*~* SIMPLE STYLE BEDROOM MAKE-OVER *~*

After looking at lots of bedroom pics and son number 1 giving me the spec he wanted.. A definate no no for anything too old looking.. We cleared the very small 9'X8' room totally and painted the walls with Farrow and Ball paint.. Dovetail is the colour which is a soft subtle grey.. His new black cast bed was built and the bedding adding.. Layered black and grey with a pop of red.. Next he needed a work area for computing and study.. I had an old door which was from the barn before the conversion years ago and suggested adding black metal legs a vintage style lamp and retro red stool.. Perfect was the reply from son number 1.. The poster we thought would add colour too and stop it becoming to monochrome.. His window is tiny too so a simple blind was all that was needed and I couldn't resist popping one of my handcrafted Old Look Pull-toy Elephants on the sill.. Lastly at the bottom of the bed he needed his entertainment system in place.. We added a couple of red retro clocks to continue the red pops here and there.. He is truly thrilled with how it turned out and his clothes and shoes are all stored under the bed in pull out boxes..

I do hope you have enjoyed our make-over journey with a very simple slighty industrial and very inventive use of space style LOL..

Thank you for stopping by my blog.. *~*blessings*~*

*~*ROOM MAKE-OVER PLANNING*~*

As the days get longer and Spring approaches I feel the need for a spot of decorating.. My oldest son now a tall young man has out grown his currant bedroom decor.. It is going to be a whole new overhaul.. Out with the old and in with the new.. He has quite firmly told me he does not want primitive style and old stuff in there but well I am sure the odd vintage item will sit nicely with the design board I have created.. When I showed him the board I got the raised eyebrow and no words and in my book that is a good sign..

The room is very small so lots of thought will have to go into it as he needs a work station for his computer and studies along with storage for clothing etc and not forgetting entertainment and gaming.. Phew alot to consider.. He has already chosen his bed a black metal one with simple design now ordered and he wants a grey colour on the walls.. Thats enough input from him I think.. Here is my design board tell me what you think..

Love the side lamp..

Wall colour and work station look good in this one..

The clocks a must..

Like the wood here but not sure about the curve..

Love this..

Only a week here in the U.K until half-term break when we will be doing the make-over so I will have to get cracking and get some shopping done for this project.. *~*bessings*~*
