Gwyn's Bedroom Remodel - Part One

I remember as I teenage girl how important my bedroom was. It was my sanctuary, my retreat, and my safe space. My daughter Gwyn is 15, in High School, and is needing that same space. Teenagers and kids are bombarded with so many different things these days so we felt it was important for her to have a separate space from the outside world. Somewhere she could relax, reflect, and re-set. Gwyn has dealt with some pretty hard things over the past few years including depression and self harm, so it's vital for her to have a positive space that will make her feel comfortable and safe.

 

 

I normally have all the say when it comes to decorating and projects around out house. I have a vision and run with it, but not this time! Teenagers can be pretty opinionated and Gwyn had a few opinions and her own vision for her room. She really wanted a loft bed with space underneath for either a desk or a hang out area. She also wanted it to have a Boho/ 80's Funk kind of vibe with the colors and design. I created a Pinterest board and began pinning lots of ideas for the loft bed, room colors, lighting, flooring, decor, etc.

Anytime we start a new project, we like to really plan out every detail as much as possible. We have found that this is the best way to save time and money. We will create sketches and take measurements, price out all the materials including tools, and we also decide what things are really important and will be must haves and what is negotiable. There are always unforeseen costs and things don't always go as planned, but trying to work out as many of those details beforehand really helps to keep things running as smoothly as possible, especially for a big project like this one.

One of the big must haves for this room was the Murphy door. Because her room is the smallest in the house, and because of the design for the room and the way we fit the loft bed in, we had to remove the closet and rebuild it on the other side of the room. This left us with an open closet area with no doors. We could have left it open but I came across this awesome website that makes Murphy doors. I love Murphy doors not only for their functionality but for the design and aesthetic that they bring to a space. I will go into more detail and share the door we chose once it is installed and we do the room reveal.

Remodeling a bedroom is definitely more than a weekend project and we are about 80% done with the room right now. We are planning on having it finished within the next few weeks and I'm excited to share not only the final reveal, but more details on how we built the loft bed, the closet, install the Murphy door, put in the flooring, and my favorite part, decorating! I'm really excited about the end result and Gwyn is excited to not only have her new teenage retreat, but to have her room back after sleeping on the couch during the remodel! :)

  • My husband whom I built my life with for 23 years left me and the kids without a word. Everything came crashing down on me and I reached out to our loved ones and no one could help. There came a time he filed for divorce even when we had no issues or ever fought over anything disastrous. Dr Isikolo came to my rescue and fixed the problem I had with my man. He reunited us back together again and he returned home to us. Indeed life is mysterious and I never thought I would experience what I did went through but all thanks to Dr Isikolo who worked for me and assured me of the positive results after 48 hours which indeed came to pass as he promised. He can as well fix your problems if you contact him now. Text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196 or review his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com)

  • I won the $10million lottery jackpot twice within one year, although it was not by my powers. I’m Wayne Murray from Brooklyn, i was very lucky to contact Dr Lucas a great spell caster that has never fail, when i contacted Dr Lucas through the Email and WhatsApp i got online he responded to me at once and i explained to him that i want to win the lottery, his response was that making people win the lottery is the easiest thing for him to do, so he started working on my spell immediately i provided all the necessary requirements for him, i was curious to know how it is going to work and how I’m going to win with his numbers so that made me obey all his instructions, after 48hours he gave me the numbers and instructed me on how to play, so when i played i actually WON, but i still didn’t believe he did it then, so i pleaded with him to give me another numbers again which he freely did, and to my greatest surprise I won the second time, Dr Lucas is real and genuine, tested and trusted.

  • I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her.  I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours. Contact him now if you need any help call/text him on WhatsApp via +2348133261196 or checkout his webpage (https://isikolo-temple.com)
