It’s reveal day!!! Yippee! When I rolled out this “little bedroom refresh” at the beginning of March, I thought I would take a couple weeks, paint, switch up a few things, and be done with it. But, you see, I have this little itty bitty problem. Once I start a project, I start getting all of these ideas for more and more things I could do with the space. And once the idea enters my head, I have a hard time letting go of it, so I proceed to “do allllllllll the projects” until it’s two months later and I’m finally finished. (At least for now… 😉 ) This room has been a fun one to transform, and I can’t wait to show you all of the details, so enough with the chatter! Come on in (and get ready for photo overload)!
You’ve seen the bed a few times already! We freshened it up with beautiful bedding from Crane & Canopy and some new accent pillows. (All from Target. I removed the polyfill inserts and replaced them with down ones so they would be “cushier.” 🙂 )
The accent wall is also a new addition, and I love that it’s so much lighter and brighter than the previous dark brown wall!
The lamps and nightstands stayed and were just topped with pretty flowers– you can never have enough flowers, I say!
From this corner of the room, you can look across and see Donnie’s dresser (which got a makeover here) and the updated curtains– I just went with classic white and am loving them!
My style always gravitates to the girly side of things (which Donnie so graciously puts up with!), but I did try to make his dresser area a little more masculine. I mean, you add some antlers and it’s like instant manliness, right?!
Donnie’s dresser isn’t the only one that has gotten a makeover around here, though. A few months ago I got sick of my black, smudgy dresser, so it too got a little facelift— in white and gold!
No manliness in this little corner of the room! Pink flowers were a must! 🙂
And if you look just beyond the flowers, you can catch my most recent painting project, the gray vanity…
You may notice a little difference– I decided to paint the mirror frame at the last minute, and I’m so glad I did! It’s so much brighter and cheerier!
That pretty much completes the tour! Are you up for some “before and afters”?
Oh I just think that comparison shots are so fun! You can truly see the full effect of the transformation! Thank you so much for checking out the big reveal! If you missed any of the projects and would like more details, you can find them below…

I like the light and airy feel of it. It was previously quite dark. I also noticed you painted your vanity in the bathroom right away. I like the white much better! That masculine dresser is quite handsome! The white board and batten wall looks great in contrast to the rest of the walls. Well done!

April 23, 2015 at 2:18 pmNice, Abby! I like how you went from the dark blue to the grey to your white – it pleases the eye as you move around the room. And I’m glad you showed the B&A photos – yes, those are always more fun to see changes that way.

Nancy says
April 23, 2015 at 4:33 pmYou did such a great job! I love the light accent wall. It is amazing how painting the wall white and your dresser white really, really changed the whole room. Way to go!

Kim says
April 23, 2015 at 4:33 pmWow! What a difference and so lovely! Your white and gold dresser is awesome! Great job!
Tiffany says
April 23, 2015 at 4:39 pmHi, Abby ~ This room looks amazing! I keep trying to pick a favorite new feature, but I can’t do it. I am very intrigued by your board and batten wall, though. Hubs went paint-crazy in our master bedroom and now all of the walls are dark blue. I’m thinking a crisp white, board and batten wall might be the ticket to balance out the blue? Did you do a lot of prep work on your bathroom vanity before painting it? That project is on my bucket list, too, but I REALLY dislike sanding. :0) Thanks for sharing your gorgeous room!
Bethany @ The Southern Couture says
April 23, 2015 at 4:39 pmYou did an amazing job! Everything looks so fresh and bright. The touch of blue, gold, and white couldn’t be more perfect. I couldn’t wait to see the big reveal and now I’m so glad I did. Have a great rest of the week and wonderful weekend.

Erica says
April 23, 2015 at 8:24 pmAbsolutely STUNNING, Abby! I especially love both of the dressers and how they both capture your differences but stay so harmonious at the same time. The whole space is just gorgeous! I bet you’ll have sweet dreams tonight! 😉
Martha says

April 25, 2015 at 5:18 amBeautifully airy…great job. I’m putting my hard-to-store tiered try on my dresser this afternoon. I always have bracelets and earrings collecting there!
Jamie says
April 25, 2015 at 9:03 amI love how everything turned out ! The wall looks great & it is a completely different space. I love when sinple(a wall) changes everything so much & it came together beautiful. And I totally understand wanting to do more & more once you start a room. Can’t wait to see more… What’s next?! 🙂
Stephanie says
April 25, 2015 at 1:13 pmLove your color palette. Great job!
Bonnie Dorough says
April 25, 2015 at 2:34 pmThat mirror and dresser are stunning!!! Love it!
Lauren says
April 26, 2015 at 4:02 pmIt turned out BEAUTIFULLY! I agree… you can never have enough flowers. 🙂 That focal wall behind your bed is my favorite, I think. By the way, I just started into reading your Building a Framework ebook and I’m loving it!!!!
Addi says
April 26, 2015 at 4:39 pmYour bedroom is beautiful! My husband and I recently re-did our master bedroom and I absolutely LOVE it. I have three little boys, so I made sure that our bedroom was a little bit on the ‘girly’ side since everything else in our house seems to be masculine. It is like my little getaway 🙂
Kaitie @ Fuchsia Freezer says
April 27, 2015 at 9:45 amYour bedroom looks so cheery and light… very welcoming and relaxing… perfect timing to with spring and summer coming up! Enjoy!
Betsy @ Happily Ever After, Etc. says
April 29, 2015 at 11:12 pmWow so pretty! I’ve really enjoyed all of the little makeovers leading up to the big reveal… but this is the best part! The room was pretty before but now.. wow! So light and pretty! Love the white wall, the pretty bedding and the gorgeous dresser make-overs! Love it!
kelsey says
May 1, 2015 at 7:20 pmAbsolutely stunning! I love how all the changes transformed it into a lighter space.
Sara says
July 7, 2015 at 3:15 pmBeautiful! You made the floral pillow cover yourself? What size down insert do you recommend when compared to the actual size of your fabric square with that? Say it’s a 14×14 insert form, for a 12×12 fabric square? I was worried that a 12×12 insert form with a 12×12 fabric piece would make the pillow look like it’s sagging in places and too small! Thanks for any help and advice!
Heather Alexander says
April 10, 2016 at 3:06 pmI love how you brightened everything up in here! And I LOVE the color of Donnie’s dresser! That blue.. ugh! So awesome!
