One Room Challenge | Week 4: Budget Friendly Master Bedroom Makeover

October 23, 2019 - 2 comments

Welcome back! It's week 4 of the One Room Challenge where I have insanely jumped into the madness and am regretting my decision right about now.

What is the One Room Challenge? It is where 20 featured designers are making over a space in 6 weeks. All of the featured designers will create amazing spaces, armed with sponsors and the ability to renovate and make drastic changes to their homes. I jumped on the guest participant bandwagon and feel like melting into a puddle of tears right now.

If you are new here, my hubby and I live in a rental home where I have been slowly adding our touch to our home using creativity and ingenuity! You can visit my last 2 One Room Challenge makeovers where I re-designed our kitchen with renter friendly updates and I revamped our son's old bedroom into my sewing room!

I am giving our master bedroom a refresh. My goal is to stick to a very tight budget, and re-use what I have and shop the house as much as I can. I have been searching Facebook marketplace for a few things, nightstands in burled or flamed wood or a large area rug, but I have fallen short. Fingers crossed something will pop up in time!

What I have managed to accomplish is to paint the walls, TWICE! The initial colour wasn't speaking to me, so I switched to Cloud White by Benjamin Moore. The throw pillows I had on my bed, now don't seem to jive with the rest of the space, so in the last hour I am sewing new ones.

New hardware was purchased and ordered from Lee Valley, waiting for their arrival this week!

I was wanting to use O'verlays to beef up the current Hemnes dressers in the room but the turn around time for O'verlays for our Ikea dressers was too long, so I am not going to be using them at this time.

This Liberace gold mirror followed me home from Homesense.
