mrs.b Wrote:Redecorating the bedroom, I'm going with a beach-inspired decor. Blue walls, sandy colored carpeting (it's there already, much as I'd like to do hardwood throughout), and a palm-like ceiling fan in dark wood. Made curtains from a canvas fabric a friend had in his garage and was throwing out that reminds me of sails. Saw someone dropped an old waterbed bedframe on the curb, so I shoved it in the SUV and sanded and stained it dark, nailed some supports inside and made a platform bed, and found an old wood door on the curb from another house some contractors were gutting and flipping, and I refinished it for a headboard. Have some vendor friends I know from work hunting for decent looking rope spools (they throw them out after selling the rope lengths from them) to sand, stain, and make into nightstands. Still deciding what to do with my dresser since it does not go with idea, and am determined not to buy something new. Wanted sea fans in shadow boxes but the ready-made ones are insanely priced, so found some cheap on eBay and am going to shadowbox them myself, along with some other general wall art I already had or am shopping for cheap. Once I'm done with my part-time job and get my weekends back, my son and I are going to take some walks along the local beach to hopefully find some good seashells.Just wanted to comment that this idea is SO cool!! I love themed rooms, and the beach is one of my favorite themes :coolgleam: I'm sure the room looks awesome
