Girl’s Bedroom Set Refreshed with Paint, Paper & Pulls

It’s always good to know when to pick your battles, right? For instance, I know that when I am on Craigslist I will find projects, and when I find projects, I will not be able to resist them. Then, that leads to overload in my workshop and me asking myself, “What did you do?!?” Solution: STAY OFF CRAIGSLIST. There. I said it.

Farmhouse Master Bedroom Grand Finale

{deep breath} It’s done. Our year-long journey of remodeling to give us our farmhouse master bedroom is complete. If you’re new here, there’s more to the story that meets the eye. We are a family of 8, but not when we started this project. Having lost two babies mid-term just before expecting our 6th child was enough pressure, but when baby came 6 weeks early it put EVERYTHING on hold. Our full baby story is here.

To catch new readers up to speed, here is the before of our bedroom…

I’m not going to fuss around…Are you ready? I am!

With all the work involved in this project, I first want to give praise to God for blessing our family beyond measure, and to my family – my husband and kids. Without their efforts and love, it just wouldn’t have come to fruition.

You’ve seen how we’ve refinished our floors, created a faux barn beam ceiling, added plank walls, and finishing touches, now join me on a tour through our refinished (an all mine) bedroom…

Come on in and see for yourself how to change a room with a DIY attitude. Read more
