Coffee Table Makeover

Today I'm posting a coffee table makeover that I did shortly after I moved in. I found this sweet little coffee table on kijiji for $20 and imediatly fell in love with it! Of course it took me a while to get around to finish it and my friends thought I was crazy for buying it in the first place while it was just sitting around my house.

Before

Now remember that I live in an apartment which means no garage or backyard to spray paint in. I do have a balcony but this piece was solid wood and heavy with a capital H so there was no way my puny little arms would be able to get it out there.

So I set this plastic room up in my dining room to create a spray paint area. Which actually work very well and I will totally do it again if I need to.

Which lead to this final product.

After

I absolutely love how it turned out and think it is great in my living room! What do you think?

Bedroom before & after

Hello,


So I'm a little later than the weekend but here is how my bedroom turn out. If you remember this is the blank slate that was my bedroom.

Before

...and after a little furniture and effort this is the outcome.

After

The headboard is made from canvases covered with padding and material in a dark grey color that is a little hard to see from the pictures. Then they are attached to the wall on 3M velcro fasteners so I can remove them at any time if I want to change the color or shape of the headboad.

Till next time!

Bedroom Inspiration

I know it's been a while since I first posted the initial images of my place but it's taken me some time to get things together.

I will post a bedroom reveal this weekend so I figured I'd start with where my inspiration came from for my bedroom.

I love this idea for a head board from the Gossip Girl bedroom. The idea of spanning it along the entire wall appeals to me. Obviously I could never afford what has been done in this room but I can definitely DIY something similar.


My color inspiration came from this photo. I love all the purples and grays with a big chunk of white. Unfortunately my walls are a taupe color so the white wall idea is out but the bedding can be done!
I'll be back this weekend to post what my bedroom ended up looking like!

Till next time!
