Hi everyone, the time has finally come where I'm going to be sharing with you guys my full bedroom makeover
I'm currently sitting in my bedroom right now
And this has been a project that i've been working on kind of like periodically over the past couple of months
Since about may when I moved in and not only am I so excited to share with you guys this bedroom transformation
But i'm also super excited to say that this video is sponsored by helix
Which is a mattress company that I love some of my friends have helix mattresses
And they are absolutely incredible
So i'm very very excited to be getting one and i'll touch on them in just a little bit
Taking a quick trip down memory lane
If you guys have been watching me since about may you would notice that my background which I film against in my bedroom has changed
Quite a bit. I added a board and batten wall here a green one, which I absolutely love
I also added curtains. I say that word wrong every single time curtains
I say curtains
They agree, and I did document all of that process for you guys
So i'll be sharing it throughout this video
So do not worry that's going to be in here as well
And I am just so excited. I have a brand new bed coming in
I have some side chairs that I ordered I have just i'm just excited to see this space come together
I think it's going to be really eclectic and fun
Now if you are not already make sure to subscribe to my channel
I post brand new videos on diy and home decor every single week and make sure to click that little bell icon next to
The subscribe button that way you are notified every time I upload a brand new video
And if you didn't hear the news, I launched an app last week, which is so exciting
It is available in the app store for both ios and android so you can download it. It is called loanfox
I'll link it in the description box for you guys below. I post exclusive additional videos over there
I have my whole video library my blog post so you can shop my entire home decor line
Let's go ahead and jump on into today's transformation
If you guys remember back to my empty apartment tour, that is exactly where this clip is from
So this is what my bedroom actually looked like before moving in. This is when I toured the apartment
So as you can see the wall color was a little bit yellow
I was obsessed with the arched window
Not a huge fan of these floor-to-ceiling mirrors at all, but the landlord was so kind
He took away the floor-to-ceiling mirrors and he also scraped all of the ceilings for us
So no more popcorn ceilings and then over here in this little nook area
This is like an additional closet space, but i'm actually converting it into an office space
Which is going to be its own makeover in probably a couple weeks here on my channel
So keep your eyes peeled and subscribe for that video
But I love the floors all this space really needs is a fresh coat of paint some new curtains
And of course the ceiling scraped and those mirrors removed and then it's truly my dream bedroom. So let's see how this progresses
I'm, so super grateful to have such a large bedroom now
This is the largest room i've ever had and I knew when helix reached out
I wanted to upgrade my mattress to a queen size and that is exactly what I did
So I took their sleep quiz online, which was super helpful
It basically just asks you a couple of generic questions on your sleep position what type of mattress you typically go for
Just those kind of generic questions about your sleep pattern
Which is actually extremely important and then it's able to match you with a perfect match
And I actually opted for the midnight luxe mattress as you can see here
It is shipped to your door in a box, which is extremely convenient because it's kind of like pressure sealed inside
So you just pop it out unwrap it and let it kind of aerate for about 24 hours or just puff up, you know
So it gets nice and fluffy and after it fluffed up. I truly could not believe this was a boxed mattress
It felt so luxurious so nice
I felt like this could have never been put in a box you guys like I cannot
Even tell you how comfortable this is. I've been sleeping on it for about a week now, and I absolutely
Love it. It is incredible and I do know purchasing something like a mattress can be a little bit challenging online
But helix makes it very convenient because they give you guys a 100 day sleep trial to ensure that you love it
And if you do not there are free returns
They'll come and pick the mattress up. You do not have to shove it back in the box, which is amazing
And if you guys head to helixsleep.com slash drew scott, you can get up to 200 off your order plus two free pillows
So definitely check the link in the description box below
So as many of you guys know i've been living in this apartment or this bedroom, I guess for about six months now
So I have done a couple of kind of changes in here
Which i'm going to share with you guys, of course
And the first one was is that I painted all of the walls chantilly lace by benjamin moore
Which is a nice bright white you can see the difference from the old color right here
It is just crazy what some white paint can do to a bedroom
so I painted it all white and something else I had to do right away when I moved in was install curtains because
My room gets so much light, which is incredible. However, when the sun starts shining in your eyeballs at 6 15 a.m
It's not the most incredible thing in the world
But I wanted to create curtains that accentuated the arch because the arched window is such a focal
But also that covered the windows at nighttime and that is exactly what I did with some long rods
I hung up the rod and now I am doing the curtains and as you can see
these are the gold curtain rings that I purchased because
I wanted the curtains to drop a little bit more in length and I didn't want to have to purchase the whole neck size
Which would have required me to sew every single curtain?
So I decided that i'm going to be doing the curtain ring that way it kind of added this additional inch
Which is really all that I needed and these curtains here are incredibly beautiful
They are from amazon, but the reviews were amazing. Everyone said that they were similar to like a restoration hardware linen curtains
All right, guys, so you remember how the walls looked like before like this
I just added the curtains and I cannot even believe the change
Can you that is insane what curtains can do to a wall? This looks incredible
I used a super super long gold rod up here, which just looks perfect and I didn't want to cover the arch
So the arch is still there the curtains look amazing
There's actually two panels here that way I can pull one to the arch one to this window
Then of course this panel goes to the left this panel goes to the left because it gets so bright in the morning
I need sun blocking curtains going to be doing the same thing actually to this wall as well
Um, there's going to be a panel here a panel here a panel here and a panel there
So i'm going to go ahead and do this wall, too
And one other large addition
I actually added to this room was the board and batten wall that I installed in collaboration with home depot
Which was so exciting. I actually created this with them about two months ago
So it is over on their channel
If you are curious, I will link it below for you guys so you can take a look at the full tutorial
I've actually already
Shown board and batten on my channel a couple of times
So I figured I didn't really need to show every single step in this video here because every wall is different
But I did install about halfway up the wall some board and batten which I knew I did want to paint a color
I wanted a nice bold color on the bottom
So I just installed it how I traditionally do and of course you can watch the full tutorial if you do want to see how
I create something like this
It only took me probably two hours or so very simple
And for this one, I actually also added a shelf on top just for an additional little detail
And you guys have been asking me what color it is. Here it is
It's kona for green by bare if you are curious, that is the color on my board and batten wall
I did two even coats on there and that finished it off. I absolutely love this accent wall
It is day one of my bedroom makeover
Well, I mean you guys have already seen that I got a couple things done in here
so the curtains are hung and the board and batten wall is done, but I wanted to give you guys an overview of the
Space currently because you really haven't seen like where i've been living for the past couple of months
I have not shared it with you. So let me show you guys the current status of my room
Absolutely love my room as well. So this is kind of the view from the door when you walk in
I have an area rug here. I have my dresser as well, which i'll touch on a little bit later
And then we have my two nightstands which you guys always ask me where they're from
They are an anthropology piece that I bought right when I moved in by justina blake and lee and sadly
I believe that's how you pronounce your name. I hope I didn't butcher that sadly
They're not available anymore
But there's these really really cool rattan style nightstands and then I have my board and batten
Of course, we have a mirror over here, which leads to my closet. I want to do something over here
I don't know what I think i'm going to paint the frame black
Maybe I actually don't know where I want to start first
My helix mattress has actually been in my craft room for two days like just fluffing up
So it is ready to go on my new bed frame
Which I also got because i'm upgrading to a queen bed
I've had a full my entire life and i'm upgrading to a queen i'm becoming a queen period
So I guess I should maybe start by building the new bed frame so we can get that in here because I do want to
See how the bed frame looks with my wall behind it
And i'll make sure to link the bed frame for you guys below. I got such a good deal and I think it was like
300
350 ish dollars and it's a spindle bed. It's so pretty. So let's go ahead and assemble that
If you guys are curious i'm going to be keeping this rug in the lone fox room because I love this rug
It's just not meant for this space, but I do want to use it in the future. So transporting this over to my storage corner
It has been about two hours since I last talked to you guys and the bed is fully assembled and it is so
Pretty how great is this wood color? By the way, it is like a dark it's called walnut
Um, I just really really like the color of it. I think it contrasts nicely with the floor
It also contrasts really amazingly with this green wall here
But as you guys remember I removed the prior rug that I had in here and I do not have a new rug yet
So I actually am going to go over to home goods right now. It's about 2 p.m
So I figured I have a little bit of time before the sun goes down
I'm going to try to head over to home goods and see if I could find a rug for this space
I've never bought a rug at home goods, but I do know that they have a lot of eight by tens
Which that's the size I do need
So i'm in home goods right now i'm checking out little like
Side table options because I do need a side table for my two chairs that I have and I found this one
It's actually pretty simple. It's like a dark wood and I also apologize you guys the music in here is so
Loud, I don't know what is up with it. Oh, it's like 40
I don't know if you remember this coffee table I used in a past apartment makeover that I did
Um, and you guys asked me where it was from. This is actually so cute and I found another one
I never thought i'd come across another one. I got the other one at home goods as well. So
Found this one. Look how cool that clock is also
I'm currently jammed inside of this rug section, but this is such a beautiful rug
It has such nice like soft greens brown. There's like a little bit of pink in here and yellow
Like i'm actually trying to hold it open, but you guys can kind of see it a little bit maybe I don't know
It's really cute though. It is actually a vintage turkish rug. So it is very expensive
Um, but I honestly think I want to get it and splurge on it because it's so pretty again
The music is kind of loud
But I just found these bird baths and how cool would these be?
As a side table as opposed to this one that I found. Um, it's about the same price
$39.99
But I love the shape of this. I would definitely repaint it. However
I think this is much more interesting. Um, and it's odd that it's a birth bath, but I think it would be a really cute side table
The main color in my room is green and I just found this vogue
Coffee table book and it's green. It's so cute. It's about jewelry. But I mean
I think it'll be really cute on the shelf or something
so I just got the price tag for the rug and I don't want you guys to hate me because I am going to get it
because honestly
I've been looking for a rug for this room for months
Since I moved in and I have not been able to find one. I like everything about it is amazing
It's actually vintage hand knotted rug. Um, so it's not just like a random rug that costs as much
It's 15
Can you see?
It is
$1,500 which is a lot of money
Okay, this is editing drew popping in because you guys I reasoned with the camera for two minutes
Why I wanted to purchase this rug and I just felt like I don't need to do that
You know if I want to buy an expensive rug and splurge on a couple items for my bedroom where I spend
Every single day I work out of here. I live out of here. Every single thing I do is in my room
I figured I should splurge on pieces that I do like I feel like I work hard
Um, and I feel like if I want to buy a $1,500 rug that i'm going to have forever I can do so so
That's my reasoning behind buying that rug. I absolutely love it. I'm literally my foot is on it right now
It is incredible
You guys are going to see it in the space in just a second
But that's the reason I spent uh quite a bit of money on this rug
I really just loved it and I hope you guys do too
I came to Lowe's right after home goods to look for a light fixture for my room. I'm really into
This one right here that has the wood on the bottom and then like the addison bulb
I also like this one here, which is just a black circular one
I think I have space for a substantial size of light
So I think i'm gonna just go ahead and get a larger one
And if for some reason it looks too big I might put it back but those are the two
I'm gonna check over here as well. You might see me laying on the new rug just taking a quick little nap
Just kidding. I just brought it in my room. It was so heavy
I had to bring it up the stairs so I needed to lay down for a second
My hair is crazy. I was wearing a hat. I had to take it off. Um
Now it's really fluffy, but I got this rug at home goods. Yes. It was a splurge
I know it was a lot you guys but I am so
Excited about it. If it doesn't look good
I'm gonna be kind of a little bit sad, but I think it should look okay
The colors look so pretty um, and it's gonna go really nicely with the wood and the green wall as well
So let's lay it down
It's the bed the mattress is on
And it is so so comfortable I
This is much more comfortable than my old mattress for sure
I've had my old one for like eight years or so, but I don't have any bedding for a queen-size mattress
So i'm not really sure exactly what i'm gonna do at the moment
Um, i'm gonna attempt to fit my full-size bedding on top of this. It's getting a little dark outside now
Good morning, everyone. It is the next day
um
I actually spent last night heading over to a couple of shops to get some bedding for my bed because I
don't know why I thought this but I swore that every like
full-sized
Item like a full bed size item like sheets or comfort or whatever. It was also fit a queen
I swore everything was full slash queen. I see that all the time
But apparently that is not the case for everything. Some things are full and some things are queen
I feel like this is something I probably should have known but you guys again
I'm, not an interior designer. So I did not know that
So I ended up going to target and they didn't have much at all, which sucked
I was able to actually find a duvet insert. They had one left
So I got a queen-sized duvet insert from that casa luna collection
Then I also found a queen-sized linen sheet set in this like creamy tone, which I think will be nice
Also matches my visual interest shirt almost and then I ended up going to cb2 because cb2 in la is pretty close to target
And I found this duvet cover. They didn't have any of the shams or anything, but it's like a linen-y
Striped kind of creamy tone. It's very similar to this
I feel like these might go nicely together, but i'm also not 100% sure
We also got a delivery today from west elm this morning, which I am so excited about it's behind me
I could not even like record when it got here. I was so excited
I wanted to put them in the room. So let me share with you guys the chairs that I ordered from west elm
Okay, okay. Okay. Here are the chairs. I'm not sure if i'm gonna do two chairs or one chair
I got these on an insane savings
I believe they were originally like 600 each and I ended up getting them for around 250 with shipping
Which I thought was a great deal
I got it during I think like
Some form of buy more save more sale that they were having but I do want to go ahead and get the bedding on the
Bed because that's a very focal point in this room. It's very large
So I want to make sure that the bedding looks nice and then I can kind of coordinate all of my decor
And everything else I do in this space around the situation here because I just love this rug
I also ordered some rug tape on amazon so I can tape down the edges a bit
I went ahead and spent like 30 minutes styling the bed a little bit as you can see
This is the state that it's currently at I do not know which throw blanket I want to put on here
I have like nine different options. I actually also added these really cute vintage throw pillows from my online store
Which i'll link these below they come in a lot of different colors
And I just really like those I think they add a nice touch to the bed
Also, I want to really badly install a light
I think that's what i'm actually going to do next because I think the light's going to be a very very focal point in this
Room, so i'm going to go ahead install the light and see how that looks i'm crossing my fingers that it looks good
Update so I hung the light up as you can see here and I really love the size of it
I actually think it looks really really great. It's not too big
I was a little bit scared that it was gonna be too big. I only used one of the chain links
However, the scary thing about this light fixture, which I just learned how to do these by the way
Both the wires are freaking black and both of them are black here
One's supposed to be white and one's supposed to be black
One's supposed to be white and one is supposed to be black
So so we're gonna hop on a call with marie's um uncle who is an electrician and he's gonna walk us through how to do
This so once it's all up and fully done i'm going to share it with you guys
But he said it should be pretty simple
Um, he's just gonna look at the wires on the facetime and then we're gonna figure it out together
So i'll be back once this is up
Okay, guys after about two hours. This light was the biggest struggle i've ever had in my life to put up
It was such a challenge mainly because it was heavy. I had to hold it
I was stringing wires through here and there trying to figure out which wire was which
But it does turn on
As you can see and it looks so
Good, so it is up. It's ready to go. All the cording is perfect
So so far so good with the light and I love that it turned out
So let's move on to some other parts in the room
Good morning guys
It is sunday the 25th today and I think today is actually going to be the last day of the makeover
So this morning I already went ahead. I applied a second coat to all of the closet doors
So these are perfect now no streaks at all
As you could see the first coat was a little bit scary
But I think it was because it was like a glossy paint and what I basically want to do today
Which are the two main things that are the I guess largest things I need to do
Is I need to mount the tv on the wall and then I also picked up these really cute sconces on amazon
Which i'll link these below for you guys and I want to hang these right about here-ish
I think that would look really cute kind of by the curtains and the window and above the bed area as well
Now there is no hard wiring in the wall
But i'm going to be doing one of those puck light kind of like diy hacks to make it look like you're wired in the
Wall for a sconce then everything else from there is mainly just decor
So I want to do those two larger tasks hanging the sconces the tv first
I also need to diy the birdbath I found at home goods as well
So that's going to be the little table for the chair section, but let's get started
These right here are the puck lights. I got these on amazon
There's a little remote here and I already installed the batteries in these with the batteries
These should actually last 100 hours each which is a pretty long amount of time. Click them on you click them off
That's all there is to it. And all i'm going to do is literally take this
Go over to my sconce
Drop it in the top just like this kind of face down so the light illuminates downwards and then
When I click the little on button my sconce looks like it's lit up
I also love how you can just control it with the remote so I can just have this on my bedside table
I can turn them on and off and it does control both at the same time. So that's really fun
I'll link these below for you guys as well
But such an easy hack to make it look like you have sconces and it's hardwired
So I got this frame at goodwill when I went to my parents in arizona
It was four dollars and 49 cents, but it's so pretty
It has like a little bit of brass and then it also has wood and I think it might look really nice
The sizing of it up on the wall in between the sconces. It's hard to see
It's going to be a little bit on the smaller side. However, i've really been liking
Just fell you guys however
I've really been liking like smaller artwork, um in a little bit more white space
Especially because I think this area is a little bit busy anyway
So I think having a smaller piece here would be nice. I do need to artwork for this though
so I think i'm going to go online and see if I can find some form of digital download and then
Download it and print it at staples and just put it inside of this frame here. So
I just mounted the tv and I put my tv frame on it because as many of you guys know
I have a samsung frame just like in the living room. This is a smaller size. This is the smallest
It's the 43 inch and I got this really cool frame from deco tv frames
I'm going to link them below for you guys. This is the ornate gold option
so pretty they actually sent this to me when they saw that I um
Bought a samsung frame because I posted about it right when I moved into my apartment
They're like would you like a frame and I was like absolutely so they kindly sent me this over and it looks incredible
Let me show you guys look how cool that looks
It literally looks like a piece of artwork and then i'm going to plug it in
Of course a cord is going to come down here-ish
All right, you guys the room is completely finished and I am
so
So excited with the outcome of this bedroom. I cannot believe this is my
Room like absolutely insane. I am obsessed with it
And I hope that you guys love the outcome just as much as I do
So i'm going to be revealing it to you guys in a couple of seconds with some befores and afters
So you can kind of see how this space transformed over the past few months
Mainly over the past couple of days, but let me share with you guys the final bedroom. So three two one
Bedroom makeover. I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. It was such a fun project for me
I was a little bit scared and hesitant halfway through after I got the chairs and I saw them with the rug
Overall, I think there was just a lot of stuff in my room
And that's something I think you guys should keep in mind is if you're making over a room and you still have a lot
Of items that you know
You're going to be removing they can really alter like your vision on the space at its current state if that makes sense
So I think that you really need to remove everything
And kind of work on it step by step until you get to the end and then alter things in the end kind of tailor
It to your likings. That's exactly what I did and it turned out incredible
So I hope that you guys also enjoyed my bedroom as well
And do not forget to also check out helix using the link in the description box below at the very top

Which is absolutely incredible and you literally have nothing to lose because you get a hundred day sleep trial free returns free shipping
