FINALLY!!!!!!!! Here I am - with my long promised BEDROOM TOUR. *throws imaginary confetti*
I got my paint (dramatically named "Driftwood") at Menards - WHICH IS LIKE THE MOST FANTASTIC STORE EVVVVEERR. Grey paint is super hard to pick. I DID NOT WANT IT TO TURN PURPLE OR BLUE OR WHATEVER. it had to be grey. And, I think it turned out perfecto.
ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDD *drum roll* did anyone notice something different about my bed? YES. YES. YES. I do indeedy have my pallet bed - and for frrrrreeeeeeeee. I do love that word. *grins* Making the bed was super simple, thanks to my dad. I figured out how the pallets needed to be laid, he brought his handy hand saw and I quickly was testing my new bed frame out. I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH
Let's talk about my square prints here for a second -- *screams* -- GUUUYSS square prints are like pinterest BUT on your walls. YESSS PLEASE.
I was so encouraged by the fact that my paint only costed $10. It brought SUCH a face lift to my room. If you're willing to dedicate a day in your room, watching random period dramas and I Love Lucy marathons, wearing paint clothing and covered in said paint -- ITS SO WORTH IT.
What is your favorite part of my room re-do?
Square prints - yes or YES??
Ahhhhh, your room looks so dreamy, I love it. Espically the pallet bed, the string lights, and square prints, perfection.
ReplyDeleteIT IS DREAMY. sleeping in there is soooooooooooooooooo relaxing. lol Ah, you love my favorite too ;)
DeleteI LOVE the shelving, and lights, and open space. You have my kind of decorating taste; keep the floors as open as possible while having just enough not to look bare, and then use those walls to expressa thyself, haha :).
ReplyDeleteSo, how do you go about getting square prints?
YES!! so so so YES! My mom wants me to get a rug, but my feet get SO dirty (after all, I am THE BAREFOOT GAL) so I figured once the colder season hits, I'll get a cute fluffy one. but for now? I'm staying wood.
DeleteI got them off of Snapfish! I just went on pinterest and saved some faves to my computer, uploaded them online and printed 20 for around $4! Super fun :)
Oh my gosh your room looks so nice!! I love how bright and clean looking it is. You did a lovely job :) Now it's inspiring me to redo my room :P
ReplyDeleteawwwww thank you! I LOVE HOW BRIGHT IT IS TOO. Hahaa! I tend to do that with people. sorry.. :P I would love to see what you would do! What color would you paint your walls do you think?
DeleteOhmygoodness your room!!!! Its absolutely gorgeous!!!! *squeals* I want my room to look like that!;) Right now, my famly is renting out a house so I cant decorate my room or paint or anything so I'm saving up ALOT of ideas for when we get our own house and I can decorate my room!;) I love that clean, bare, wooden floor look for a bedroom! As for the square prints--YES! I got on snapfish lol, and I'm gonna buy some as soon as I save enough money;) I REALLY loved those!
DeleteI DO TOO!!! my mom said I should get a rug, but I think I'll wait until the colder (AHH NO NO NO) season sets in. Then it will be super cozy! But for now, it'll be country. ;) They turn out great!! Just be sure to click that button for a matte picture. I accidentally forgot to do that and got gloss. :P I don't like them the same. uhhgg.
DeleteSo lovely! I would redo mine but we are moving again soon so I can't :(. I think I need to move onto uni campus!
ReplyDeleteaww, that's too bad! :P Ooh, that would be cool :D
DeleteOh, wow, your room looks wonderful! I'd love to redo my room sometime soon, as it's the same color it's been since I was 3 years old, lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily!! Woooah, that's a long time! My paint was like 5 years old, but it was suppppeerrr dirty. :P It would be fun to repaint your room.
DeleteAh it's so pretty love it
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! *fist bump*
DeleteYou have mad designing skills! I am impressed! only 10 dollars for paint that's really awesome!
ReplyDeletegosh, girl!!! Thank you..that means a lot to me. :P I go on pinterest a lot..and haha watch A LOT of Fixer Upper. Can you tell?? ;)
DeleteYou room looks really nice! Like, straight from Pinterest, and so light and cheerful - good work!
ReplyDeleteUnrelated question, but how's the no-sugar diet going for you?
Thank you Jessica!! eeek!! I LOVE HEARING IT LOOKS LIKE PINTEREST! <3 <3
Deleteuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhg. Okay, so I trashed my last few days and started anew today. I flunked for two days in a row because I went out with friends and EVERYONE WAS HAVING SHAKES. I got weak. BUT I'M HONEST SO THATS GOOD RIGHT?! I started back again today, and I already feel 5x better. I'm going to stick HARD this time. How about for you??
I was hoping that would come across as a compliment. :)
DeleteYes, I'm going pretty well, although seeing as we're being honest here, I did cheat once. But, I felt it too. (I know what you mean though, when people eat it right in front of your face, and it looks and smells so good, and you can practically taste it.. :P) Anyway, good on you for going for it again! And the moral support is really helping me, by the way. :)
Aww, yes, it did!! <3
DeleteYES IT IS SO HARD WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. :| Its helpful that I got my dad, mom and older sister to take this sugar fast, as my mom calls it. I'm doing good so far! I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER. oh good, you're really helping me too! I haven't heard much from any other girls yet. ;) you're fantastic!
Oh my goodness - your bedroom looks literally AMAZING! Re-doing a room is hard work, but the end result is so worth it, especially when it looks as good as yours does. :D
ReplyDelete~Lydia~ <3
Oh my goodness -- THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it really is. :P I spent ALL DAY in my room. It was my closet that took the longest..it used to be blue. like the whole thing - even the ceiling. :P :P :P
DeleteYou've got a new room?! Cool! Did you move? haha, it really is! I didn't want to deal with it for too long..so I picked it out IN THE STORE. I'm so spontaneous. :P AREN'T THEY?! I LOOVVVE MY SQUARE PRINTS
ReplyDeleteI like the twinkly lights, and those bookshelves (book-nerd here. Love me some nice bookshelves. ;)), and your bedspread color looks like a color that I've been into lately! :D Well, a little different, but I've been liking turquoise-y colors. ;) And your paint job is nice!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, good job on your room, Julia! It's so bright in there! :D
And yes to square prints! :) ;)
BOOKSHELVES ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK. I took them off the wall to paint and I was about ready to cry. It was like "I LOVE MY BOOKSHELVES THEY BELONG ON THE WALL COVERED IN BOOKS." You can kinda see the white dresser in the photos, right? Well, I filled ALL OF THOSE DRAWERS WITH BOOKS. yyyyyyyyeah. :P
Deleteaww, thank you Micaiah!! I love how it's super bright on same days and dark and cozy at bedtime. <3
Congratulations!!! You did a great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you girl!! I've missed you ;)
DeleteYour room looks so great!! I love it!!
