BEDROOM REVEAL 🎉😍
Oh boy. 6 months in the making. I have all the emotions right now 🥹
I know it’s been a long time, and this style also isn’t for everyone and that’s OK - the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing.
The “vintage-inspired” style isn’t something I normally gravitate to and because of that, the design of this space was a challenge for me.
I changed my mind a lot, I made adjustments and tweaks based on gut instincts. I felt like my plan was being unraveled constantly but it was so worth it in the end.
This is your sign to try new things and take chances on styles outside your comfort zone because vintage-inspired just be my new favorite thing 😍
Let’s talk details:
- Desk/Vanity: Facebook marketplace
- Rug: @loloirugs x @jeanstofferdesign Bradbury BRU-01 Midnight/Multi
- Bed: Amazon
- Bedding including scalloped quilt: Amazon
- Closet doors: Facebook marketplace
- Window seat cushion: @patiolanecushions
- Wallpaper: @sandbergwallpaper Stella Sandstone
- All trim details including ceiling medallion: @ekenamillwork
- Fandolier: Amazon
- Arch Mirror: Amazon
- Wall switch covers: Amazon
ALL Amazon links are saved to my storefront under “bedroom decor finds” - link in bio
FAQs:
- Wall color: Plum Taupe by @behrpaint (eggshell, scuff defense line)
- Window seat color: Aged beige by @behrpaint
- The wall the bed is on is 10 ft, believe it or not there is plenty room on both sides to open the closet doors and the drawers on the built ins
- Room size is 10x11 (not including the window seats)
The video at the end was when I had set up the room, the whole space wasn’t necessarily a surprise as she was very involved in the project but I wanted to surprise her by getting the desk and bed all set up - I kind of missed her little screech though - they were too quick coming in the house 😂 how sweet is she just taking it all in though 😍😍
Thank you to everyone who followed along this project, thank you for your continued support, for cheering me on, for being just as invested as I was, and for just being here. I appreciate you more than you know ❤️
PS- This is technically the 95% reveal because I’m waiting on my blinds 😂

Revealing the ceiling treatment in my daughters vintage inspired bedroom makeover 😍
Please note that all my projects are saved to highlights on my page - that’s where you will find the slowed down, step by step videos of each project.
Trim details 👇
- The decorative border was made with @ekenamillwork Pompeii panel moulding corners + Pompeii moulding strips
- The ceiling medallion is the Attica Urethane Medallion
- The crown is 1 in. x 1-1/8 in. x 94-1/2 in. Polyurethane Edinburgh Crown Moulding
All trim used is from @ekenamillwork 😍 a big thank you to them for providing it!
At the last minute I decided to paint it - I went with my gut and I feel like it was the right move, it ties everything together so perfectly!
This space is almost DONE and it’s time to get it out back together. Follow along in stories to see the final touches and be sure to check back for the REVEAL! 🎉

I’ve addressed this type of thing in stories but I think it’s about time it has a permanent place on my feed.
Here’s why things like this frustrate me. It’s not because it hurts my little lone feeling, it’s because people that make others feel like there’s only one correct way to do something are the reason other people are afraid to get started. Here’s the thing:
☝️ NOT EVERYONE HAS A PAINT SPRAYER
Those are very expensive! I only recently got a paint sprayer and I’m sorry I’m not going to take my door off the hinges, remove all the hardware, bring it outside, set up the sprayer, and clean the sprayer just to spray ONE SIDE of my door. Nope. I’m not doing it. It honestly takes me longer to clean that sprayer than it did to paint this door by hand.
Are you honestly telling me you can’t learn or be inspired by someone who doesn’t own a paint sprayer? Yikes.
✌️There’s always more than one way to do something. I have been painting for 20 years and I enjoy hand painting. I have my system: a zibra brush and a high density foam roller to smooth brush strokes is my go-to. I like it and it works for me and I’m not going to change that just because someone else wouldn’t do it that way. You 👏 do 👏 what 👏 you’re 👏 comfortable 👏 with
3️⃣ No one talks about how much paint a sprayer takes. I almost cried when I sprayed all that trim. It took easily 2x as much paint (maybe more) than if I painted the trim by hand. I am still glad I sprayed the trim because all the detail would’ve made it hard to hand paint but I was still so sad to see how much paint it took. I had to buy another gallon and gallons of paint are not cheap.
Agree with me or not - that’s not the point of the post. The point of this post is that not everyone has to do things the same way that you would to get a great result.
And if you’re someone that feels like you’re afraid to start because you won’t get it “right” please do it anyway! I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time, but I learn by doing and I think of all the things I wouldn’t have been able to create if I was too afraid to just try anyway. Fail your way forward. That’s my motto 🙌
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk ❤️

Have you tried Elmers wood filler? Here’s why it’s my new favorite!!
{A D} wood filling is a super important step in any project - from wood working to fixing or flipping furniture and the quality of wood filler matters! Elmers is shrink and crack resistant, dries super hard making it very durable, and it dries fast!
You can find @elmersproducts at your local Ace Hardware store today! 🙌🙌

Are you ready for an epic DIY hack? This might be my new favorite one ever! First, let’s talk about my new pocket hole jig from @kregjig! It comes with everything you need to easily make pocket holes for your next woodworking project – it has a dust collection adapter, a bench clamp to keep the jig in place, and even storage containers that also work to stabilize your material. After assembling my shelf, I made a DIY gallery rail for under $10 using wooden pegs, a metal rod, and some spray paint – it turned out SO COOL! If you want to make your next woodworking project a million times easier, I highly recommend picking up a pocket hole jig from kreg tools - the #1 trusted pocket hole brand. #woodworkingproject #diy #woodworkingtools #pocketholes #homeimprovement #renovation #kregtoolpartner

We turned a porch into a kitchen! 🙌🔥
A few weeks ago I shared that my dad @adkcabs was working on a kitchen for a client of his and he had help him install the cabinets. This was my first time installing a full kitchen of cabinets and it was a great opportunity to learn!
The kitchen is finally done for the most part (other than a few touch ups) so I wanted to share how it came out! 😍
If l you’re local to upstate NY (capital district & north country) and are interested in a kitchen design/installation, reach out to @adkcabs for more info!

I know it’s been a long time, and this style also isn’t for everyone and that’s OK - the world would be boring if we all liked the same thing.
The “vintage-inspired” style isn’t something I normally gravitate to and because of that, the design of this space was a challenge for me.
I changed my mind a lot, I made adjustments and tweaks based on gut instincts. I felt like my plan was being unraveled constantly but it was so worth it in the end.
This is your sign to try new things and take chances on styles outside your comfort zone because vintage-inspired just be my new favorite thing 😍

The video at the end was when I had set up the room, the whole space wasn’t necessarily a surprise as she was very involved in the project but I wanted to surprise her by getting the desk and bed all set up - I kind of missed her little screech though - they were too quick coming in the house 😂 how sweet is she just taking it all in though 😍😍

Revealing the ceiling treatment in my daughters vintage inspired bedroom makeover 😍
Please note that all my projects are saved to highlights on my page - that’s where you will find the slowed down, step by step videos of each project.
Trim details 👇
- The decorative border was made with @ekenamillwork Pompeii panel moulding corners + Pompeii moulding strips
- The ceiling medallion is the Attica Urethane Medallion
- The crown is 1 in. x 1-1/8 in. x 94-1/2 in. Polyurethane Edinburgh Crown Moulding
All trim used is from @ekenamillwork 😍 a big thank you to them for providing it!
At the last minute I decided to paint it - I went with my gut and I feel like it was the right move, it ties everything together so perfectly!
This space is almost DONE and it’s time to get it out back together. Follow along in stories to see the final touches and be sure to check back for the REVEAL! 🎉

I’ve addressed this type of thing in stories but I think it’s about time it has a permanent place on my feed.
Here’s why things like this frustrate me. It’s not because it hurts my little lone feeling, it’s because people that make others feel like there’s only one correct way to do something are the reason other people are afraid to get started. Here’s the thing:
☝️ NOT EVERYONE HAS A PAINT SPRAYER
Those are very expensive! I only recently got a paint sprayer and I’m sorry I’m not going to take my door off the hinges, remove all the hardware, bring it outside, set up the sprayer, and clean the sprayer just to spray ONE SIDE of my door. Nope. I’m not doing it. It honestly takes me longer to clean that sprayer than it did to paint this door by hand.
Are you honestly telling me you can’t learn or be inspired by someone who doesn’t own a paint sprayer? Yikes.
✌️There’s always more than one way to do something. I have been painting for 20 years and I enjoy hand painting. I have my system: a zibra brush and a high density foam roller to smooth brush strokes is my go-to. I like it and it works for me and I’m not going to change that just because someone else wouldn’t do it that way. You 👏 do 👏 what 👏 you’re 👏 comfortable 👏 with
3️⃣ No one talks about how much paint a sprayer takes. I almost cried when I sprayed all that trim. It took easily 2x as much paint (maybe more) than if I painted the trim by hand. I am still glad I sprayed the trim because all the detail would’ve made it hard to hand paint but I was still so sad to see how much paint it took. I had to buy another gallon and gallons of paint are not cheap.
Agree with me or not - that’s not the point of the post. The point of this post is that not everyone has to do things the same way that you would to get a great result.
And if you’re someone that feels like you’re afraid to start because you won’t get it “right” please do it anyway! I have no idea what I’m doing most of the time, but I learn by doing and I think of all the things I wouldn’t have been able to create if I was too afraid to just try anyway. Fail your way forward. That’s my motto 🙌
Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk ❤️
