Bedroom overhaul

This weekend, my husband and I decided to tackle a couple of overdue projects in the house. 

First step was a trip to the local Ikea store to get some curtains and curtain rods. Once back home, we happily removed the ugly metal bifold doors from the closets in our master bedroom and installed the curtains instead. It looks so much better!! Total cost of the project came under $80. Definitely cheaper than new bifold doors and way more practical since the closet are facing each other.  

Then we also tackled the window treatments. Again new rods but we kept the existing curtains and sheers for now. It looks a lot better just with this small change. 

After that, I just decided I had it with the bookshelf on the second floor landing. Sooo...we packed the books in bins, moved the bookshelf to the office, which required other pieces of furniture to be reorganized there. We ended up working hard until 1am.  Two rooms tackled in the dat. Not bad.

There is still a bit of finishing touches that I will probably tackle by next weekend but we are both happy about the outcome. I will post before and after pictures soon. 

Next up, the guest bedroom: the plan is to turn it into a big girl room for our little  bug. I already have all kinds of decoration ideas for it. Unfortunately, the first step will have to be some demo since that room needs a bit of extra insulation. I'm not looking forward to the plaster mess but it has to be done.
