The journey of a thrift store dresser makeover begins with selecting the right piece. –> See the FULL Primary Bedroom Makeover in this post It’s difficult to find anything made with solid wood these days and I didn’t want some particle board furniture in our bedroom. It’s solid wood and was in pretty good condition. I found this vanity of FB marketplace for $50. Then I created a vision board in Canva with screenshots of the furniture and accessories I planned to use. So I sat down and sketched a room layout with the furniture before I did anything else. I had a vanity desk in our bedroom before but I could never get the furniture to quite fit the way I wanted. I just fell in love with the rug in my Craft Room Makeover so I got the same rug larger for our bedroom. There wasn’t anything wrong with the previous rug, in fact, I put it in my daughter’s bedroom.

The new curtains are repurposed from our family room. My hubby also has a fear of dust collecting on curtains so we went without them for a while. We had curtains in our bedroom 5 years ago and then I wanted a cleaner, minimalist look. I updated the dressers using the same paint and hardware as this makeup vanity desk!Ĭurtain Rods | Bamboo Blinds | Platform Bed

Rattan is really hard to keep clean and our bedroom get dusty fast! We sold the dressers and used that money to buy matching dressers from a local thrift store. I was tired of the rattan dressers (which we found on FB marketplace for a steal). Now I know what I like and it’ll stay this color for a few years at least 😉 I found these matching dressers at a thrift store for $160 ($80 each). I don’t know WHY I painted our room dark green a few years ago! I guess I was trying a moody hue or boho theme and it just wasn’t me AT ALL! Well, live and learn. It’s a light gray and beige color and is perfect in our bedroom since it’s a dark room. I painted the walls Benjamin Moore Balboa Mist (I get Home Depot to color-match paint using the Glidden brand).
