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/AVvXsEiN1hc-_x99MZBMSYKELblf02hLn5AZua4y95Gx_Xn_y7P3XrdM8xiu9i6DpLtzl22aGen6hVUDSz-aa-yQahA1GP9MQ1D7ccZIHG7r4NA6YcM6fLebOCZfrXiR1x7vuRSq5WCA7kJunZoA/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/AVvXsEjB2Slw9XafBtoQzOnrTEsk4TmdJGq8RymYQP3rTGPP4CoQM4fdqA5_-DKwGzBRIpVrQ8_lumdQ8XWgeq5y5MElwE1NK8JiMH97coH_fL5gSPg3j2VG2W4uMEfda4aInVx6hlQW1Lu5KTYv/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/AVvXsEjZyTwPLmWmRSqSJehtCRir2AcPuMTYW7hz7aF1EXm7qc0H7sZL9PIYhQn9lXWM8qHCmzs4c5YhdskmeCD12n_c6ah6fRNX6kjr74EGsW_5q2yc2b-rEu0Y1Sw8I8DKqyEk9A-PSIIpI8BP/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/AVvXsEgsB832jkegK1As5bTTjVzDK2T6g4vGFv6HE_fs8P5iJPwdlH_rEoKObGCy4zuR5uOgZYBPuuCCigyojrv3N4NCvrP1pPm7Evx9tnjfljKrspY5Hu6YI5LKAnx9-xbMI4fuxqDfOFyfSiWB/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>
