At Christmas time, we start relocating furniture to accommodate our trees. This bench usually lives in the foyer but comes to stay in my bedroom for awhile. I find that when I buy what I truly love, it will work well no matter where I move it.

Rearranging gets me excited about a space again. It's inspired me to start work on my bedroom. Budget style. Here's my to do list. Of course I will be posting it on the side of my blog also so you can all laugh at how little progress I make.

1.A new white or cream duvet cover (if budget allows)
2. New curtains (or some exchanged with another room)
3. Paint the walls the same color as the studio
4.Paint the headboard (I've never liked the factory distressing that was done on it) and our large dresser a shade of white. 

This won't be an expensive makeover especially since we don't know how much longer we'll be in this house. The biggest budget buster is the duvet cover as we have the worlds deepest mattress and it requires bedding that is at least 108 inches wide. That usually means $$$. Plus I'm picky so that usually means more $$$.

I hate, hate painting furniture but I'm always happy afterward that I did it. If you are a furniture painter, please share any tips to make the process easier. It would be nice if I could learn to love doing it. Because I have a lot of furniture to paint in this house.
