Our Before and After Bedroom

1.04.2012

One of the biggest projects Ryan and I have tackled together since getting married is decorating our bedroom. I thought I'd show you the before and after progress of the room as we've hung all but one picture on the wall and everything happily has a home in our room now. 

Before:

When my roommate Lauren and I moved into the apartment we had three rooms to choose from as our bedrooms. I decided on the "bonus room" which wasn't technically a bedroom because it doesn't have a closet, but thankfully our apartment has a plethora of closets so I was able to choose another and have a room with lots of windows. Two of the walls are entirely made of windows and I have beautiful french doors leading into my space, and a door close to the bathroom as well. An ideal situation if I do say so myself.

After Ryan and I got married we decided it was time for a major facelift as we were already going to have a "new" bed that was Ryan's bed growing up. We painted the walls a dusty blueish gray and got straight to work decorating. I'm quite pleased with the results.

After:

It was fun choosing, combining, mixing and matching our two styles into one cohesive feeling room. I love the screen printed show posters of Ryan's hung with a drawing I bought in Italy and the embroidery I made for our wedding. I'm especially found of the old college pennant trashcan that was in my Papaw's den all of my childhood. I think our bedroom is the perfect reflection of the two of us and we love it! What do you think of our bedroom transformation? big kiss, bekuh
