THRIFTED BEDROOM MAKEOVER

All right, we just sold our bed. I already found another bed. So, we've had mismatched nightstands for quite some time now, but I have been keeping my eye out at thrift stores to find ones that I like that I can paint the same color I'm going to paint the dresser that I found. But this is what things are looking like right now. Once I have our bed here, then I will get it put together. We are gonna paint the walls. This whole room is gonna look so different. ♪ Close your eyes, get some rest ♪ ♪ By your side, lay your head on my chest ♪ ♪ Now you've had a really bad day ♪ ♪ But I'm right here, it's gonna be ♪ ♪ The world could fall down, it's gonna be okay ♪ ♪ The sun could go out, we're gonna be okay ♪ ♪ If all the blue skies fade to gray ♪ ♪ We're gonna be okay ♪ ♪ On your soul, hold my hand ♪ ♪ Let go, understand ♪ ♪ Now it hurts, wasn't fair ♪ ♪ It's over now, so don't despair ♪ ♪ The world could fall down, but it's gonna be okay ♪ Okay guys, now I wanna kinda walk you through where I got everything, starting with my dresser and my mirror. So this is where I found it, it was on Facebook Marketplace. I ended up selling the nightstand because it had one nightstand with it for 40 bucks. So I really only got this for 60. This isn't going to be a full-blown tutorial, but what we did is we first primed it with some shellac, then Thomas did one coat of chalk paint, and then we did our second coat with our milk paint, which was in the color proper. Don't worry, I will have every single thing I'm talking about linked below, unless it is something from the actual thrift store. ♪ The world could fall down, but it's gonna be okay ♪ ♪ The sun could go out ♪ Moving on to my mirror. Okay guys, I saw this mirror on Facebook Marketplace. The lady said I had purchased it, and then she wrote me back to say someone offered her double the money, so someone paid her 50 bucks. I was so frustrated because I felt like I had scored with this mirror, so I actually went on Amazon and I typed in standing mirror. I found one almost exactly like this for 50 bucks. So I felt like I kind of scored. I wanted it to be this orange color because I wanted to paint it with some chalk paint to give it more of that distressed, rough look. So as you can see here, I will be doing two coats of paint. I do not tape it off. It is so easy to wipe off. All you have to do is spray it with some Windex or any other kind of glass cleaner, and the paint will just wipe right off. Once my second coat was dry, I took a wet cloth and I wet distressed the entire mirror. And that's how you're going to get this really nice distressed look without ever having to sand. ♪ Being told inside my head ♪ ♪ I'm too shy to straighten up my bones and be a man ♪ ♪ Better tear this wall apart to let you in ♪ ♪ And say the time's running out so take the chance ♪ ♪ Make a move cause this door won't stay open till the end ♪ ♪ Won't you tear my world apart ♪ Okay, now to end it, I just want to do a quick walkthrough and just point and tell you where everything is from. Okay, so these two candlesticks from the DI, they actually have their price tag on them, and it says 29 on that one. Oh, and 25.99. This, they were super banged up. I don't know if you can tell, it's really bent. But I had Thomas force it down. It was really hard, but they look fine. I think they look great. Candles are also from the DI. They had big chunks out of them, but I just turned them just right, and I'm going to light them. You would never know they were really banged up. I already explained all of these thrift store finds in another video, so if you didn't see that, I will have that linked right here, and I will also have it linked below. That's basically everything on this dresser. I already shared that the dresser and the mirror were from Facebook Marketplace, so keep your eye out, because I see dressers like this posted every single day on Facebook gear itself, so if this is a look you're going for, it will be very easy for you to find one just like it. The mirror was supposed to be thrifted or from Facebook Marketplace. I already explained that too, but I did purchase this from Amazon, and I will have that linked below. This light I've had for like six years, and I cannot remember where I bought that, so sorry about that, but I'm sure that if you looked, you could probably find one even on Amazon. I have also had this for several years, but I did see it at Hobby Lobby recently, so I guess that's where I purchased it. The candlestick and this cute little vase is from the thrift store. I did get this on Amazon, and I made this. Now, for the mantle and the fireplace, I will have a video going up tomorrow or the next day, just a full-on DIY on how we did this. It was super easy, you guys, and it was under $40, so I'm really excited to share that video with you guys, so stay tuned for that. We did purchase the bed from Amazon, and also this blanket. I had my eye on this blanket forever, you guys, but they have been sold out everywhere, so I only could find this ivory color. I did kind of want more of a gray color, but they said that they wouldn't be in stock till July, so I'm like, well, we'll just go with ivory, and I think it looks fine. I do like how it turned out, so it is the softest blanket I have ever had in my life, and I love that it covers everything, so if there's stuff under the bed, nobody knows. Amazon, Amazon, and these. Obviously, this came with the bedspread, and then I got these pillow covers on Amazon as well, and I've had that just forever. Everything right here was from the thrift store. That's also in that video that I talked about. Curtains are from, I don't wanna guess because I've had those for a long time, but we did just get new rods from Walmart for nine bucks, and they're really big rods. I love those, and they extend to 84 inches if you need them to be bigger, so that's a really, really good deal, and you can see my reflection right now, and then as far as the lights, these were original with the house. They were brown. We spray-painted them gold when we first moved in, and now I painted them black, so they've been quite a few different colors. This clock I actually got from the DI. I will show you the original picture right here. That was five bucks. Don't know where I got that plant. That's old, and it's dusty, and nice, okay, and then I did find the two nightstands on Facebook Marketplace. I wanted to find something that looked similar to this dresser, and I thought that those were pretty close, you know, especially from far away. You would never know, but yeah. I think that's basically it. Thank you guys so much for watching, and stay tuned for the fireplace video, and I do also have another thrift store video coming up this week where I just go to this thrift store, and I share with you my favorite secrets of shopping secondhand. Thank you guys so much for watching, and we will see you in the next video.
