Bedroom 2: Cottage House Flip Reveal

It’s Day 2 and Room 2 of the Bedroom Reveal Week! Yesterday you witnessed the transformation of Bedroom #1, and today we’re shifting gears with something quite a bit smaller, but with a unique personality of its’ own. Click to watch the Before & After transformation below:

Just a few steps down the hall from the master suite was a crowded room with a quaint little nook:

With pale blue polkda dot wallpaper and a blue comforter to match.

To add a little architectural interest and double as a headboard, I did a quick DIY shiplap installation with a picture ledge:

Then came paint and flooring:

But I loved this nook so much that I left it completely original 🙂

A little staging and poof! We have our new and improved Bedroom 2…

I love that the nook is the first thing you see when you walk inside.

And the shiplap isn’t bad either.

The navy buffalo check bedding was the first thing I bought for this room, and designed around that incorporating woodsy elements like a tree stump side table and deer pillow. I love the cabin feel it brings.

The shelf ledge was perfect for a few light pieces of art, which I made from DIY art and a map of the town found in one of the closets, placed in inexpensive Ikea frames.

I actually had the bedding set up a bit differently, but the Country Living stylist brought in a striped pillow and switched a couple things around, so I left it that way for my shoot. Who am I to mess with the pros?

And here’s a pro tip: if you don’t have a duvet cover—use a sheet, blanket or bedspread to wrap around your comforter to fake the look. The stylist taught me this, and that’s what we did here using an Ikea bedspread 🙂

Hello, deer.

This quilted bedskirt is so lovely, I actually bought one for Bedroom #3 as well.
