Bedroom Makeover: The Big Reveal!

Bedroom Makeover: The Big Reveal!

I'm so excited to finally reveal our entire bedroom makeover today, it's been a long project, and much bigger than we anticipated when we started the whole process. As I shared at the start of this journey, we loved the massive master bedroom space we are lucky enough to have, but wanted to change up the furniture layout and the way the space was being used. The makeover included several components including: a new home office area, a new organised storage cupboard, removal of an exterior door and plastering, a new paint job, and the most exciting part for us - a new bed!

Have you been following along with our bedroom makeover project? If you've missed anything, I shared how we created a new home office area, and did some construction to gain a new storage cupboard as well as some extra space in the room by removing a door. Up to this point, my husband had been doing most of the hard work, but now that it was sorting-time, it was my turn to step up. Which this organising fanatic was more than happy to do!

Today I'm showing you part 2 of our bedroom makeover, which is all about construction. This stage was really out of my hands and into my hubby's. Phew. My part was to come later with the painting, organising and interior decorating. It's all about team work... and knowing where your talents lie!

There's nothing better than launching into a makeover without quite expecting it. My husband and I do love to plan future projects, but this bedroom makeover actually happened quite incidentally. I'm excited to show it to you over the next 3 weeks, it has progressed nicely (albeit slowly!) and we are now absolutely loving our new bedroom space. Ready to launch in?

I promised that the 'Quick Tip series' would be moving to video format instead of a regular blog post, so today is the first instalment, with a look at how we safely store our knife collection in the kitchen. Safety should be the number 1 priority when you're organising your kitchen, particularly with young kids around, so this magnetic metal rack that we use is a perfect option. I'd love to hear how you organise/store your kitchen knives, it's always great to hear new ideas to make you think outside the box.
