A while ago my mom and I decided to give my brother’s old room a major makeover. It had awesome 90’s wallpaper and lacked style and comfortable, functional furniture.
Removing the wallpaper was the first step in the process. We then painted the walls in the bedroom and bathroom a warm grey. New furniture and curtains along with cozy, coordinated bedding made this a much more appealing space.
We replaced the wall-mounted mirror and brass lighting in the bathroom with a framed mirror and brushed nickel fixture. Those were both very inexpensive updates with major impact.
My mom and I are very happy with the outcome. We created a space that now serves as an inviting guest room and a place where Jeff can still feel at home during the holidays.

This is a great transformation, Angela! Very crisp and clean. I really like how the change to the look is significant without being super invasive or expensive.

I remember that wallpaper! For awhile we had wallpaper boarders in every room in our house. I loved them and thought them very lovely at the time but they are all gone now.
this is a beautiful bedroom transformation.
