Operation Redecorate

I have a friend from that I met at BYU. Well, she has started a blog called

Keep Home Simple, she has such great ideas and

has inspired me to redo my room.

I’m not the kind of person who does cheap but I am now!

I am so proud of myself,

I went to a thrift store for the first time on my own.

Yuck! I have to say I loved it!

I found a chair for my desk for $8,

I painted it purple and recovered the

seat with burlap and the best part about it,

I did it all by myself!!!

For years I have thought that it is time

I move from cheap, no style bedroom

to a more grown-up sophisticated bedroom.

I am no longer in my twenties (Shhhhh…) so,

I needed to stop having a mismatch

of color, fabrics and furniture.

Since I have the Raddest dad ever,

I was able to get an even better

headboard then the first one I saw.

I am so EXCITED...I absolutely LOVE IT!

For christmas this year I recieved

bookcases that are Awesome!
My brother Blake and my dad made them.

They are Perfect and I love them.

My curtains are UNBELIEVABLE.

So, my sister found this amazingly cheap Idea

somewhere and I decided that
I would try it. Not only did they cost me 15 bucks,

They are Amazing.

I purchased a drop cloth at Home Depot 2 for 10.

I then washed it a couple of times with
bleach and downy so it was softer in texture and color.

Then painted 6 inch strips with white paint,

I had to buy it because

I didn’t have any but I bet if I had looked a

little harder at my parents house I would have fun some.

(just because you’re painting on a drop cloth doesn’t mean it won’t soak thru to the ground,

I had white strips in the garage. Thank goodness for brothers and power washers.)

My pillows I made, all of them but 4 the 3 purple ones

They were a fabulous find at Home Goods,

Ralph Lauren $20.00 on clearance and

the round ivory one came from Kohl’s a couple of years ago.

The floral ones were my inspiration for everything.

I knew I wanted to do Purple, so

after many fabric stores, Mesa Sales is the BOMB!

They have so much to choose from.

Then I wanted to use Burlap, because everyone is doing and

just for fun I added some animal print.

I think it looks pretty Great!

So, after years of being boring and mismatched I am finally an adult.

Who knew it would take til my 31^st Birthday!

But I really don’t care because I am so in love with my New Bedroom!

Its so pretty and makes me oh so happy!

I am so Lucky and Blessed to have a Dad and 3 brothers that are

So talented and can do anything with wood!
