Shelf Makeover

 

 

Hello friends! Its been a while since I talked about our master bedroom makeover, so I want to update you on the latest addition to the makeover.

 

As most of you know, this spring our master bedroom got a makeover, starting with paint. You can read about that HERE.

 

Since then, I have added this bedding, and now I finished some wall art that I want to share with you.

 

Before I do, let me remind everyone, including myself that redecorating a room does not have to cost a lot.

 

I hear so many people actually put off renovating a room because they THINK they will need to spend a lot of money on new accessories and wall art.

 

And the truth is...you do NOT have to spend a lot of money to change the look of a space.

 

You just need some creativity and a few materials to change what you already have!

 

So, I took my own advice and instead of buying new decor I decided to shop around the house and use things I already had, and wouldn't you know it, deep in the basement, buried in a box all the way in the back, was this old shelf.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used to accessorize a lot with the color Red but I have now shifted to using more black and white accents, so I decided this shelf was THE perfect piece to add to our bedroom and all it needed was a little refreshing with paint!  

 

 

 

Below is a picture of the BEFORE shot

Yep, that's a red shelf alright!

 

...but its nothing a can of white spray paint can't change!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then after a few coats of flat white paint she now looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

And for accessories, I used a blue mason jar that I had,

(don't you just LOVE those special edition blue mason jars)

and a canvas print I made using a portrait of Mr.Chaos and I,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

and grouped it with the
bead board and boxwood wreath wall art I showed you earlier.

   

 

 

 

 

So now my basement is free of a shelf that was taking up space  and collecting dust, and my master bedroom now showcases it the way it was meant to be shown!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the way it turned out and all it took was a can of spray paint!

 

 

 

So the next time you are hesitant about revamping an outdated space, keep in mind that a can of paint goes a long way and allows you to continue enjoying the decor you once loved by giving it a second chance at life!
