Ok, let’s talk progress and then I’m going to share my very detailed to buy/to do list for the room. The first step was to clear out the room. I gave the mattress and box spring to family and sold the bed frame set on OfferUp for $80. It was my first time selling on there and I had a really easy experience. Then Adam and I disassembled the desk and wrapped it up for storage. We moved everything else out of the room so we’d have plenty of space to assemble the new bed. Oh, and we also thoroughly vacuumed and steam cleaned the carpet while the room was empty. Actually, I say “we” but Adam steam cleaned the carpet while I was at work a couple days ago…he’s pretty great.
The new queen-size bedding arrived this week too. I ordered this striped duvet from Target in gray and in blue because I couldn’t decide and it was on sale at the time. I'll return whichever one I don’t use. I’ve loved this duvet cover ever since seeing it in one of Emily Henderson’s bedroom posts last year. I’m so excited to finally have a place to use it. I also ordered the same sheets in her post because I love the combination of prints. The mattress is being delivered tomorrow, so I’ll be able to get the bed all made up this weekend!
Now let’s talk to-do list. I know this list is really detailed, but I think it’ll help me stay on pace and finish the room in time. Usually I just lump items together and then I end up underestimating how much time I need to complete them or forget I need to order something for it until last minute. I’m sure I’ll think of other items to add as the challenge progresses.
Here’s an updated mood board, so you can see some of the items/tasks for reference:
To Buy:
• Art prints for above bed
• Frames for prints
• Small artwork for next to window

ReplyDeleteWe put it together late last week and it looks SO good! I can't believe how good it looks for the price!
DeleteLove the sheets and duvet! That is going to be a difficult choice to make ;)
ReplyDeleteI ended up picking the blue one, but I think the gray would have looked great too!
DeleteLove the sheets and duvet you picked! I might have to check those out...our master has blues in it, so those are perfect. Can't wait to see the room come together!
