Initial Stage...Bedroom Makeover

 

My sister was back to my house for a few months now. She transferred all her things from the apartment to my house. I was telling her to dispose all of the things that she got but unfortunately, she cannot let go of her bed. Since i occupy the biggest room in the house, her bed was transferred on my room making my room a little cramped and unfinished. I had a 48 inch bed before which is just enough for my size. Now i have a queen size bed making my tossing and turning more easier. But I'm not liking the look. I still want my own smaller bed and I'm missing it so much. 

I decided to make over my bedroom into a more fresh and vacation-like look. I want it to be vibrant and cool at the same time. So i opt to paint it turquoise not only because it is for a coastal look but it was actually my birth color.

 Here is the top view on my room. Look how small the space on the side of my bed. I painted this using the cool water of the Rain or Shine paint and I'm loving the color. Unfortunately my camera setting was on a vibrant color so the color clings on the greener one. The color is actually blue with a tinge of green.

 Here is the front view. Notice the artworks above the bed. This artworks were properly secured for my safety. I chose blue printed sheets.

Here is the side view. I installed the old bamboo window panel for a more relaxed and cool look. Now the look is starting to be coastal.

I'm planning to install ceiling fan to cool the room in case i need to turn off the A/C. I'm thinking of black ceiling fan for my coastal look. I believe woods are overwhelming already because of my bed frame and i believe choosing a neutral one will compliment the intricate pattern of my headboard.

I am planning to install built ins as a headboards and additional shelving unit and storage. I know it will make my room smaller but i need those to display my collections and to hide the unsightly conditioning unit.

I am appreciating the intricate pattern of the wood carving on my bed. Its very tropical at the same time. It also matches my wood trim at the ceiling.

You can absolutely gage how small the space now. I do believe that i can still work this out and think of the possibilities on how will i maximize the room with such limited space.

I really like to have my citronella lamp near my bed as the scent really relaxes me and prevent the mosquito from roaming around. I also have lavender scent in case i need to have another smell but right now, I'm so addicted to the citronella smell scented oil.

I placed the tall and narrow cabinet to cover the A/C units breaker and outlet. I have a plan to visually hide my air conditioning unit as it is now considered as an eyesore.

The other side was painted coral as it matches or compliments the turquoise color of the other wall. It gives additional punch of color. My next job is to install additional display shelves above the bed (again) as i have many knick knacks to display as i am planning to incorporate my collections on the overall theme of my room. I am planning to finish the makeover before Christmas as my gift for myself.
