a bedroom makeover brought to you by my seasonal depression

[@vernieplummer5148]

My husband also has the thing where he wants to save certain things that he's worn and use them again before washing. After huffing around about it for a few years I just started giving him a hook on the back of the bathroom door. It's called "worn once" and it works great to keep the stuff neat and tidy. We've made it 30 years now and compromise is a big part of that!

[@LightingInvoker]

I pile all my "not ready to wash" clothes on my laundry hamper

[@spectacularbear]

my not ready to wash pile is on a nice chair that's really uncomfortable to sit on so it's just decoration anyway

[@biancavieira1345]

I have one small drawer that can fit 3/4 items.

[@klimentina]

good to know! i'm about to move in with my boyfriend of four years and i know this will probably be our biggest issue.

[@flyingdust207]

2:08 "a warm tan color...maybe to match my dog" reminded me of the scene from Gilmore Girls when Lorelai vetoed a paint color because it didn't go with Paul Anka.

I'm not saying I did it intentionally but the color I chose for my main room is roughly the same color as my Siamese cats blue eyes....

I’m laughing because I recently recognized that every year winter is pretty tough for me. BUT I also rearrange almost every room in my house so much, it seems silly but I swear it makes a difference.

[@AmandaJ__]

I've heard that helps too!

[@RosenlundTara]

It's because subconsciously it's the only thing you feel like you have control of when you can't control your feelings or moods. This is why lots of people work out or meditate or changing up your environment is healthy. Much better then turning to unhealthy habits so kudos on you for figuring out what helps you!

I LOVE your style. Before you transformed the room, I couldn’t understand why you’d want to change anything as I thought it already looked great but that terracotta colour is stunning. It’s so warm and cosy and it’s beautiful. Love it, Sweetheart. Thank You for sharing.xxx

[@dloveofgod8269]

I do love the colors but personally not in a bedroom. I prefer cooler colors to rest & sleep in. We're each true to ourselves and she's so happy with it. I think it's a wonderful color pallet for a dining or living room. The drapes outside the window frame definitely warmed up the room. The diy duvet cover was great and coordinate with your fur babies!

duvet covers save so much washing of the whole duvet, especially when pets lie on the bed a lot, and you can change the look of the room so easily as they cover quite a big area.

How do you dye your duvet covers? I’m in the process of trying to find one that’s in a very specific color and it’s next to impossible for me to find one I like in my price range so I’m planning on dying a white one. I’ve just never dyed anything that big! Would love your input!

[@ElssiePlum]

The headboard and paint is gorgeous and i love the lamp, i would have loved if the duvet cover was a warm olive or even a beige. I think it just took it a bit too over the top on the monochromatic-ness

Yes! The moment I saw that orange, I thought a dark green would go with it beautifully. I can see chocolate, too.

[@lucypineapple8392]

When I first moved in to my place my mom decided to paint my bedroom wall a mint colour and I just left it for months. bed collapsed a month ago or so and I had to move everything in front of the wall to set up a new bed. I was just staring at the wall and decided "I should paint this. Now or never." Went to get samples. It was just one small wall so the sample was enough to do 2 coats.

Wow. It feels so unique to a lot of other revamps I’ve seen. It was so lovely to feel the warmth as the room changed.

My god that was absolutely the right color choice! I really have to start testing paint before buying several gallons

[@RealJudyi]

I have a pretty yellow kitchen. It's a weird color like a golden yellow with a touch of orange. I love love love it. On hot days it's bright and fun, in spring it's pretty with the bright green trees. During autumn it fits right in with the touches of yellows, browns and reds, and during winter it's so warm nod inviting. Needless to say I cannot get over how much joy the color brings. Same goes for my living room, it's almost a pink clay looking color but as soon as the color was put up in the house it just gave so much warmth and peacefulness to the space. Before my entire house was white and I never liked it because the space is too big it made it cold, even the smallest mess made it look awful. Now even when it's messy it never bothers me. Color in a home brings so much depth and charisma. I'm especially loving all the wonderful earth tones. All my relatives were shocked at the colors I choose (I'm actually a less is more, minimalist type person) but all said that the colors just worked so wonderfully well. I'm looking forward to redoing my room room, but unlike the rest of my home the room does remain white, this is where my best ideas come from, the one space I must not clutter is my thinking space.

For future reference, sheets make great inexpensive sources for large amounts of fabric if you want to make a duvet cover. Plus you can sometimes find new or like new ones at thrift stores to repurpose. Also, linen accepts dye pretty well, so if you had been unable to find the right color, dyeing white linen would have been a good option..
