This is what the old room looked like:
All white
Door from the hallway going into the room, taking up valuable space
Very little room to store clothes and stuff
And the new: The walls are painted with a color called White linen (a greyish light brown), and the closet doors are whitewashed wood, with the wood showing through in a color that matches the wall paint. (The wall is all one color, the light stripe is just reflection from the mirror.)
Sliding door closets to the left...
...and the right. I left a tiny little part of the old wall, where the fuse box is located. That way I didn't have to pay huge amounts to an electrician to move it - and I also got a little room for the necessary stuff that one really don't want to put on display:
A curtain that matches the paint was used to hide the content:
Details:
A cool sheep pillow that I bought from a local artist in Trondheim when visiting my mum last weekend...
...and a cute little orchid in a light blue pot:
The window is mirrored in one of the closet doors, making the most of the daylight:
And in the window hangs a little guardian angel that my mum bought from a local artist on a visit she made to Sweden - watching over my new heaven...;)
What's left is finding some white frames for hanging pictures above the bed, and a couple of lamps for the bed tables with shades that fits with the rest of the room. But that I think I'll have to leave for after Christmas. Next up...the hallway.
The new color is so warm!
ReplyDeleteOh it all looks fantastic - must be wonderful to have so much more storage space too. Love the guardian angel. x
ReplyDeleteThat's such an improvement! It not only gives much more space it all looks much more 'pulled together'. The idea of a mirrored window to get the most of the light is great and I love the little art objects.
ReplyDeleteQuite the transformation!! It looks so cozy and inviting! Love the little accents too, like the sheep throw pillows and the orchid! Amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do :)
ReplyDeletelove it!!!
ReplyDeleteand i LOVE the paint color you chose too.. very neutral but just enough to add a punch of color in!!!
