Before and After: Bedroom Edition



Before


As you may recall from a previous post, I showed you a glimpse into my bedroom. I got a few responses from some pretty fantastic bloggers complementing me on the change. I was happy with it for a while however, it was not finished....

For your viewing pleasure...


After

The first change you will notice is the headboard. One of my Saturday projects, with the help of my mother. Just some wood, quilt batting and super cheap fabric and wha-la! A glorious new padded headboard! All for the low cost of about 80 bucks! 

Some of you may recognize the pillow, from Pottery Barn's Summer collection. It was an early birthday gift to me from the fam. I LOVE IT. I know some of you loath coral print (Decorno had had a commenter or two with this opinion) but I don't care what you people say. If done in the right way, I don't think coral will ever go out of style. Just don't go overboard.

Now, let the coral bashing begin...

I won't bash the coral! I love it :)

You should open the etsy store you have in your head :) At least set up your shop, and then when you log in and see your sad, empty shop, you'll get inspired and start makin' stuff!

Thanks for stopping by my blog :)

Cheers!

I love the room! Where did you get the lamps, BTW?

As for coral, I love it. Some of my commenters are right to say it can be overdone, but I love, love, love coral. Always.
