Once I was in the thick of the home renovations, I found it difficult to stop! Even though I had severely pinched a nerve in my neck during the kitchen reno, I was not ready to slow down.
I asked hubby what he thought about switching up our larger bedroom with the smaller craft room. I reasoned that I spend more waking time in the sewing room than I do in the bedroom. And after all, when we are in the bedroom, we are in the bed, so why do we need a large room! Am I right or what?
So he agreed! HAPPY DAY! I'M GETTING A LARGER SEWING ROOM! (next post, lol)
But first, I have to move everything from the sewing room into "the man cave."
Yowsa! I have a lot of stuff! Time to turn the "craft" room solely into a "sewing" room. With the exception of our computers of course.
I have a ton of yarn and bow making supplies out in the shed now. I must make a craigs list posting!
Alright, here it is, the bedroom reno:
 |
| The craft room gutted and cleaned |
 |
| I painted a line around the room because I wanted to use two paint colors and add some chair rail. |
 |
| My color choices: Glidden Sea Spray for the upper and Glidden Ground Nutmeg for the lower. After using the Valspar from Lowes the for the kitchen, I chose these from Walmart for the bedroom. Much better coverage in my opinion!) |
 |
| Hubby hard at work! |
 |
| We did new trim in the ENTIRE room! Baseboards, doors, and added the chair rail. |
 |
| My first ever decoupage project! I loved this paisley fabric I already had in my stash and thought it would be perfect for this! I also decided to accent with the green. Valspar Spritz of Lime. I went back to the Valspar simply because they have better sample sizes than walmart does and you can choose your color sample, where as walmart has a limited selection of premade samples. |
 |
| After doing all the brown, I decided to add a pop of blue instead of all brown! |
 |
| YAY! The king bed fits perfectly! My rug is not large enough for the room so hubby gets the cold hardwood in the mornings, lol. |
 |
| Some artwork I picked out |
 |
| There is a distinct love theme here |
 |
| Hubby bought this for me as a gift years ago, the heart has our names in it. (Darren + Jennifer) |
 |
| I loved all the colors in the piece and actually bought it before we ever thought of moving rooms! |
 |
| Gotta have the tv! And a new door to boot! Lowes carries doors that do not have the holes precut for only 19.00 and my hubby is Mr. Handyman so that was not an issue. |
 |
| My handmade bench I picked up at Salvation Army, which I paid way too much for but I feel in love and it's for a good cause right! I got this bit of fabric at a rummage sale, I plan to use it to cover a cushion for the bench...maybe! |
 |
| So it's cliched, I don't care, I love they way it fits in to the whole romantic air of the room. See my cute lampshade too! And these would be my makeshift curtains! Yes, they are a shower curtain folded in half, lol. I am supposed to be sewing new curtains, not blogging, but dang, I needed to catch up! The curtains are the same paisley material I used to decoupage the built in. I am thinking I might use that same fabric for the bench cushion...maybe! lol |
 |
Yes, another cliched, but again, I don't care, it's my bedroom and I like it, lol. I am planning to do a collage of pictures all around this. I have been gathering pictures of Hubby and me over the past 21 years to use here.
|
And there you have it! Our new little love nest! I can't even begin to express what a warm space this really is. It is so romantic and cozy. I love snuggling up with hubby at night.
So of course this is all well and good, but all of my sewing room is STILL in the mancave, so up next is the SEWING ROOM!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!!
