So, I've been living in my new place for about a year, hooking it up... we'll just the places that "people" could see. Until today, I did everything but the bedroom. I was squatting in my own home.
I went out, got some flat white paint which I retouched the bottom pannels and I used Olypmic brand's "Steel City" on the main part of the wall which you could see above.
The main thing i'm proud of is the giant accent wall. I went to IKEA and picked some curtains that were inexpensive, yet high on personality. Nothing says whimsy like cartoon birds in cartoon trees. I used a boiled water and cornstarch to make a glue that enables you to peel the fabric right off and causes no damage (big deal if you're a renter like me). You can get the recipe HERE.
After I laid down my IKEA carpet (cause how else would I stay under budget...) I put my bed in bunch of different parts of the room until I was satisfied. I also made myself alittle office area with and old desk I found, as well as a sitting area with a vintage chair and a side table that I made out of a discarded vintage suitcase.
All I need are curtains, artwork, and a few more finishing touches here and there with paint around the door frame.
VOILA!! The 12 hour bedroom.
