2014 Clever Bedroom Makeover from BHG : Before and After

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">This bedroom was a real snoozer bland, charmless, and dated. But a budget-smart decorating makeover with paint, fabric, and easy-decorating tricks transforms it into a stylish retreat. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBubfFF7bh9W50wuuv7Arwiv5FQYtMrVoQ_VbwnIHPGWauHqXhG0siJn4kRQ9KhHnYjOzpbcexuDN5DhVLSOQz7h4rOhNQjJtoMr-0UoJ5nDPHJoKmlwolG916m2LW_3VfmZfNSldxYYm_/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">BEFORE: Bland Bedroom </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lacking personality and style, this bedroom was also uninviting and cold.

Leave off the backs so wall paint shows through -- it makes a small room feel bigger. Score a little extra storage: Use closed kitchen cabinets as nightstands. On the bed, one body pillow packs the same impact as throngs of throw pillows, and wall-mount swing arm lamps turn on function without taking up space.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOC5lnccItvH6vtbilojNKtfMDfGLcBbhOT71qX7G6Rwt85jP9L0LcEWNsQYTN93mT5LbwMJDS7-M0ySHOMmGvr1H0aIJ_6JutqUAuWMzxiNji-IF9L5jzAht_DrEm5owa7xlKPpuXXTBp/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Pleasant Surprise </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Line drawers with scrapbook paper for a sunny surprise every time you reach in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXEsLUOIkUGk00GlCDcmuMpOVW9ij800wPVe3CCtTnYADx48TCv2wJLoFBuUNDixV-DfsTJIHM46TmEpJWJqcBjNNEkMmhs-yNpRHHVti3d-ypLnrtOGrcWy0icFRq09VrEtuuzFryyig/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Store in Style </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">A vintage cabinet goes glam when old glass panels are replaced with mirrors.

Mirrors and brass add glimmer to a room that gets little natural light. Creamy white paint on doors and moldings also keeps things bright. Layering curtains over shades gives a luxe look. (We turned the fabric 90 degrees to get a room-stretching horizontal stripe.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZUGu2ob70ey_-Nv_Jdd5gG0fZLWEXTXzkuf3KUfPVySJ4ONdSZ2b1o75XxOksBcvFgOj60UKJjzUK0V2iM5f0VyPND8VPDwImk56p-a-I0BQM8eMVGJ328f2YroAxvHM3NnKM0FS3MKPd/s1600/2014-Clever-Bedroom-Makeover-Before-After-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">Crowning Glory </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Curtain rods and rings make a modern connection to hand-forged iron hardware on doors throughout the 1930s home.

Pullout benches for the dressing table are better than a single chair -- each works as a seat or a table. An eclectic gallery of art arranged around the mirror furthers the vanity area's own unique style blend.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
