I am saying latest because I do tend to change things up a bit in my house. I like change. What can I say? My bedroom originally looked like this:
Then I painted it and went for a completely new look and it
came out like this:
And then I got bored.
Tired of the light pink accents and I had two hulking dressers in the room which hogged up all the room in our bedroom which was already small to start.
And…. I was feeling a little beachy.
It was time for a change.
So now we have this!
I am loving the change!
I love my new crabby pillows and my stenciled pilowcases!
Did you notice the artwork above the bed? That was one of those ugly pictures salvaged from the Salvation Army. Click HERE to see how I created it!
Just some stencils and some paint was used to stencil these pillowcases. Definitely use fabric medium to soften any painting on fabric – this also allows it to be washable and I recommend that :o)
?
My fabric.com order came just in time! I adore the crab fabric from Michael Miller!
So fitting for my theme!
This little striped dresser functions as a night stand – click HERE to see where this cutie began and how to stripe her up!
The banner and numbered pail I created myself.
I am just too frugla to buy things…I just like to make them.
I created these striped panels…the tutorial on how to create these can be found by clicking HERE.
I have a little tweaking to do on them, but I am in
love with them.
They are just perfect for my room!
This is a dresser I madeover – it was $5.
You should have seen the before!
This is my husband’s desk that I refinished…to see this transformation, click HERE. I also created this subway art beachy sign…it was really rather easy..you can find out more about how to make your own by clicking HERE.
I created these frames as well.
Yep, I have a painting addiction.
I think I am going to enjoy this makeover for
a little while…
at least, until the next change.

Very fun, beach transformation!
Great job as always, Stacey! Your home looks SO cozy and inviting. Love the beachy color scheme and happen to have it in our own bedroom. The difference is, I’ve been working on the SAME theme for several years, haha.
Please don’t ever stop creating and inspiring! Blessings. 🙂
Love the beach themed bedroom (they’re all beautiful!)
this is my favorite looks so far! it’s light and beachy without being too frilly, and i love the crab pillows- they are awesome!
ahh. Love the beach! Now I want to go back!
what a lovely space you have created! Love the beach!!!
Stacey,
Love the new beachy look! Both the dressers turned out great. Also the curtains that you did is along the same line that I’m wanting to sew soon. I’d read recently someone doing their curtains like that out of sheets. When I went to town the other day, the store didn’t have the size/color sheet that I’m looking for but that was fine, I have enough other projects to keep me busy.
You did an awesome job on the whole room. :0)
What a relaxing retreat! And not to be too cheesy with a pun, but it really is re-treat. Beautiful the first time and an even great treat the second time around. 🙂 OK yeah, a little cheesy. 🙂
Totally awesome! Great job!

I love this…the nightstand is my favorite part. I have a thing for stripes. 🙂 When will you have more information about the Upcycle Challenge??? I’ve been checking your blog more than once a day since I noticed you were going to do something like that. I’m excited to get the information and see what it is all about. Fun fun fun!
YOUR BEDROOM TURNED OUT GREAT! I LOVE THE LITTLE CRABBY PILLOWS!

Well, the more I read this post the more “favorites” I found! The striped dresser was a favorite until I saw the curtains until I saw the $5 dresser makeover until I saw the cute little crate turned on it’s side. Guess I’ll just claim the whole room as a favorite! Great job!
What a beautiful bedroom! I’m a lover all of all things beachy! Great job!
