Mini Master Makeover

Ooh, are we loving the alliteration?

This makeover was super mini - there were only 2 changes I made, but they has a huge impact:  a painting and a bedskirt.

Here was our bed before:

Exposed boxspring - yuck! and you can see all the stuff we store under the bed, mainly off season clothes and our board games :)  After three years of this I finally bought a bedskirt.

I chose black because I knew there was no way I could match the comforter and I didn't want to.  I also felt that it would blend in with our black furniture and look less like a skirt and more like a platform.

The second change was adding my quatrefoil painting to the formally barren wall.

You may be wondering about my barren bed.  I have no decorative pillows :(  We have a nicely sized bedroom, it obviously accommodates a king very well, but there is no place to have a bench or other piece of furniture to place the pillows on while we are sleeping.  And I hate pillows on the floor!  So much that I'd rather have no pillows at all.

  5. Another good idea for a bedskirt (incase you ever want to change it) is to just use a king flat sheet and safety pin the edges together on the corners...looks just like a platform too :) I got rid of my white bed skirt and did this technique instead...love it alomst even more and it was like $40 cheaper. Oh, and I loove your wall art! Good job. Little transformations make such a difference.
