Budget Friendly Room Makeover

I recently gave our master bedroom a budget friendly makeover by with a few small changes.  Updating the decor in a room does not have to break the bank.  Follow along as I share some budget friendly tips to making over any room.

First I like to clear out the room by removing everything I want to change or replace.  For this budget friendly room makeover I removed the gray floral duvet cover and matching pillow cases, the gray and white stripe pillow covers and all the items on our night stands.  In this room I kept the white quilt on the bed, I mean….it is the perfect blank canvas to start with, right?.  You can read how I keep my whites white [here].  I will also keep the gray striped duvet cover from Target.  If you’re like me, you sleep with the ceiling fan on high and burrow under piles of blankets.  That’s until I get a hot flash and need nothing but a sheet……who is with me on this?!
Now that I have the room cleaned out and down to a blank slate, I shop my home before I head to the store.  I look around the house finding items I already have in other rooms that could be used in the room I want to update.  I look for things like, pictures, vases, flowers or greenery, pillows, lamps, rugs, and blankets.  Just because I gather them up, doesn’t mean I have to use them, it just gives me options.  Typically when you like a certain style or color trend you tend to use it in more than one space in your home.  So pulling pieces from another room is a great way to makeover a room on a budget!  So go shopping!
Once I have the pieces gathered that I think I may use, I start to put it together.  Remember how I made these night stands out of an old table?  you can read more about them [here].  I freshened up our night stands by switching out our old lamps with these lamps from our living room.  I removed the old mirrors and replaced them with vintage silhouettes (truth……..they are mine from when I was a kid, so I am an antique!)  I really want to keep them simple and uncluttered so I added some blush colored florals in this antique ironstone pitcher.
The green pillow is one I bought on sale after Christmas.  I wanted to add a few more touches of green and this pillow helps to pull it all together.  I simply turned it backwards, I didn’t really like the word “gather” on my bed…..I don’t know maybe it is just me but I thought it was kinda weird.
I made the pictures above the bed by painting a canvas with chalk paint and using a chalk marker to write out the words.  (Super easy and cheap)
Don’t get me wrong, I did go shopping for some things, but you can do this on a budget too.  The floral quilt is from Target and to save a few bucks, I bought a twin instead of a king!  I knew I would only be using it as a throw at the end of the bed so I didn’t need a king size.  I also purchased the blush colored pillows.  Normally I would make my own pillow covers like I did in this [post], but sometimes I have no patience to make them so I buy them!  If you don’t sew, you can buy pillow covers on lots of sites like Amazon and Etsy.

So there you have it, a budget friendly way to makeover any room!

    Mission accomplished on the room update for Spring!! Love the wood tones with the white accents. White lamp shades set it all off.
