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/AVvXsEiRBEsYQOR2pA6ltatejmWj7DMqj13A_8FXfUfJ1C8bUlcJojUS39y6nOxPB5yo0osKZylrxIfWHpO2iGkdDPfaBup8xnN7jghHYwoX7ife1Hvz4b08IwD-8Ai2NG0WaKLT8NQlQUcTcfL9/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/AVvXsEh71zw9vilVv5bOusJ_BR6qoe9erVwDg1jfytUU02PU2Xk3p8Qmb-R2q7EzMCHz3mYyEGFT6RAJgPzyGaOaCRK5kE5O8sCdDYAYKB_yVqKFOZ1Z3t8kpe7Ys2bRVwZ_Vlmrr620kHK7iZ5u/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/AVvXsEje1HBn3vDFJe7Sv09xFxhRugHeWTh_13h9FLbR-PHviV5Jcz-SYveHl_o0Q_6vnkfzLBYf2-4cDFUymT_NSYUsihACBgN1GFKXHrF_ikGwYU_9VXVEamxjRYdpo8SYB9IT8pVmjqaN3D-O/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/AVvXsEh9C266lGc3HxcRER5OlT7iXJLUTwnhnjOyKno7nHFHa08rhr9yHaonDFdIBhRxQEad3sq76YVutonN1lYKK2YjdqjW8PzXOI26DmBhXWqX6eaQ88XBnL0FlnnyWH-PwK65Z80Oz8L07zka/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.
