Sienna's Room: Closet Glam

The next project I did in Sienna's Room was to make the closet pretty. 

It was just a boring closet with oak doors, oak trim, dingy white walls and a generic shelf and rod before I completely made it over. Here is the before when we first moved in the house with the green paint and all. 

I painted the room gray - Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore and the trim Alabaster White by Sherwin Williams. The inside of the closet needed a serious coat of paint so I painted it Alabaster White as well, to match the trim. 

I had leftover hot pink paint that I had custom made for our bedroom wall at our old house. To make the closet more fun, I painted the shelf and rod hot pink.

Next, I ordered 1-inch silver metallic dot stickers from Amazon for under $10. Here is a link to similar labels. I know you can get vinyl dots made for the walls, but these were really cheap and I think they will come off easily someday if needed. 

I used a ruler/level to make sure the stickers were spaced equally and straight. I spaced them about 10 inches apart horizontally and vertically from the center of each dot. This was pretty time consuming, but I loved the results!

Here is the final result... 

It is hard to get a good picture because they are reflective. It looks a little different now with the clothes hanging and curtains, but I will show more pictures soon! 

New Curtains!

So I did a little work in my bedroom today. I have had these new curtains I have been meaning to put up for months and finally I was productive! :) I love productive days like today! 

So here is the before shot of one side of our bedroom- since we have been in our house (believe me there are other before pictures I will show later!) I got the boring curtains for $2 - but have gotten their money's worth in the last couple years. I didn't like the heavy closet doors and they always stay open (I think that is the 5th time in the history of living in this house that those closet doors have been shut.)

 

A shot of both closet doors. The brown just doesn't go with the colors. 

So here is what I did today! I really wanted heavy black curtains and it was hard to find them for some reason. After looking for a bit, I found these faux silk curtains in a really long length at Walmart.com for $20 a piece. Pretty good deal if you ask me! They are really nice heavy fabric and have an inside white liner. I have had these for months - I just HATE hanging things - but I found these tracks for curtains from Menards yesterday. All you do is hang the three mounts to the ceiling and pop the track in and it has all the clips attached. You just clip the curtains in and the curtains can easily slide back and forth. 

I also hung some wedding photos in the corner. It is about time I am getting those put up too.

Here is a shot of the his and her closets half open.

I really think it gives the room a nice chic look It also seems like the ceiling is taller with the floor to ceiling curtains. Finally I will "shut" my closet doors because they are so easy to pull back and forth.  This is one of the last projects I am finishing up of my mini makeover of my bedroom. More pictures of the whole bedroom soon!
