New House Makeover: Main Bedroom

I'm wrapping up the new house makeover series with a look at the main bedroom.

Now on to the main bedroom:

This photo from the real estate listing shows the room when we purchased the house. We painted the walls, scrubbed the floors and swapped the light out for a ceiling fan.

Walking in is a large window with a comfy chair and shelf.

The shelf was a $7 yard sale find!

Before I get to the rest of the room I wanted to show you this China cabinet. I just found it a couple of weeks ago at the thrift store for $119. I've done about 17 pieces since we moved in and am finally nearing the end!

Our TV area of the main bedroom had been like this:

Plastic drawers and a broken dresser 😏

I've been looking for something that I could put here to hold the TV and store the clothing. I knew a dresser wouldn't be large enough, but I also didn't want something that would stick too far out into the walkway. Here is what I ended up doing:

After painting the piece in white I used the top on one side of the room and the bottom on another. The top is skinny enough to leave enough walk room, tall enough for the TV and holds tons of clothing (I sprayed the glass doors in gold to hide the clutter).

The larger bottom cabinet I moved over by the bed and used it to elevate the faux fireplace. There is so much storage in the top portion alone that the bottom cabinet is only about 1/3 full!

I need to work on accessorizing the top of the TV cabinet a little better - I'm thinking some ivy plants - but overall I'm really happy with the improvement.

And there you have the main bedroom.

I hope you enjoyed this home makeover post, thanks for stopping by!

Fake Bake Molds: My Collection

In my breakfast room I have a large buffet style storage cabinet where I tuck away all of the molds, tins and cake pans that I use for fake bake crafting. I thought it would be fun to share the collection with all of you - a lot of things I've picked up from yard sales and thrift stores but if it was an Amazon or Walmart purchase I included a link! Check it out:

This 'buffet' is actually a vintage record player cabinet that I found at the thrift store and refinished. The left side contains a large top opening bin where I stash a lot of miscellaneous molds and pans:

Miscellaneous

Heart Shaped Pan

Silicone Cube Trays

Cupcakes & Bundts

Mini Bundt Pan

Whoopie Pie Pan

Rounds

Giant Silicone Cupcake

Giant Cupcake Mold

Standard Size Silicone Cupcakes

Silicone Loaf & Ice Cube Tray

Left Cabinet

On the left side (underneath the bin) is my collection of seasonal and holiday molds; Valentine's, Fall/ Halloween, Spring/ Easter, and Winter/ Christmas.

Valentines

Pixelized Heart Mold (This set also contains the multi shaped mold)

Spring/ Easter

Blue Easter Egg Mold

Fall/ Halloween

Winter/ Christmas

Recycled Packaging

You know the wax cubes you get for your wax warmers? Sometimes they come in cute little shapes, in this case gingerbread people and holiday trees. I saved the containers and was able to make faux candies by using plaster!
