The Sweet Survival – Master Bedroom Makeover

Hi everyone I am Trisha @ The Sweet Survival!  I am so happy to be guest posting my master bedroom over here at DIY Showoff!  Roeshel is a special lady and I just love her blog.  So I can’t wait to share with you all our master bedroom transformation.

I wanted to use our existing bedroom furniture but give the room and bright and fresh makeover.  It started with the duvet I found on sale at Horchow.  I am sure they do longer have it it was last year when I got it.  I purchased the duvet and standard shams from there.  I added the white euro shams from West Elm and the ruffle pillow from Etsy.  The white coverlet came from Homegoods.

From the bedding I picked the dramatic teal wall color. It is Scenic Drive from Benjamin Moore.  My Mom helped me paint the room. She is a pro painter.  I had the valences made from coordinating fabric by a seamstress on Etsy – she no longer has a shop.  Last spring I completed the gallery wall and my light fixture make over.  The frames are a mix of old and new from Pottery Barn, Michael’s and Target.
I only had one nightstand from my original set so I was out to find something else to work as nightstands for the room.  Our guest room upstairs recently got converted to Carson’s nursery (it is a work in progress – almost complete) so I decided to borrow the nightstands from that room. They are the Charlotte nightstands from Pottery Barn.  The hardware was replaced with these gorgeous knobs from Anthropologie.  The lamps were purchased from Home Goods last year.
We had a old chair that we used in our living room at our old house that was completely ruined by my cat.  So I decided to have it slip covered by a local seamstress. She did an absolutely amazing job.  I love it.  I made the pillow with fabric from Denver Fabrics and purchased the throw from Overstock.
I just love how everything turned out!  Thanks so much for letting me share my space with you all.  Feel free to stop on by The Sweet Survival and check out the rest of my house and my crafting addiction!

Hating Martha, Loving Janel

Hello! Janel here from Hating Martha!
It is such an honor and privilege to be here.
Roeshel is the coolest. And her blog is pretty great too.
Oh wait…here is a picture of me. So you can picture me talking.

Yep, picture that while I share.

Okay, recently I shared about my Living Room’s jazzy new makeover.
I wanted to be sure to share it with Roeshel’s readers.
See, Roeshel has great style. And sometimes, sometimes when I
am in a decorating pickle I sneak on to her blog and look at her
house. Then copy it. Ha!! Don’t tell her.

See if you can see some hints of Roeshel in these pictures (the after ones…doh!)
I Spy Roeshel …

That coffee table I made from 2 wood pallets and a couple large tiles.
I “white washed” it with white spray paint for a beach look.

That area rug I made from 10 small rag rugs. It cost a grand total of $20.00. Crazy right!
The slipcovers I splurged on. I chose white for the sofa because my kids love to snuggle with the animals. I wanted to be able to bleach it if necessary.
All the pillow were made without sewing. Safety pins, beads, and fabric.

The corner gallery wall and nautical dresser were past projects.

Wooden pallet art, DIY octopus table, and painted IKEA chair are all past projects used for this makeover.

And my favorite…a buffet that was a lost cause, which I repainted.
I added vintage directions as wall art and some of my favorite pieces from my home.

Did you see Roeshel’s inspiration? Well, I hope so. Or I just paid her a terrible insult.
If you don’t like the new redo…Roeshel has no inspiration whatsoever!
I don’t know what you are talking about?

I used shades of cream, white, and grey whenever I was in doubt.
And, I used blue as the central accent color…in all shades.
Natural elements were used as much as possible for accessories.
I tried to copy Roeshel’s wonderful way of keeping history and style married together.
She does a great job of making a space feel “lived in” even if it was just, just decorated.

Well, if you liked what you saw stop by Hating Martha and say hi!
If you don’t like what you saw…hmmm…yeah, you can still stop by!
