Hello! How has your summer been? We’ve been keeping busy by going to the pool and doing some small projects around the house. One of these was updating my son Brady’s bedroom. I didn’t want to go with a theme bedroom, but rather a modern farmhouse/coastal look that would last a while. We had a small budget to work with so we didn’t buy any new furniture, instead we decided to repurpose the items we had. To change the look of the room, the first thing we did was paint the dark red cottage style twin beds. I chose a vibrant blue spray paint called Oxford Blue by Krylon in a satin finish finish. It worked so well!

First, I want to let you know, this room is tricky to decorates because of that little white door in the middle of the wall. The door leads to the attic, which we into a hideout for the kids. The majority of the time the night stand table is off to the side of the left bed. But for these photos I moved it to the middle.

After painting the beds, we changed up the bedding. To me, new bedding makes a huge difference in any bedroom. This adorable bedding is from my favorite bedding place - Beddy’s. I chose the Farmhouse Collection because the bedding has a blue/gray stripe against a refreshing white background. The collection also has matching pillows, which coordinate well with the bedding. As a mom, I love Beddy’s because of the soft fabrics and styles, but most importantly because of the functionality of the zip up feature. It helps keep kids’ rooms tidy! Beddy’s are an easy way to make the bed, and we no longer have blankets and sheets dragging on the floor. Plus, the Beddy’s come with a pillow case and matching sham - so you don’t need to buy a separate sheet set!

I already had the gray rug, but it’s only a 5x7, so I definitely need an 8x10 for this room.

I love anything with stars on it, so I also added these cute star pillows from Krumpets Home Decor. (You can use code NISSALYNN at Krumpetshome.com for 10% off your order.)

To brighten up the room we tried a new thing - peel and stick wall paper. I chose a shiplap wallpaper from Wall Blush and it looks great! But it was pretty tricky to put up, but defintley with it! (You can use code nissalynninteriors15 for 15% off your order.)

I took down the previous decor and replaced it with wooden pennants. The pennants were originally a natural wood color - so we spray painted them white. I also added this darling little wall shelf by the bed for easy access to books for bedtime reading.

The quilts at the foot of the beds, I’ve had for years. I bought them at Target, and they have lasted for a long time. (Here’s a link to a similar quilt that I have.) I love having a quilt or extra duvet at the foot of every bed in my home because it makes the room feel more cozy.

I also changed out the curtains in this room. Before we had navy chevron window treatments, but they didn’t go with the modern farmhouse look I was going for. (Plus, we only have on window in the room, so I wanted somthing light and airy.) The buffalo check curtains were perfect! And they were so inexpensive!

As for the galvanized metal letters above the beds, I purchased them at Hobby Lobby several years ago. I love them so much I decided to keep them in the same place.

I hope this post inspired you in some way! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a question in the comments and I’d be happy to get back to you.

I have two daughters fourteen years apart, and it was time to update both girls’ rooms. My youngest daughter recently turned three, so we changed her room from nursery to little girl’s room by taking down her crib and putting up a twin bed. My seventeen year old wanted to update her room up by creating a more sophisticated space. My goal for both rooms was wanted to keep the current color schemes so we did have to repaint and buy everything new.

Below is a photo of Annalise’s nursery before we made changes. When we put up her big girl bed, I knew exactly the bedding I wanted for her. Enter Beddy’s once again! I chose Beddy’s in Vintage Blush because it works wonderfully with the existing color scheme in her room! (And you can use code NISSALYNN for 15% off your order!)

The white iron bed has a special place in my heart as we bought it for my first daughter 15 years ago and stored it in the attic hoping we would have another little girl again some day. When I found out I was having Annalise after three boys - I was over the moon! I was excited to put this bed frame again!

Love the blush poke-a-dot inside of Beddy’s!

So excited when my Beddy’s blankets arrived!

I used both the Gray Dot and Blush Beddy’s blankets and layered them to make the bed look extra “fluffy.” These blankets are so soft and comfy, I frequently curl up with them when watching TV. (And you can use code NISSALYNN for 15% off your order!)

Our oldest daughter, Kay-Lynn, turned 17 she wanted a little more sleek and stylish look for her bedroom. I wanted a way for her to keep her room more tidy! So I thought Beddy’s would be great idea for my teenage daughter too. Plus Beddy’s would help her make her bed faster before her friends come over!

Here is a photo of my seventeen daughters room before the room improvements. My daughter has her own style and she knew what she wanted to change. She chose the Modern Gray Bedddy’s in all cotton for her bedding. We also changed out the darker gray rug, for a lighter one, and removed the decorative pom poms in the corner. She picked out the hanging plant holders and the faux succulent plants all on her own. She kept the rustic wood signs (from Hobby Lobby), above her bed, but added lights around them to make them more fun. We kept the yellow and gray comforter that resting at the bottom of her bed. You can find a similar on here. We also added a small white desk, lamp, and chair so she has a place to do homework.

It’s amazing how changing out the bedding and a few accessories can make such a huge difference!
