DIY Bedroom

My daughter Ms. E, and her husband Mr. M. and I were in Santa Barbara, CA, a couple of years ago.  Ms. E. fell in love with this bedroom display at The Pottery Barn.

Mr. M. used stain to transform their blonde, solid wood furniture, into the black, four post bed in the inspiration picture.

E. and M. did a fantastic job!  Below are "a few photos" of their finished project:

This was the first quilt I made, 13 yrs. ago!

M.'s stain job looks very professional 

I love the way their bedroom came out.  I especially like the chandelier with the fabric covered chain and Ms. E.'s two bedding options.  

It's Spring!  Time for cleaning and redecorating!

I hope their bedroom has inspired you with your projects.

Thanks E. and M. for sharing!
