I have a small problem with follow through. I went out of my way last year to declare that it was going to be the year of the Bedroom. I cozied up one little corner and I literally did nothing else. In fact, I’ve since borrowed the items I cozied up the corner with and moved them to different areas of the house. So, I’m totally still at square one. What I need is a plan. A plan that is broken down into bites I can handle. A detailed plan that will help me stay on track. I’m talking bullet points and due dates, people. First, some inspiration.
My main inspiration is that I want dark, saturated, navy blue walls. I love minimalist bedroom feel that dark walls give. My furniture is dark wood and I want to offset all of that darkness with white curtains and bedding. I don’t know if I’m the last one to the Groupon party, but I found 800 threadcount king size sheets on Groupon for $39.99 discounted from over $200. I snatched those right up and I plan to look there first for a comforter or duvet when I’m ready to make that purchase. The sheets are due to arrive in a few days, so I’ll do some type of quick update about the quality once I’ve gotten my mitts on them.
I have a couple of DIY’s that I want to do for this makeover, too. I have a little desk that I want to keep in the room to act as a desk/vanity. It needs a nice update and I’m excited about figuring out what to do with it. I also know of an 80’s king size headboard that is gathering dust in a certain attic and just screaming for some bright white spray paint.
