master bedroom makeover

welcome to my *new* master bedroom! i think it turned out awesome! the yellow flower pillows were my inspiration for this makeover. then i redid my headboard {see this post} and then decided to go with gray with accents of yellow. not too girly for Davis, but not too manly for me.

and as you can see, i still need window treatments. i had some white tiered drapes i got online, but i didn't notice the material was tulle until after i opened the box. ugh. Davis thought they looked like wedding dresses on our windows.... i had to agree! so, i'm back to base 1 on those. 


there were several projects i did for this makeover. i'll post more details and a couple tutorials later. :)
we got this dresser at goodwill for $30. it was an ugly wood with large brass handles. after a fresh coat of black paint and some shiny new hardware, it's gorgeous! side note: Davis and i bought that mirror on our 1 year anniversary. :)

pleated fabric flower <3
 
i made this canvas wall hanging with my Silhouette......have i told you how much i love my Silhouette?!
i love these ruffle lamp shade! got them at target. on clearance. oh yeah!
   
Davis and i love the new look of our room! if you want to see what it looked like before, check it out here.

    Love, love, love it!

    Grey and yellow are my absolute favorites. And I'm pretty sure I NEED a silhouette.

    Yup, definitely and NEED!

    Love it! I am glad to know I am not the only one who 'goodwill' shops. I love spring/summer - I really hit up the yard sales for good finds that can be 'refurbished'. :)

    Hi! I was wondering where you got the cabinet that you have the alarm clock on? We are going to be moving soon and the master will be much smaller. I need to find a way to balance out loosing our second dresser and that looks like it would be perfect, but I've never seen one!

    thanks!

    It looks fantastic! Everything about it looks great. I'm in the process of redoing my bedroom as well. I have those yellow throw pillows as well. I love that canvas you did but honestly I love everything about the room re-do.

    Super cute remodel! I LOVE the black furniture (did you have to use any special paint?), but I'll admit I'm sad to see the red leave. Great job!

    I love the "new" dresser - I want to paint our sideboard, but I keep chickening out. Perhaps this spring...

    Hello Linda, I just hopped over from CreativeJewishMom's linky party. You have great taste in crafts and decor! I look forward to catching up on your old posts. I really like the t-shirt pom poms. Both my daughters collect t-shirts from every event they attend, so this would be fun for them to create from the old ones.
