I made the headboard myself, purchased a single bed foam mattress for $50 from Clark rubber, glued the mattress to a piece of MDF (timber) and then covered and stapled the light grey fabric. I cut provisions in the MDF for tufted style buttons - but changed my mind.
You might remember the bedside tables from Ebay they were $25 for the pair, after a number of coats of white gloss spray paint they look great - lots of space for bits and pieces inside and enough room on top to display. Re-covered the lampshades also.
Love how much sunlight we get from the double overhead skylights
This dresser was another Ebay purchase for $125 (painted white by me).
Keep a look out for the embarrassing before and after photos tomorrow & the winner of the giveaway.
The giveaway is still open!

Gorgeous gorgeous space Sam. I love the blend of fabrics and the light. It has all come together beautifully - great job. Have just been catching up on your blog - have been away from blogging lately! Loved seeing you at work in the office and the mud..and the ebay table/chairs are great. Enjoy your week.

What a beautiful space, you have done such a great job. You're side tables look really good in the white.
ReplyDeleteIt freaks me out how similar we are Sam, really. I just purchased some grey and white striped fabric to cover my lamp shades!! I kid you not. Can't wait to show you now.
Well done xxx
Way to go girl! That dresser is stunning and the oom looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so great! Can't wait to see the before!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for the words of encouragement- I am so happy with the way it turned out! I think the space will evolve with any colour duvet- In winter I might change it up.
ReplyDeleteThird Avenue style – I did take some photos whilst re-covering the lampshades, It was a little difficult as these were tapered & Trying to run a horizontal stripe…So I will hopefully pop up a lampshade how to this week .
Sarah- We do have very similar styles, I saw you have a grey upholstered headboard also lol. It will look great with grey and white stripe covered lampshades .
