When we first found our 1970's fixer-upper, I fell in love with the master bedroom the minute I saw it. It was really ugly at first, but it didn't matter to me. I could see through the outdated colors and woodwork.
I saw potential.
This is the story of how I completely overhauled our bedroom on a really tiny budget. Let's begin with a look at the before picture.
I trimmed the entire headboard with nailhead trim that I bought by the yard here (affiliate link). I absolutely love buying nailhead trim by the yard. It's so much easier than using individual nailheads for your trim. Rather than hammering in every single nail, you only have to hammer in 1 out of every 5. It's genius.

I did this entire room for under $500. The only thing I bought retail was the bedding and the rug. The rest came from a thrift store, garage sale, or was made by hand.
And I completely updated the entire room with paint.
This room had so much outdated wooden trim that I used to refer to it as the wooden dungeon. It just felt dark and depressing. I'm sure my awesome furniture didn't help matters much, either.

painted all of the trim and doors in the room white, which made such a huge difference, and then I painted the walls with a warm beige.

I also rearranged the layout of the room. The bed was previously between the two closet doors (closet makeover seen here), but there wasn't really enough room. So, I moved the bed over to another wall, and put the dresser where the bed used to be.
There were tons of diy projects that went into the making of this room. One of my favorites is the headboard I made out of some plywood, foam, upholstery fabric, and nailhead trim.
