Bedroom redo






I decided to give my room a makeover since it looked pretty sad and really haven't been a fan of the lighter wood, I started my Pinterest search for chic bedroom yet still on the traditional side...Here are the before pictures-



Then came the repainting of furniture. This was quite the ordeal. I bought a 5 gallon bucket of primer and a light milky cream paint. I had to put 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of Behr paint and coat of antique glaze and finally a coat of polyurethane. Whew it was quite the project.




We then painted the bedroom and bathroom-
We needed two coats of primer but we were able to get away with one coat of paint.
After several samples I ended up choosing Ashes by Behr



 

The first time for grey on the wall!


Loving it!



And all painted! Now just for decorations! 



   
                      Love these 2 floral pictures that match perfectly- Goodwill $3 each





After all the walls and furniture was painted I bought the bedspread at West Elm for $99. And my 2 prized chairs at Tjmaxx for $110 each. 

I needed a few poppy accents to make my room POP- Most of the decorations came from Hobby Lobby and a few from Tuesday Morning and Kirklands.
