When we moved into our rent house, the master bedroom was incredibly dark and depressing. After we painted I wanted to keep it as bright and fresh as possible. I was hoping for a completely different look than our previous bedroom, but I couldn't justify buying all new curtain fabric and bedding.
Most of our bedroom furniture was (very graciously) handed down to us but it was a mismatched mess. I wanted everything to coordinate so I painted everything myself to save money. The wicker chest (that doubles as my accessory closet) was a traditional white one that I spray painted. I replaced the wicker knobs with beaded ones from Anthropologie but eventually all the embellished parts popped off.
The gold backs stayed on the dresser and I reused the beaded pieces as lamp finials for our bedside lamps. (They remind me of the ones by Hillary Thomas Designs.)
The antique ginger jar lamps are from one of my favorite stores in San Antonio, Pagoda. The other bedside table used to be dark mahogany and I just painted around the existing handles.
Since our bathroom doesn't have any counter space or wall outlets, I made a 'vanity' for myself between the windows. A mirror, desk, and chair is really all you need!
My makeup is scattered on a tray where I can easily find it since I'm usually running out the door! I keep a notepad on my desk to jot down sewing ideas and notes.
I love this tiny milk glass lamp that was my grandparents. I keep my favorite L'Objet candle and perfume beside it.
Trays are also ideal for easy cleaning and containing clutter. The one on my bedside table forces me to keep it tidy. Otherwise I'd have months of magazines piled up!!
