Wanna know the best part? We did this entire bedroom remodel for $539 including chair rail and picture frame moulding.
Here’s an overview of what went down during our weekend of chaos fun:
We painted the walls a soft calming gray, in an accidental cross between Valspar’s “Gravity” and “Silver Leaf” custom mixed by Home Depot in Behr Paint and Primer in One (try and say that five times fast…);
I finished this remodel with literally not one minute to spare just in time to enter it into the interior design contest. With a bit more time, I would have completed the following:
– hung a new light fixture (I would like a lantern for a unique feel)
– finished reupholstering the ottoman to my French Wingback Chair and staged it at the foot of our bed to serve as a bench and ottoman to the chair
– hung black and white prints in an eclectic assortment of vintage white frames on our longest wall
I will post pictures of the additions when the room is complete to my liking. Still, our submission was selected as one of the finalists, and 50% of our score is based on votes. So far we are doing really well! If you like what we did and would like to vote for us, please go to Ivory Homes Facebook page, “like” them, and then “like” my submission.
I am still so flattered to have been chosen as a finalist. I hope our crazy efforts will inspire others who don’t have any formal experience to step out of their comfort zones and take a stab at remodeling and decorating. Trust me- if I can do it, so can you!

>Wow! First off, props to the hubs for helping! I love so many of your ideas particularly using scrapbook paper for artwork. I am headed to Michaels to see if I can find any contrasting pages for my living room mantle. Loved that you had the vision to see beyond white curtains and a brown lamp. Thanks for the inspiration!

>AWESOME!!! I love that you added your fabric near the top of the curtain instead of on the edges or the bottom. Definitely stands out, and very inspiring. Fantastic!
>I am still wondering how you did those night stands. AMAZING! Does something have to be solid wood to re-paint? Do you have to sand it first? Everything looks amazing, but those night stands!?!?!? BREATHTAKING!
What kind of paint did you use on the lamps? I’ve been thinking about doing this to some old lamps I have sitting around…
How did you paint/glaze the side tables?? That’s exactly what I’m wanting to do to mine but have no idea how to do it! Thanks!
Where did u get those pictures frames?
Sorry Ruby, this was a guest post so I don’t know. There is a link to the original owner at the top of the post. Thanks!
Could you share, what the paint you used for this perfect grey color of your night tables?
