Wow, our family has been so busy this Summer with traveling, kid 1's baseball and kid 2's swim team...that my Diy to-do list has been s-l-o-w moving! But with Summer winding down and Fall just around the corner...I'm excited to finally get back to doing what I love...Diy projects!
I finally finished painting my daughter's bedside table! You may remember from a previous post, this bedroom furniture below was the Hubby and I's first bedroom set 15 years ago when we were first married. It's Fontana and used to be a light oak color. But with it's traditional lines I knew it would be perfect in my daughter's room painted white!
I almost painted this furniture a creamy heirloom white, but the main colors in the room are pink, purple and green...and I love how these colors contrast against the crisp white!
And to further update her room I purchased two fun accessories from Target...a funky retro lamp for under $20, and a fun vintage floral throw pillow I snagged on clearance for just $9.99...yup, total score!!
This bed still doesn't have a headboard yet (that's a fun project just waiting to happen!). So to give the bed more heighth and presence against the large purple wall, I added lots of pillows and framed simple scrap book papers above...click here for this super easy project!
Here's one last final look! This room went from kinda boring with a dark n' dated oak side table and a plain ole' lamp...to fresh n' bright with the simple addition of a revamped bedside table, a funky retro lamp, and a vintage floral throw pillow. Total spent (since the paint I already had)... just $30!
Great Post! Visiting from Between Naps on the Porch

I think the nightstand looks great white ~ good choice, Jane! : ) I need a headboard still, too. I keep saying I need to get to a thrift store by me that carries more furniture than Goodwill does. Hopefully, that will happen in the next few weeks. I'm also hoping it cools down a bit so that I can clean and paint whatever I do find!
ReplyDeleteIt look fabulous!! You are right it really pops against the purple and pink.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable room! I would have loved a room like that when I was little. Thanks for sharing on Skip to My Lou! :)

ReplyDeleteThis is so great! I have a nightstand that sits next to my bed that is just begging for a project like this. It's amazing what a little paint can do!
You did a remarkable job on her room. The colors just blend together so well. Nicely done and a room any young lady would enjoy having.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute room! Are those purple glass knobs on that bedside table? Awesome! I would love to find a Liberty of London throw pillow like that on clearance at my nearest Target. That one matches the teapot I bought this spring.
ReplyDeletewhat a cheery room! you did a great job on the chest. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love it... you did a great job! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Jane! That old nightstand looks perfect in your daughter's room. Good choice on the paint, too...definitely needed to be crisp white.
