Bedroom makeover

JoeAzza
Kind of a Big Deal

Bedroom makeover

I have just completed painting and finishing off a bedroom. I repainted the walls in Lexicon 1/4 strength low sheen, the floors were painted in satin black, skirting boards, architrave and windows and door in satin white.

 

I have also added a new bed, purchased a flat pack wardrobe, made coat hooks, shutters, up cycled a bedside drawers and made a floating picture frame.

Re: Bedroom makeover

Hi @JoeAzza 

 

Thank you so much for sharing your bedroom makeover project. I love all the elements you've included in this makeover. The freshly painted walls make the room so much brighter, and the black floor provides excellent contrast. Your custom builds of course add so much personality to the room, the piano coat hooks, the upcycled drawer cabinet and of course my favourite the custom window shutters.

 

Again, thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.

 

Eric

Re: Bedroom makeover

Hi @JoeAzza,

 

I couldn't agree more with @EricL, you have really done a fantastic job designing and putting together your spare room. This would make for a fantastic entry in our ongoing search for Australia's best D.I.Y. project this D.I.Y. July so I've gone ahead and submitted your project for you. I can't wait to see what you create next.
