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.

Oooo...I hate pillows on the floor too. Sooo gross and irritating. Love the print you did!! It makes such a statement over your bed. Way to go girl!
ReplyDeleteSometimes its those little things that can make a difference! Nice that you put your art piece some place you can see it and appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great, and I love your painting!
ReplyDeleteAnother 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.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love it if we didn't have throw pillows! It's a girl thing. Love the art above your bed! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting!
