I have grown to love the shabby chic look over the years and wanted to bring this style into my bedroom, I chose two lovely Annie Sloan colours and set to transform my room! Again, there wasn't too much wrong with it before, but with paint and a few new accessories, a change could be done quite easily. Again, I sold the old items to fund the new ones. The room now feels cosier and a lot brighter.
I added paint and handles to the drawer unit and wardrobe. I also added material wrapped around cut to size hardboard to the door panels.

With my Dads help I made some frames from an idea I saw on Pinterest. We used pine dado from B&Q to make the frames, a lot cheaper than buying big frames!
The added bonus of redecorating furniture is having a massive tidy up and sort out. I have got rid of so much stuff that I'd held on to for no apparent reason!
I repainted my pine framed mirror in the matching colour and distressed it in certain areas.
I matched my smaller shelves and wooden storage boxes with the paint colour scheme. This is a good way to tie everything in the room together. I changed the lampshades, bedding and drapes.
The frame above my bed I add pictures and cards to each week. I have added fairy lights to the top, which has made the room a lot cosier.
