Bedroom Makeover

It all began with a new bedset...

In Chicago, I picked up a bedset - which has embroidery. The picture is of the package, because it is still being shipped to me. The bedset features robin's egg blue, chocolate brown and champagne colors.

Next came the bedroom walls:



I was sick of living in apartments full of white walls and decided to paint our bedroom walls Martha Stewart's Robin's Egg Blue. (Of course, this was with the help of my boyfriend.)

I couldn't stop with the walls:

We found this bookshelf at the local thrift store. I decided to paint that too.

After painting the thrifted bookshelf, I had to move our matching chocolate brown chair into our bedroom. After all, it matched our new color scheme! Now we have a mini reading area at the foot of our bed.

Up Next:

I still plan on sewing curtains for the window. I want to make a shear champagne colored curtain. And then with a thicker fabric, I hope to make a chocolate brown outer curtain. I can't wait to get the bedset and the curtains up and finished! (And maybe a new area rug???)
