Bedroom Makeover

February 13, 2013 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 12 Comments

Sponsored by Target

One of my projects this year is to give the Master Bedroom a makeover. We purchased the bedroom furniture when we were first married and the pine country cottage style was popular. The taupe quilt cover, lamps and accessories have all been in use for a long time. We want to re-fresh the bedroom and make it look more modern.
Replacing the bedroom furniture isn’t in the budget just at the moment. Mr Sugar has given me free reign to decorate the bedroom as long as I steer clear of florals, pinks, and busy prints. My vision for the room is to add a lot of white – I love how fresh and cool white looks. You can add pops of colour in the accessories.

We headed to Target and found the perfect bedlinen and accessories to suit our style. We purchased a Waffle Quilt Cover Set which has a lovely texture, and added European Pillowcases from the Inga range.

Our bedside lamps were replaced with a pair of Andria Lamp Bases. Our wedding photo was relocated to a Laura frame. The bedside tables were lined with starched white cotton napkin and were the perfect place to display my kokeshi dolls (bought on a recent trip to Japan).

With Valentine’s Day this week, I have decorated our bedroom with pops of red.  The breakfast tray is all ready. I added a red and white quilt to the end of the bed.

Our Bedroom looks fresh and inviting. I love the white palette and look forward to making pillows and accessories in the coming months.
If your bedroom is in need of a make over be sure to check out the extensive range at Target. They have well priced linen and accessories that are right on trend.

    I’m pretty sure I have my wedding pic in a frame like your *before* frame too. Your new bedroom looks great. You could always paint your furniture, but personally, I like the wood.

    Amazing how subtle changes can make all the difference. I hear you about new furniture not being in the budget and so I’m planning to paint & distress my master bedroom furniture.. I think that would make the world of difference.

    My room is similar, the country style wooden furniture & needing a bit of a modern touch. I have been looking for a nice white doona set that is not over the top pricy for awhile so I can freshen things up with some bright quilts & accessories. That one at Target looks great so will have to go check it out.
