Space Redesigns Happy Monday everyone!! How was your Daylight Savings weekend? Even though I lost an hour, I am feeling refreshed after a great weekend with family and friends. I wanted to kick off this week with a natural/modern bedroom.
- I’ve been looking for great DIY headboards for a client and came across this. Using two closet doors to create a affordable headboard is genius! And this became the inspiration for the room.
- Since I was going for a more natural look, I found this bedding by Amenity that fits room quite nicely, I think.
- This end table is a perfect look for this room as well, and it has such a modern feel to it too! And I love this lamp from Walmart, and it’s only $25!
- I love the color seafoam and wanted to incorporate it into this space. This rug fits the room perfectly, and gives the room a serene feel.
- In keeping with the seafoam color, I wanted a chair in the bedroom, and this tweed chair is perfect! I love the texture and simplicity of it.
- I really, really like these wallflowers and I think they fit perfectly in this space. The wallflowers were on a textured wall, and I liked that as well. Adding a little texture to the room is never a bad thing!
I hope you have enjoyed this modern and natural bedroom redesign. I just look at it and it makes me feel serene– and ready to relax!
So what are you up to this week? Have any big St. Patty Day plans?

Space Redesigns Katie has a difficult space to design. There’s a lot going on and her house was built in the 50’s when they loved using lots of wood wainscoting and sometimes wood paneling for the entire wall. Remember her before pictures? Here’s her redesign:
1-2. Let’s paint! Paint the Wainscoting Sherwin Williams color 6090 Java (1), and paint the ceiling Sherwin Williams color 2813 Downing Straw (2). Leave the ceiling beams exposed but paint between them. This will help accentuate the beams and help to tie in our other wood pieces throughout the space.
3. Linen Wallcovering. This will provide a nice textured finish above the wainscoting in the room. It will keep things nice and neutral while providing a more earthy feel to the room.
4. Keep things clean but understated with the Sheffield Sofa from Chiasso. This is a great priced sofa for the design! It’s very unassuming, and although large, doesn’t seem to take up space because of the small scale of the legs and arms.
5. Accent the sofa with some great earthy pillow covers from IKEA in green and blue.
6. Stumped Block Stool End Tables topped with a glass top for a larger table top space for accessories and a lamp.
7. Light things up with this great Walnut Cutout Lamp. This is a great clean lined lamp and adds some warmth to the room with the beautiful walnut base!
8. The Audrey Coffee Table from Overstock.com is also a clean lined piece that help us go with the more earthy feeling of the room. I LOVE the mixture of the dark and light woods. This piece is gorgeous and a steal for only $220.
9. Custom Paneled Fireplace (idea from Rex Brown). Build out the sides and top with wood paneling painted to match the wainscoting. With your leftover linen wallcovering, add it to the insets between the molding above the fireplace. By building out the paneling you will leave room behind to run the cable through the frame and add enough wood blocking to hang your TV above the fireplace making just one focal point for the entire space. (This also let’s your husband keep some of the brick that he liked, while keeping it understated and making the mantle and above the fireplace more of a focal point.)
10-12. Top off with a few natural accessories like a vase from Salmon Pottery(10), a bud vase from Lurearts (11), and some walnut picture frames from Black Elm (12).
Thanks Katie for letting me redesign your space! It was tons of fun and might be one of my new favorite redesigns! Want us to redesign YOUR space? Click here.
