Bedroom 2: Cottage House Flip Reveal

It is Day 2 and Room 2 of the Bedroom Reveal Week! Yesterday you witnessed the transformation of Bedroom #1, and today we are shifting gears with something quite a bit smaller, but with a unique personality of its' own. Click to watch the Before & After transformation below:

Just a few steps down the hall from the master suite was a crowded room with a quaint little nook:

With pale blue polkda dot wallpaper and a blue comforter to match.

To add a little architectural interest and double as a headboard, I did a quick DIY shiplap installation with a picture ledge:

Then came paint and flooring:

But I loved this nook so much that I left it completely original 🙂

A little staging and poof! We have our new and improved Bedroom 2…

It helps to keep that the nook is the first thing you see when you walk inside.

And the shiplap is not bad either.

The navy buffalo check bedding was the first thing I bought for this room, and designed around that incorporating woodsy elements like a tree stump side table and deer pillow. It helps to keep the cabin feel it brings.

The shelf ledge was well suited for a few light pieces of art, which I made from DIY art and a map of the town found in one of the closets, placed in inexpensive Ikea frames.

I actually had the bedding set up a bit differently, but the Country Living stylist brought in a striped pillow and switched a couple things around, so I left it that way for my shoot. Who am I to mess with the pros?

And here is a pro tip: if you do not have a duvet cover—use a sheet, blanket or bedspread to wrap around your comforter to fake the look. The stylist taught me this, and that is what we did here using an Ikea bedspread 🙂

Hello, deer.

This quilted bedskirt is so lovely, I actually bought one for Bedroom #3 as well.
