The Pretty Dresser Found a Home

1:15 AM | Labels: bedroom makeover, DIY, dresser, furniture

I'm home! You know what that means? The dresser has a new home, too. My newly finished dresser is finally in my room and I'm lovin' it. This all started back in March when I found this at Goodwill:

I updated by painting it white and adding fun sparkly knobs. Much more my style! If you missed the step by step process on how I refinished it, you can find it here.

I wanted to update my room by switching out my little girl/teenage furniture with something more modern and more me, and since this is my first week back from school, I finally had the chance to do so. Don't be mad, but I was a bad blogger and totally forgot to take a picture of my old dresser that sat in my room for 8 or 10 years...but here is its matching desk set, so you can imagine what the dresser looked like.

It was big, had a laminated wood top with mirror attached, and had some floral designs on the top. It was cute for being younger, but out it goes!

In with the newly refinished dresser:

Fresh flowers in pretty jars and vases are a must!

I lined each drawer with a coordinating paper:

A cake plate is a fun way to display my favorite flowers for my hair:

Still loving my Anthro knobs:

Hi (:

....and, end picture overload! (:

Karol's Bedroom Redo!

8:25 AM | Labels: bedroom makeover, DIY, thrifting

This past week I helped my friend Lisa's mom, Karol, redo her daughter's room. Heather lives in So Cal for college, but she just got ENGAGED and needed a place to come home to in Nor Cal when she visits her parents. Unfortunately, we don't have any before pictures (but basically it was plain with a twin bed. All the frames on the wall are new, or repurposed). So I will just show you the finished product! It turned out real cute and totally updated!

White picture frames were the perfect touch above the bed. We spray painted some wood frames white and made our own custom gallery wall.

Desk Area. The pictures above the desk are out of a small calender and the frames are from the dollar store! Love fun art on a budget!

Cute brown curtains tied back with silk blue bows are perfect to anchor that side of the room.

A wonderful candle stand and candle (that smells delicious) from Pier1 Imports completes the end table.

I had lots of fun with Karol working on this project! I loved all our little ideas that didn't cost us much! Hope you all enjoy it, too (:

Love and Cute Rooms on a Budget,

Michaela

Guest Room: mini-makeover

12:02 AM | Labels: bedroom makeover, painting

We've lived in our house for 10 years now. It's a ranch, country-with-a-modern-twist, style home with exposed brick in the family room and living room, a quaint galley kitchen and the most beautiful backyard over-looking a running creek. The master bedroom was redone by my Grandma (Designs by Belinda) a few years ago. My room was redone by me my sophomore year in high school (and edited ever since...I can't stop!) and my brother's room was repainted by my dad a few years ago as well. So the guest room is the last one on the list! We've had the bedding for a while now, but I've always wanted to paint the wall the headboard is on, just to spice it up! My Grandma said she's laid in bed at night in the guest room, just dreaming about how great a coral color would look on the walls. Well Grandma, you're dream has come true (:

I'm a sucker for a good before and after, so here we go!

Okay. I realize the wreath is ugly. That's why it ain't comin back!

During:

Is taping not just the absolute worst part about painting?!

After:

Opposite side of the room. The valence my Grandma made matches perfectly with the coral color. The vertical canvas on the wall is a painting I did with the wall color and accent colors to spice up this side of the room.

Here's the artwork we decided to go with!
