Town House Master Bedroom: Before and After

Dear St Louis House,

I spent a week with you last week and in that time I managed to paint both of your bedrooms, install curtain rods, hang and hem curtains, construct 6 pieces of Ikea furniture, hang 11 pictures and even managed to stain your deck. Whew I am a little tired this week.

So lets do a little sharing. Here is your master bedroom before, brown walls and a very sad disheveled bed.


And with the flick of my paint brush and a wave of my magic Ikea wand.




and in case you are interested here is a breakdown.

  • Wall color: Behr: rain drop (I selected the paint /primer option and the room still needed two coats)
  • Night Stands: Ikea Hemnes
  • Bedding: A duvet cover I already had, with the heat and humidity in St Louis it doesn't have a duvet in in yet!
  • Pillows: Covers from Ikea: Henny
  • Curtains: Ikea: Merete
  • Curtain Rods: Kmart
  • Art Work: A set of vintage British seaside posters
I have a bit more work to do on the side of the room I haven't photographed but I think you are coming along very nicely. I'll be back soon to finish you off!

Love from

Creative in Chicago

  1. Painting the trim. I have to do it. I've been told it will hurt my resale value, so I'm scared. I'm a transplant from the south to Nebraska and they act like you've committed a sin to paint trim so I've held off.. Your's looks so nice.
