Carlie’s Cottage Bedroom Makeover

Mar 20, 2016 By Layla

“I’ve been flea-marketing for 25 years. I always stumble across things and think, I can do something with that.”
-Teresa DeJarlais

That one day my friend Laura Jean introduced me to her friend Carlie Elizabeth…

Cottage Master Bedroom Makeover

…who was so sweet to invite me over to help her dream up ideas decorating ideas for her bedroom…

…and then let me tag along and throw my two cents in at EIGHT of my favorite local stores…

Master Bedroom Makeover | Hobby Lobby Lamps

Target | Threshold Rug | Natural Metallic Jute

…and trusted me when I said it might be neat to have a desk on one side of her bed instead of two matching nightstands…

Antique Desk

(Eastbrook Flea Market)

…and got a little nervous when I got reeeeally excited about this $34 chest of drawers…

Don’t worry, Carlie. We can definitely do something with that. 😉

Lots of painting, and hanging, and accessorizing to do over the next few weeks. I can’t wait to share the room reveal with you here when it’s all done!

PS- I saw a lot of comments asking about Carlie’s shoes on Instagram the other day. Here’s a link to the brand and color: OTBT-Bushnell in Gold!

    If Carlie Elizabeth decides she doesn’t like the desk, I’ll drive up to Pike Road to pick it up!

    Are the floors painted pine boards? Painted plywood cut into strips? What?

    Yay! Finally a decorating post! Oh how I have missed them! I’m SO excited to see what you do with it. Carlie’s room looks pretty big, can you include the room dimensions?

    And are you going to do an Easter mantel? or an Easter tablescape? I’d love ideas for a simple yet elegant yet fun (yet commercialism-free?) Easter mantel and tablescape… 😉 just saying 😉

    So excited for Carlie!
