Another Bedroom Update

I am making slow and steady progress on my bedroom redo (emphasis on the word slow).  I set a goal to have it finished by the end of February so I have just under a couple of weeks to make that goal a reality.  Since I'm not ready for the big reveal just yet, I thought I would show you another one of the changes I've made to the room.

Here's a reminder photo of the "before".

I wanted to add some interest on the wall behind the bed and went searching in my basement for something I might be able to use.  I found this antique screen that I purchased last spring at the Sparks (KS) Flea Market.

Yes, it's a little rough but I love the old wood and hinges.

I decided to wallpaper the screen with a textured wallpaper to cover up the old imperfections.  After much deliberation, I chose a wallpaper with a woven look.

The wallpaper was pre-pasted so this was a pretty straight-forward wallpapering project.

After drying, this wallpaper could be painted.  I wanted the screen white so I left it as-is.

Now I had to hang it....not easy when you're doing all of this on your own.

Once it was in place I hung a thrift store mirror in the center.

Then I wrestled the mattress back into place and remade my bed.

I am really liking it so far.  I'm not completely finished accessorizing the walls....but that will have to wait for another post.

I'll be in Chicago this week for a meeting so unfortunately progress will be put on hold until next weekend.

Hope you all have a great week.
