![]() In a perfect world, we’d eliminate all devices as well, but right now we use our phones as baby monitors at night so that probably won’t be happening for a while. We have two favorite prints and a big round mirror on the wall in place of a television. The hubs and I are much happier, relaxed people in open, uncluttered spaces, so we’ve tried to keep as much “stuff” out of our bedroom as possible. But now that Inés is sleeping through the night more consistently, we’re hoping it becomes a regular thing for all of us. My main focus when designing this room was –you guessed it– quality sleep! I’m not going to lie, with a baby and a toddler there hasn’t been a whole lot of that happening the last 18 months. The queen-size snuggling was nice and all, but boy does it feel good to be back in a king-size bed! With a master on the main floor and a baby who didn’t start sleeping through the night until recently, moving upstairs to be closer to the kids just made the most sense. Such is the reality of having a baby and a toddler! I held off on writing it because we’ve actually been sleeping upstairs in our guest room/office for the last nine months or so. With some hard work and a little bit of vision, this living room was transformed from a mismatched, outdated room into a bright and welcoming space.Welcome to our minimalist master bedroom tour! This post has been in the works for quite a while. We bought a big palm for the corner of the room, and I also purchased a couple of faux succulents which require zero maintenance and look so cute sitting on the side table! When you don't have a big budget for decor, I think the very best thing you can put your money towards is green stuff. This really is such an inexpensive and easy way to add a lot of texture and color to a space. I made a large wall hanging to go over the fireplace-it's a variation on the one I made for the boho bedroom makeover that I did a while ago. Our purchases included two comfy lounge chairs, two woven stools, a side table, a fun geometric rug and some decor accessories. We got most of the other pieces in the room from IKEA, and really you cannot beat the value for money. ![]() Our solution was to buy a slipcover, and it worked surprisingly well! It's such an improvement on the floral number that is hiding underneath it. The sofa provided lots of seating, and we didn't want to get rid of it as we didn't have the budget to replace it with anything else. The extra bonus? There were also some treasures uncovered during this process, such as the two lamps, and some big pieces of framed artwork. It made huge difference decluttering the room and emptying it of anything that wasn't necessary to the space. It was a feature of the room that was always there, but the white walls just help to elevate it.Ĭost: $100, and some willing volunteers CLEAN IT UPĪs is often the way with communal spaces, this room had become a bit of a dumping ground for donations, overflow furniture and random decor pieces. I love the way the crisp white walls contrast with all of the beautiful wooden trim. I chose white for the walls to make it feel bright and open, and we painted over the brick fireplace in black to give it a more modern look. Without a doubt, the most cost-effective way to makeover a space is with paint. So, I set to work on a design for the space and came up with some budget-friendly ideas to transform the space. The main challenge was that the budget was extremely tight. I was asked to help because the living room (which is also the first room you see when you step into the house) needed a bit of love. The organization provides food, clothing and school supplies (amongst other things) to families that need extra support, and the house is also used by other groups as a gathering space. The room that I have been working on is part of a house that is used to help local families in our community. Today, I'm excited to share the full reveal of this modern, minimalist space! It's been a joy to work on and I'm honored that they asked me to help. I posted over on Instagram a few weeks ago that I'd been working on a pro bono project for a local organization.
