Bedroom Makeover - Almost Done ✔


Well, things have gone a little awry at Chez Pout.
My bag was packed and I was ready to go, but I didn't leave on a jet plane.  Bertie had other plans for me this morning.  You don't need to know the details but suffice to say, I spent my time at the vet, then mopping up and mothering him.

I spent some of my sofa time with him thinking about my bedroom project and how I hadn't shared with you one of my new loves.  So let's do it ...




Taadaahhhh !!!





Meet my new love, my nightstand.



Cute huh?  If you like traditional, that is, which I do.  So it's cute.
I searched high and low to find cabinets which fitted the mood of the space, and fitted the space itself.
This narrow unit is wood, the finish is a soft grey chalk paint and the unit top and drawer inners are left unpainted.



The narrow unit on the left was what I was working with previously.


Now I have ample surface space for water carafe, tissues etc and drawer space to neatly stash medication, hand cream etc etc.
The pair of units gives a more cohesive look to the room.  Do you agree?


My next task is to sort out a nice window dressing.  The blackout blind doesn't quite work and it looks clumsy.
Any suggestions for dressing a dormer window, ladies?




So bedroom project - almost done, ✔.


And back to today.  It's been quite a rollercoaster.
But Bertie seems to be responding well to his medication, so I'm hoping to be able to join holidaying TP soon, claws crossed.




For I really do need to be Leaving on A Jet Plane.



A la perchoine,

  11. Lovely. How you decorate your home says a lot about you, but it can also affect how you feel day and night.

  12. Hotel rooms can be inspiration for bedroom makeover Ideas. A few months ago, I stayed at a really nice hotel and took notice of how the room was decorated.
