As always I am amazed that another week has come and gone….yikes!
This week we were able to get a few bigger things checked off my list, yay!
The first is the DIY bed. I will have a post coming out soon with all the details about the bed. Let’s just say I love how it turned out. As a DIYer who struggles at being neat and tidy, precision in building is hard for me, very very hard. I built this thing by myself and even though it’s not perfect, it’s strong and I feel good that I built it….plus, it was $50 in lumber, can’t beat that!
I made a quick trip to IKEA this week, that’s a story for another day…. But, in all the chaos I got the last of the decor for the room. While I was there I also picked up a strip light to go above the closet. This bedroom is quirky to the max. There is a light right in front of the closet and it was just awkward. The light strip actually looks good there.
SNEAK PEEK!
Here is a quick peek at the dresser I got at the thrift store for a steal, $50. I found the best product to restore this piece. I will be sharing more about that soon too!
Quick question….
My dad gave me this old unusable ukulele, seen in the picture below. It doesn’t even have strings or tuning keys. I am debating about painting it a fun color….any thoughts? Or, should I leave it as is? It’s a cool old piece.
Also…
If you ever watch my Instagram stories I asked your opinion on if I should paint the knobs gold or leave them….I am still debating, but would love your input!
Here is my t0-do-list:
–paint walls
-finish floor molding (it’s only been 3 years, I guess I should get it done! HA!)
–Install new lighting
–build bed (yikes)- ( done!)
-Fix craigslist dresser
–paint accent chair (craigslist find)
-TARVA nightstand hack- (bought but need to be assembled)
-create DIY art
-build headboard (still on the fence about this one)- now I think about it, I probably won’t have time :/
-make DIY curtain rods- almost done!
-hang curtains- (bought but need to be washed and pressed)
-build and hang floating shelves
-decorate
-hope I don’t give myself a heart attack (jk)

UPDATE!
Hawthorne & Main is all about finding your style for your space! It should be a reflection of you! 
I think the knobs on the dresser would match the room better if they were gold.
Not sure what you decided but I’d vote for gold knobs!
Can’t wait to see the finished look!
I can officially say that they are now gold! So excited at how they turned out. I should have a post up Thursday with a couple pics!
It’s look great!! I love how it is shaping up. I totally think you should paint that uke a fun color! Maybe if you don’t have a time to do the headboard you could find a cool wall tapestry to hang?
I really should paint that uke, I just cant decide. I was actually just looking at it today wondering what color to do. I think I have decided not to do the headboard. I really want one, so maybe down the road… I think a tapestry would look amazing up there! thanks for the idea!
My favorite color. It is looking fabulous so far. I love the way you painted the wall as well. I did the same thing with my son’s room and also the kids’ bathroom. I am also redoing my dining room in Hale Navy. I just can’t get enough of the color blue. Good luck!
I am loving blue too! It jus makes the room feels so sophisticated. It is actually my all time favorite color for clothes too! Almost done, on the home stretch!
So impressed with your building skills! Can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
I have tired and tired to learn to build. I have realized that I am not very meticulous and that has caused some problems. Still, I am trying to learn…..let’s just say the bed looks amazing, from a distance. I would say that it is super sturdy though, so that’s good! Thanks!
