A Grown Up Bedroom

Joe and I have been married for 13 years now. When we were married, Joe's mom Kim gave us her original bedroom set (2 dressers and a mirror) that she and Joe's dad had bought used when they married. We had a queen sized mattress (also 13 years old), a comforter so full of holes that we had to use the back side of it as the part that people could see, a tiny box TV, and one 13 year old nightstand that was broken in our first year of marriage but never replaced. This room was one that we did not enjoy showing to people, as we felt that we had to make excuses for the sad state it was in. It was time for a new, grown up bedroom!

The before pictures...

Joe's closet...

My closet... The closets were actually OK, but the set up was awkward with limited drawers and shelves, plus other than clothes there was no functional storage space for extra blankets and such.

And pictures after the 10 month process... We added two layers of crown moulding, painted the room 3 colors of blue to draw the eye up, new bedroom set (CA King bed now), chairs, modern TV, curtains, etc etc etc. The absolute only thing that we kept from the old bedroom was the lamp under the picture of the kids. Even the alarm clocks were updated, as it too was from when we married. JB Interiors really worked their magic for us!

Joe's closet became a linen and storage closet.

And I figured that "my" closet was big enough for 2 (barely!), so the Closet Guy worked his magic and gave us a better layout than the previous closet.

Next up is the guest bedroom!
