I must say, I owe a lot to my bf, who hung my "canopy" and repositioned my lighting (took down ceiling fan and hung up chandelier right over my bed as well as replaced all my outlets and covers...........He-Man, Hero, Favorite).
Here are some before and afters. Enjoy.....
Before
After two coats of an oil -based white on the baseboards and trim, I painted my bedroom "Purpoise" by Sherwin Williams....
And here we have the After photos.....le sigh. Ain't it purdy?
I also have my chandelier on a dimmer (again, a thank you goes to the aforementioned HeMan, Hero, Favorite above).
The canopy effect was created by hanging pvc pipe on the ceiling. I found some cheap sheers at Ross, 2 for $5 (I actually have 7 sheers on mine). The sheers fit nicely over the piping (which is attached to the ceiling w/ brackets). Behind the headboard and hanging from the ceiling are white Christmas lights. This whole canopy project cost me under $40. Paint and lighting? Well, that's another story.
Oh!!! I almost forgot. I found that beautiful white quilt with lace top-stitching and two shams at an antique store here in town for $39. Score....
I love my bedroom. I feel like a princess sliding on a double rainbow all the way across the sky.
My next project will be the hallway. I'll find some way to make it look amazing. Maybe some stripes? Who knows!
