What seems like forever ago, I finally said enough<\/em>. Enough of the pink track lighting from the nineties, enough of the old stained carpeting, enough of the off beige-y green color of the walls, enough of the full-sized box spring and mattress on the floor serving as our bed. Enough!<\/p>\n

Convincing Andrew was not easy. He is a guy who cares nothing of luxury, and would be content with the cleared-out room below and a sleeping bag:<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0136\"<\/a>But somehow, some way, I convinced him that maybe it was time we had a relaxing space just for the two of us; in particular, a queen-sized bed that we would both fit comfortably in. There up on the third floor, with two nice walk-in closets and a full bathroom. There with the skylights and beautiful natural lighting all day that the jungle of plants I have accumulated appreciate. I had in my mind the clean, simple space. It just took a while to get there.<\/p>\n

The first step was clearing it all out for painting. Since we would be ripping up the carpeting and replacing it, it made sense to paint first.<\/p>\n

And of course, as soon as the furniture was moved out, the boys saw the potential!\"DSC_0144\"<\/a>\"DSC_0151\"<\/a>\"DSC_0187\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After I painted while the boys were in school (it took 3 coats!), I ripped up the outer edges to paint the trim. Next, Andrew replaced the light fixture with a simple white flush mount. Finally, we had new carpet installed (we thought about refinished the wood floors underneath, but quickly realized that it would be much too noisy to walk around up there if we didn’t have the sound barrier of carpet — plus, it’s so cozy!). After that, we finally bit the bullet on a new bed!<\/p>\n

Are you ready to see it?<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0028\"<\/a>\"DSC_0009\"<\/a>\"DSC_0017\"<\/a>\"DSC_0015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used Benjamin Moore’s Simply White<\/a>\u00a0on the walls and ceiling. The dresser is an antique hand-me-down from my mom, and the bed is from Crate & Barrel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love how it turned out!\u00a0\"DSC_0018\"<\/a>\"DSC_0019\"<\/a>\"DSC_0023\"<\/a>\"DSC_0020\"<\/a>\"DSC_0021\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I scored the vintage art deco lamps from Little Shop Around the Corner<\/a>, a shop near the Missouri Botanical Garden which takes donations and resells them to support the Garden’s research. My lovely friend Ingrid let me use her membership for a nice discount, too! The bunny vase is from Anthropologie and the side tables are old, from Target. The hand mold to hold rings is from one of my favorite stores (which I will feature tomorrow) here in St. Louis, K Hall Designs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0025\"<\/a>\"DSC_0027\"<\/a>\"DSC_0029\"<\/a>\"DSC_0022\"<\/a>\"DSC_0030\"<\/a>I love that the footboard that comes with the bed has storage — we are keeping books and \u00a0a few other little things there for now, but it would also be a great storage spot for extra blankets.<\/p>\n

And that’s all! I’m so happy that we have a nice space now that finally feels finished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
