Cozy Bedroom Remodel

cozy bedroom remodel

sweet dreams are made of this

When I was growing up, I spent countless nights watching HGTV with my mom. Obsessing over details, re-designs, paint colors, etc--and then we'd often spend weekends re-working the living room, moving furniture around or working on a new project around the house. 

So it's no surprise that as an adult, re-designing my living spaces has been a hobby of mine as well. So stoked to share photos of my bedroom, a year or two in the making. My goal was to make a space that felt like home, bright and inviting during the day and cozy & intimate at night. 

My personal style tends to be mostly found or antique objects, mixed with pieces that mean something to me; and of course, making sure there's space for candles. warm light and plants as well. Plus the coziest bedding by Parachute Home.

Check out the before and after, & a tour of my favorite moments below! Sources linked at the end. 

Before & After

A daily reminder on the importance of doing the work from The Parative Project.

I found this shelf inside a vintage toolbox I'm using as storage, and decided to utilize it as additional display space on the opposite wall. 

One of my favorite quotes, delivered by Julie Andrews in One Special Night (1999). Board by Letterfolk.

One of my favorite orchestral pieces of all time. Listen to this version on Apple Music here.

My proudest DIY moment in the room belongs to the light fixture-- a basket I found at a thrift store and proclaimed, "that belongs on the ceiling!" Add an Edison-style bulb and you're golden.

Thanks for checking out my space! I'll be sharing photos of my re-designed living room soon, so keep an eye out for those!
