Bedroom Renovation Part 3

Before anyone gets mad at me: I did remove the doors. I still HAVE the doors. They are in a storage area in my basement. I would never just get rid of the solid wood original doors of my 1950s house. I also took a set of these off in my office so I can actually access my art supplies. I still have those too.

Another issue in my room was the closets and not being able to get at all of clothes when I wanted to find something or put items away. They had to go. I had thought about getting some different doors but then I watched an Architectural Digest video on YouTube and decided to move into a different direction.

I still need to get a steamer but the wrinkles are disappearing.

I can open these curtains all of the way and access my entire closet. It’s beautiful. You might be wondering, why didn’t you go all the way to the center? One reason is ease of access to the light switch for the closets another reason that this was actually Try Number Two to get these to actually stay on the wall. The whole thing fell down, the curtains are nice and heavy and I had to repair the wall and get extra curtain rod holders with new dry wall anchors to get this to stay up. It’s solid now but it definitely took some effort.

You can see I’ve painted the walls white in this photo too, no more blue gray color.

And because I don’t want to wait on to what I did with the accent wall. The whole room is white except for the longest and most unbroken wall in the room.

It’s a Toile! But it has a woodsy jungle in it with lions, parrots, antelope, deer….it is so pretty and I love it so much.

Did I have an existential crisis hanging it? Absolutely.

Do I regret it? Absolutely not. It took the whole day and an additional trip to Home Depot but I got it hung and done. It is a pattern I never would have chosen before. It is completely out of my wheel house of design and style but it makes so much sense in my bedroom.

You can also see the white cover for my AC vent right at the bottom. They had been repainted a gross brown so I spray painted them white, which I also had done in my office before. I love the clean look next to the wood flooring.
