Happy Monday everyone! Thanks for being patient with me as I re-adjust to my back-to-work schedule. It’s been extra tricky with our house being out of commission, still. I hear the inspector is finally coming tomorrow to sign off on things… fingers crossed!
I have a fun announcement to make today – I’m participating in the Fall In Love Room Makeover Challenge along side a gang of brilliant bloggers (direct links below).
The details about this challenge are easy, 19 bloggers are flipping a room upside down over the next 6 weeks, turning a sad room into one that’s inspiring and seasonally fit for Fall! We will be posting progress along the way so I STRONGLY encourage you to add these ladies to your reader and follow them on social media (I think Instagram is a general fave for sneak peeks and progress shots).
Now for the hard hitting question, what room will I make over??
Actually, that’s a very easy answer, and I think I’m about to commit blogger suicide with the picture I’m about to share. It’s our bedroom. Calling it a disaster is an understatement, and I’m beyond embarrassed to share with you that this is our current state of our bedroom. Like, this is what it looked like yesterday. I could give you a hefty list of excuses: just had a baby, kitchen and living room in demo, just had a garage sale, yada yada.
{cue slasher movie music – ree! ree! ree!}
What is even going on in here?! Nothing inspiring, that’s for sure. Here’s the jist of my to-do list for this room:
- Paint walls
- needs adequate storage update
- attach headboard to wall
- get a rug
- add window treatments
There’s so much I need to do to turn this room into a place we want to retreat to at the end of the day. Right now I get so stressed out when I hang out in this room for too long. It desperately needs help. I’m truly ecstatic to be participating in this makeover challenge, it’s the fuel I need to whip this room into shape!
Don’t forget! Hop on over to these fancy ladies to see what rooms they will be making over.
I can’t wait to see the journey! I loved your last bedroom, I even purchased your duvet from Crane and Canopy (and I love it!).
aw! that makes me feel great! I hope I can come up with something that measures up :)
How can I in box you? I have a question from a post from a year ago.
oh this is going to be sooooo good!
I want to know what you will do to beautify the dog bed. I only ask because I “have a friend” who has a hideous one laying on her bedroom floor (cough, cough) :)
omg the dog bed! it’s such an eye sore. I really need to come up with a solution, kicking it out of the room for the reveal post doesn’t seem right haha, although that’s what I waaaaant to do
looking forward to following along!! Love the messy shot. keeps it real, ya know?! Sometimes, I think people like to see the real side of a blogger and know that life is just as messy on the other side of the room.
I wholeheartedly agree! although its still super embarrassing to share these messy shots, but they make for great before and afters lol!
I’m loving all of these before shots. My favorite part of yours is the stack of pillows. We do that, too. My husband doesn’t understand why we need them to begin with. ;)
Looking forward to following along.
hahaha right? i wish there was a solution for them! I mean, I need them only when I make my bed (like twice a year lol)
Hi! I just found you thru Wills Casa + I’m so excited! I’m doing a remodel too (kitchen, bedrooms) so your blog is right up my alley- love your vibe and agenda! I’m in! Hugs from SF!
Thank you Vale! High five from across the bay :)
I like bloggers keeping it real! And all your excuses are completely valid with me!
haha! that makes me feel better!
This is going to be so great. I can’t wait to follow along in your make-over!
thank you! I’m excited to see what everyone does!
Our bedroom looks a lot like yours 90% of the time! I think I may have the second half of your lamp actually. No lie. Mine just has a coral shade:) Im going to love seeing this room come together.
Thanks so much for keeping it real! I totally understand and your reasons are good ~ :) Your previous bedroom was gorgeous and I know this one will be. Just can’t wait to see the reveal!

Can’t wait to see what you do in here! My office looks very similar to this right now :)
