Bedroom makeover

Our bedroom was starting to look a bit dated and I was over the dark wood.



It was time for a makeover. This picture which I had cut out of a magazine was my inspiration. Of course, my finished room looks nothing like this, but inspiration has to come from somewhere.



The first to receive the treatment was the bedhead.



I got out a girl's best friend, her staplegun, and a plentiful supply of wadding was stapled to the headboard.



This was then covered with a piece of soft creamy coloured striped fabric.



Then I painted the bedside tables and I couldn't believe the difference. Those ugly tables suddenly had a fresh modern look and my new Persephone book was a perfect colour match.



The cross stitch pictures above the bed were replaced with small canvases covered with fabric



et voila a new fresh look.



Help, I can feel a new list coming on. I have just seen this picture and I am inspired to make an ottoman for the living room.



Don't hold your breath.
