Hey guys, welcome back to another video. You might be confused by the title of this video
because we just renovated our bedroom. But when we did this room, I never finished this back wall,
like where my TV is. It's always just been a blank wall. And I, for the life of me,
could not figure out what I wanted to do here. So I wanted to just leave it blank until I
officially decided what I wanted to do with this space. So that is what we are going to be doing
today. We are going to just give this bedroom a little bit of a refresh, add some paint to this
wall and do a fun few decorating ideas as well as a thrift flip. So I hope that this video gives you
some inspiration. If you have a blank wall in your space and you need some ideas of what you
could possibly do with that. But before we get started, I wanted to thank Helix for sponsoring
today's video. We literally spend almost half of our life on our mattress. So having one that's
customized to your preference can really improve your sleep, which then improves your quality of
life. Helix Sleep makes premium mattresses and bedding that are customized to fit your needs
and conveniently shipped right to your door. Because we are all different, Helix has a sleep
quiz to match your unique body type and sleep preferences to make the perfect mattress for you.
They have something for everyone's unique taste. And if you have a partner, you can even take the
sleep quiz together and find something that's the perfect compromise for you both. I personally am a
side sleeper and I like a soft mattress and I sleep next to my husband who is also a side sleeper.
So based on my results, Helix matched me up with a Sunset Luxe. I've had my mattress for a few weeks
now and my night's sleep has improved dramatically. I actually asked my husband, how am I supposed to
explain my personal results without sounding dramatic? But you guys, this is by far the best
mattress I have ever owned. No matter how I fall asleep, my entire body feels so much support.
Every single morning since I have woken up with this mattress, I have felt like I have had the
best, deepest night's sleep. And I know that's because this mattress is so supportive, yet it is
so, so soft. I wish you could all just come over and lay on it for just a few minutes so you could
understand what I mean. But this mattress has been a game changer for not only me, but my husband as
well. My husband also usually wakes up with some kind of pain in his shoulders and not one time
has he woke up with any kind of pain since he has slept on this mattress. So it's safe to say that
we will be a Helix mattress owner for life. If it makes you nervous to buy something that you have
never tried, Helix mattress gives you a 100 night sleep trial along with a 10 year warranty. And
there are also financing options and flexible payment plans. If you decide after this timeframe
that you do not love it, they will pick up the mattress for you and you will get a full refund.
The best part about all of this is Helix delivers your mattress right to your door for free within
the US. It comes rolled up in a box just like you saw here in this video. It's super easy to set up
and it takes about 24 hours for it to fully fluff up. If you're looking for a new mattress, I would
definitely suggest trying out a Helix mattress for yourself. Click on the link below or go to
helixsleep.com slash the Hughes to receive $200 off your Helix mattress plus two free pillows.
Thank you again Helix for sponsoring today's video. So when it came to deciding what I wanted to do
on this wall, I knew that I wanted some kind of decorative trim, but I didn't want it to be
shiplap. We have it on the other walls and the ceiling. So I wanted something different.
And I also wanted to find a nice color that would go with the rest of the room,
but that wasn't the exact same color. So I went with this muted green color. I love this color
in our room. It's Benjamin Moore and the color is silver stage. So I will be sure to have all
details listed below in the description box, but I basically gave my wall two coats of this paint.
And then I will add some trim later just because it was easier to paint the walls and then attach
the trim to the wall rather than trying to paint around the trim. So, so that's the order that I
did this in. I also realized I didn't like the trim being white as I was painting this. I like
when the wall and the trim is the same color. So after I painted this, I went ahead and painted
the trim as well. Before we get into the trim, I wanted to show you this piece of furniture that I
found at our thrift store. It was only $30. And before you come at me for painting this, I want
to let you know most of this is actually plastic and it's not wood. The top is wood and some of
the trim is wood, but the inserts are completely plastic. And as I was out searching for a piece
of furniture to go here, I have been searching for months and months. I finally found this piece at
our thrift store and I fell in love and I had the intention of painting it this cream color. So this
is the chiffon cream color by Rust-Oleum and this is chalk paint. I had to do three coats total to
give it full coverage. And then I switched out the hardware to make it look a little bit more new.
Something else you want to do with chalk paint is give it a nice clear coat. So I just get the same
clear coat that Rust-Oleum sells. Chalk paint is very forgiving as in if it gets wet at all, it
will wipe off. So you don't want to have that on your furniture without having some kind of top
coat to seal it. So here Thomas is just painting the trim. We decided to paint it all the way before
we shot it into the wall again, just to make it a little bit easier. The way we spaced it on this
wall, we tried to just do this exactly on center, but the two pieces of trim are five and a quarter
inches apart. And then the big gap between them is 22 inches apart. The last thing I wanted to
do here was add a shelf and I did nothing to the shelf. I left it just exposed raw wood because it
matched our fireplace mantle. These shelf supporters were actually from Walmart and they were only
three dollars a piece. And then we just got this piece of wood for a few dollars from Lowe's. I
wanted to share something else that I picked up at our thrift store and that was this frame.
I found this for two dollars and then I went ahead and found a printable off of Google and I thought
this would be a perfect statement piece for the shelf. All of these books are also thrifted. I
always try to find muted tone books to decorate throughout my house. And then I also found this
little circle basket at our thrift store for just a dollar. This plant was from TJ Maxx and I've had
this for a few months and then this rosemary plant was from Target. This branch was the one I had
sitting on my mantle for a few months now. I had it in my spring decor so I'm just moving it into
here. And then I found this gold dish at our thrift store. I have one of my favorite candles burning
right here and that is from Antique Candle Co. I will have that linked below as well as some of my
favorite scents that they have. And then this wooden chain was from Amazon. I know this took
a few months for me to finally finish off our bedroom but I feel like it was worth it. I love
this piece of furniture that I just recently found and I have been holding out to find something that
I felt would really go well with this space. So again, I love this piece and I love that I was
able to find it for 30 bucks. You guys know how much I love to do thrifting things or things on
a budget and this entire makeover cost less than $150 and that is including the furniture piece.
So I feel like whenever you can do a makeover on a really small budget that is a huge win. But that
is everything for this video. Thank you guys so much for watching. I also wanted to thank Helix
for sponsoring this video and don't forget to check out their website. I will again have that
linked below if you want to get $200 off your own Helix mattress. Thanks again for watching
guys and we'll see you in the next video.
