Hi all. Today I am issuing you a challenge. I posted
here not that long ago about the differences between my dream house, and my real house. And while I've made peace with most of my mess and clutter, frankly, my basement bedroom is getting kind of dreary. Not only is is fairly dark, but now that it's winter, our little concrete box of a room is cold! I find myself longing to move back into our old master bedroom with the tray ceiling, warm carpets and window that actually let in light. However, baby girl needs that room now, and we're hoping not to be in this house TOO much longer. So here's the challenge. This is what my bedroom looks like now:
Ugh. Not very welcoming, eh? What I want is a super low-budget makeover. I don't want to spend a ton when I'm just going to be moving out soon (I hope). And I want to keep things fairly neutral for the next owners. Other than mudding and taping and then painting the walls - I'm kinda stumped. How do I make this space pretty without spending money? This is where you come in. I would LOVE to hear your ideas. Did you see an awesome DIY on Pinterest that you think could work here? Link me to it! Did you run across a dirt cheap lamp or rug or anything online that you think might look cute? Give me details! Do you have a killer knack for decorating and/or organizing and have some tips for dressing up a space? Please jot them down!
I have seriously come to dread bedtime because I don't want to go back to my box. I used to look forward to relaxing in my cozy room. Not so much now. So any help or advice you might have is mighty welcome. I am grateful to all of you!
And when this is over and I've given my room some TLC I'll be posting a before and after. If I've used your tip, I'll be giving you credit! I may even have a little reward for the most helpful commenter. Thanks a bunch everyone!
