My latest house project was a complete sprucing-up of the bedroom. It was functional (could use a bigger closet, but that's what every girl says), but UGLY. Like I said, the wall finishes were fake wood paneling, and it desperately needed another window. After my Tommy Lee installed a new window, I gutted everything out of the space and started in to bring the room to what I saw in my head. Here's a "before" video:
I had several designs, but, in the end, I decided I just wanted something clean, bright, and undeniably mid-century atomic. So I bought a gallon of Behr paint in Pearl White semi-gloss and a quart of Glidden semi-gloss in a shade called Island Shores:
After moving everything out, I started with the closet. Before shot:

The final piece of my makeover was the antique brass desk that I inherited from my Grandma. She bought it intending to refinish it, but never got around to it before she passed. My Tommy Lee sanded and repainted the desk and its bench, and then we re-upholstered the seat. After hanging a mirror on the wall, I painted the frame, hung some globe lights around it, and, voila! Makeup table!!!
