Our bedroom has taken me a while! We started living in this house in June of 2018 and it wasn’t until February (9 months later) of 2019 that this space felt “complete.” This is our safe haven and place of rest so I love that it finally feels finished!!
I actually remembered to take pictures on my iPhone throughout this process so you could see the progression over the past 9 months!
Phase one
June – September (this is what it looked like for our first 4 months)
This felt like bare bones for a while and I wasn’t fond of it but our budget only allowed us to prioritize one room at a time which started with the spaces where people/we would be most: living room, dining room, & my office. Soo this got put on the back burner!
Phase two
September – January (this is what it looked like for the following 6 months)
What changed from phase one: We bought a new bed spread & added toss pillows, curtains, and frames to the walls. I rearranged the lamps & decorations we had on our dressers & put the fan on the ground.
Phase three
January- present
What changed: We bought a new headboard, side tables and lamps. I made our vows in InDesign & got them printed at Staples- those now fill the blue frames on either side of the window above my dresser. Drew’s grammy helped me hem the four curtains panels as well! I rearranged the decorations on our dresser (this will likely be a never ending change haha) and side tables.
where its from:
Hemnes dressers & side tables: IKEA/ Headboard + bed frame: Wayfair/ Mattress: Sears/ Bike Bookends: Target/Robe rack: TJ Maxx/ Bedspread, shams & throw blankets: Target/ Toss pillows: TJ Maxx/ Vow frames: Michaels/ Vow printing: Staples/ Blue side table lamps: Wal-Mart/ Gold dresser lamp: Wal-Mart/ Curtains rods: Target/ Blue black out curtains: Wal-Mart/ Gold picture frames: Target/ Scripture prints: She Reads Truth/ Candles: Hobby Lobby & Target/ Monica’s alarm clock: American Girl Doll (yes, it still works from 3rd grade haha)/ Drew’s alarm clock: Amazon
Hope you enjoyed! Until next time friends!
