Project 1: Creating a Luxurious Bedroom (on a budget)!

Recently I helped create my husband a "man cave" in the basement.  After finishing I realized how important it is (especially with 2 kids) to have your own space.  So I decided to create my very own "girl cave", for lack of a better word.

So here we go, my very first project...creating a luxurious bedroom in the thriftiest way possible:

Some "Before" pictures:
**these aren't truly before pictures, I've already completed the first step which was painting the 3 walls a beautiful "Tole Blue" (CIL colour).  Previously the walls were a horribly boring beige (bleh).







Tasks To Complete:

1. Paint accent wall at head of bed in "Bangor Blue" by CIL.
2. Replace dark brown dressers with pure white dresser. (possibly with black hardware).
3. Paint bedside tables a pure white (possibly with black hardware).
4. Make floor length curtains out of a faux silk fabric.
5. Repaint horrendously ugly closet doors.
6. Repaint corner wall shelf a pure white.
7. Possibly replace ceiling light fixture (depending on cost).
8. Purchase pure white headboard for bed. (or refinish an old headboard)
9. Mount artwork above bed.
10. Replace crappy shelf (beside dresser) with a pure white bookcase.
11. Recover lampshades (bedside tables) in a white satin fabric.

Woo hoo!!
