her girlfriends, my closets and those that wished to donate towards the room, my Mom remade over a bed-in-a-bag set she already had. I haunted second hand stores for about a month and got a lamp, shoe organizer, decor items and craft papers at a steal. The only things actually bought for the room were new curtains and some paint. I remade the dresser over from a donation from our I.T. guy at work.
I have to say this was one of my favourite projects to date not only because it turned out so gorgeous but because it truly showed my sister and my BIL how much I love them.
Tears were present at the reveal which only cemented the notion that I already knew…. she loved it!
What a big beautiful difference! I love the chocolate wall and the romantic lighting!
Great job Carla! Thanks so much for sharing!
What a gorgeous room. It turned out beautiful and you are so wonderful to do this for your sister. Just gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
Thanks Roeshel! I'm now being asked to do this by other girlfriends, we're also thinking of having a "swap party" to keep all our decorating ideals down in cost! When times are tough, the decorating divas get tougher 🙂
It looks so pretty and comfortable, love the brown!
BTW what a fantastic birthday gift, one that will last for a looong time!
What a sweet thing to do for her sister and BIL! I had to laugh at her description of the room because I have similar colors in my living room and dining room and it makes me think of a dark chocolate Milky Way Bar. I even mentioned that in my post yesterday!
