Finally!!
A HUGE thank you to Linda @ Calling it Home, the genius behind this fun challenge
that puts our creativity, perseverance and patience to the test!
If you remember back to Week 1, it was my goal to make our little 13' x 11',
1938 bedroom feel large and luxurious using DIYs, Craigslist, and my favorite
budget friendly stores, Homegoods and Ikea.
Here you go...
No surprise, I went with my favorite neutrals that I can change up on a whim
when I'm in the mood for color. A lot of pattern and texture keep it interesting.
I stenciled three walls with the Cutting Edge Alexa Stencil.
BEFORE...
The headboard was a score from Craigslist, originally red and gold. A little gray paint
gave it the timeless look I was hoping for. The velvet pillows are from Ikea, I added
the Greek Key trim and made the leopard lumbar last year.
A small console fit perfectly in the bay window, and ended up being a great place for the tv.
The Chippendale chair was another Craigslist find, I painted it high gloss white and added
a faux sheepskin upholstered seat. The black and white print is framed fabric and the
confetti vase a simple diy.
I love my new bleached natural woven shades, I had them raised to help with
lighting for the photos.
Mr. Simple's nightstand, I love the classic, masculine statement the agate bookends
and brass magnifying glass from Rejuvenation lend to his side.
The 63" Ikea mirrors behind the nightstands give the illusion of a larger space, I added
the top detail for a custom look. 
I used a pair of Ikea Rast dressers as nightstands, but not before doing a hack!
Ikea Rast Dresser - Covered in Faux Ostrich
Ikea's new work lamp is a favorite, I love mixing metals and styles.
Opposite our bed is an oversized print of the exterior of the hotel we stayed
at when we were married in Italy.
In keeping with my tradition of showing you what I'll do come spring and summer,
here are the neutrals with a pop of color... :)
The lamps, hotel bedding and bright throw are all from Homegoods.
I was smitten with the Greek key trim and added more to pillows from World Market,
and made gray and white lumbar.
The bedskirt is Nate Berkus Patras Chamomile, and was a super easy diy.
I brought in my favorite abstract from Kerry Steele, and a purple pillow with
another nod to Chippendale.
Don't be fooled by the glamorous vibe,
keeping it real with our spoiled Rio that shares the end of the bed with us!
I can't thank you enough for following along, and all of your support and kind comments!
I have lots of fun behind the scene details I couldn't fit in,
stop by for an update next week!
Now go see what these fabulous ladies are revealing and don't forget to
stop by Linda's on Thursday to see the reveals everyone has worked so hard on!

Wow you really did a spectacular job and were so resourceful. That headboard is a real statement piece and love all the bedding choices. Proof positive of how far a bit of imagination and good taste can go. Just beautiful!
It looks fantastic. I particularly like your headboard, and I like the mirrors behind the nightstand. I am also impressed by how the Greek key trim completely transforms your cushions.
Absolute perfection! You can really see all of the beautiful details and all of the hard work you put into the room reflects the overall feel of the space. love it! The mirrors and your ikea hack are my faves!You need to do my bedroom!!

It's gorgeous Pam! I can't get over all the great texture and pretty details! I'm also amazed that you created two fabulous looks in such a short time, another job well done!
Sheer perfection! I love how you work a space missy!! It is beautiful and I would have trouble deciding whether I want to sleep in my "winter or summer" room each night!! Congrats!
Beautiful Pam. I so admire your work!
Ding dong, it's House Beautiful at your front door!!
PAM! Your master came together SO beautifully!! That ornate headboard against the modern stenciled wall is really such a star…….. I LOVE the huge photo of the place that you got married in Italy, it's special and also, in it's streamlined silver frame, PERFECTLY compliments that marriage of ornate+modern. OH and the raspberry? Looooooove. love love love. I can't even decide what's my favorite element of this room - all I can say is, girl, you are good!! Now, I think you are due a nice relaxing spa day!
What a beautiful job Pam, and love all the details, the window shades, the headboard, your styling! Your accent wall is fabulous and of course, Rio completes the look! Love that photo of Italy. Great job on the end tables! Now go out to a Martini lunch with your girlfriends! xoxo Nancy
Glammy glam! Such a transformation. And great mix of old and new!

Absolutely beautiful and I expected nothing less. You are so talented and have such a great vision of what something can be. That headboard is to die for and I love anything Chippendale. Look forward to many great ideas in the future.
two words: mind blown. or they could be world rocked. or they could be holy s**t!
Amazing Pam!! What a transformation!! The wall stencil and the headboard - oh my!! Great job :)
Pam you really knocked this one out of the park! I love that the room is neutral, yet so full of texture and pattern. And all of you little touches, amazing! Where to begin…. the decorative element above the Ikea mirrors, of course the stenciled walls, the headboard, but also loving the glossy white chair with the sheepskin seat. And then your Summer scheme, just yummy! A job well done!
Wow! I can't believe you made/made over half of this stuff! It looks gorgeous!
Your talent shines through extra bright in this room, my friend. High five to you for the amount of work you poured into this. It's not easy taking "cheap" finds and turning them into a glamourous space. You killed it!
Wow! Just stunning Pam! I love that Ikea was incorporated in a few of the details.
That headboard was some find and the entire room looks absolutely gorgeous!! Nice!
Amazing, Pam! I love the neutral tones, stenciled walls and all of the personal touches. You knocked it out of the park!! :) Well done, my friend!
What a chic bedroom. It is so sophisticated. I love the ostrich dressers. It is hard to believe they are IKEA! Great job!
Perfect! There is no other word! Just perfect! I love everything... the headboard is amazing! What an awesome find!
Oh Pam, I'm so happy for you! The walls and headboard totally make the room, but you have packed it full of so many custom touches, I love each and every one! I bought the same Hotel duvet cover for my room, and I think I'm going to have to copy those lucious velvet greek key pillows...love! I've also considered recovering some stools with that faux sheepskin, and I think your chair just sealed the deal for me! Thank you for providing so much fabulous inspiration with this room! I'm sure you'll have extra sweet dreams tonight! :)
I love how you managed to mix old and new, it looks fantastic!
Really wonderful, Pam! The Rasts and the headboard are my absolute favorite parts of the makeover but the whole room came together so, so well.
What a great job - I especially love the wall stencil, leopard, Greek key, and those amazing ostrich Ikea hacks. Well done!
Regal, rich, and romantic! Great job Pam!
pam - wow. how glorious! i love it. i love that Rio loves it too :) the wall treatment looks fantastic and that bedskirt is just perfect. i love everything
OMG, seriously gorgeous. It just shows how all the different layers come together at the end to create something stunning. Love it with or without the color. The tall mirrors on top of the gorgeous nightstands are perfect and that headboard is a dream. Love it so much!
Design perfection! Your talent and vision show in every element. Not to mention your off-the-chart work ethic and dedication to your blog: paint and stencil room; paint headboard, chair, and light; upholster chair, sew pillows and bedskirt, frame beautiful photo, and amazing styling--and 2 season versions to boot! It all paid off! Every detail and element are perfection.

STUNNING headboard. Breath-taking wallpaper! Love the nightstands and the mirror positioned behind it. Your staging is to die for. The photos are perfection. What great work!

Hi Pam,
Would you mind sharing your source for the nature woven shades? Thanks so much your room looks great! Always enjoy your blog.
LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about this space Pam...Gorgeous!!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Your bedroom is so luxurious and stunning with all the beautiful details. The bed is to die for, it is incredible and I love the color! Well done!
You had me at the rast hack. Great work!
Wow, what a makeover. I love all of your brilliant ideas. The Ikea hack is fantastic, along with the tall mirrors above them. What a smart idea. That bed is the best story, ever. You have real vision. I hope Mr. Simple is happy. If he is anything like my husband, he is happy it is over :). I really love the pop of color for Spring. I am obsessed with that magnifying glass. Great job. Your dog has a good life.
I love how you show your summer and winter looks- so clever! The room is gorgeous!
I love every single thing about this room. That pop of color version makes me so jealous. If you add a greek key trim to anything, I'm obsessed. I love neutrals that you can always change up. What great talent. Your vision really came to life. Loving all your hacks!
Looks great Pam! I really love the idea of the mirrors behind the nightstands - might have to borrow that one! And the ostrich...it's amazing.
OK...what the heck....before I go any further you had time to not only style it one way but 2? You are superwoman. Now let's talk about the room. Boom. It is gorgeous. The bed and bedding is crazy good. Love the painted chippendale chair and that little vignette . The walls and the large Ikea mirrors are a great idea to add more space to the room. Pam...you are good and forget about those dressers.
The room truly is stunning Pam! Those walls are amazing and I love all the layering. And of course that Rio is one precious dog!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Looks so fabulous! I had no idea you and Mr. S were married in Italy, so romantic! Absolutely love that you tied that 'detail' into your room.
I've been following along with the ORC and I wanted to actually leave a comment. This room is stunning and that's great work and I covet the TV console, but most of all I have to say that that headboard is INSANELY GORGEOUS. That goes down in the annals of craigslist finds! I was proud of the antique headboard I just found (and I am still going to buy it!), but mine is nothing on that. Very impressive.
beautiful!! its so regal!! Congrats Pam this is amazing!! And I love all the hacks (the rast is masterful but so are the mirrors) you included.
I'm so impressed. I love everything about your room. Love the stencil and the headboard is amazing. All the details are perfect. And we are definitely kindred spirits when it comes to our love of Homegoods and mixing metals:)
So, so beautiful! That headboard with that stencil...I am amazed. Just stunning!
So luxurious and beautirful. Every detail down to Rio looks stunning!
You have done an amazing makeover, Pam! Your styling is fabulous and I love the nightstands, the headboard, the mirrors are a great idea. Great personal touches like the hotel picture. Let's not forget the stencil work - I appreciate the work that goes into that and it turned out beautiful.
Bravo…a room well deserved for a standing ovation….I love every detail and all of the creative projects that you are so known for…exquisite room…I loved following you on your journey of turning the room into a great masterpiece…magnificent job Pam!!!
So many clever and stylish ideas Pam! Rio photo is great! My favorites…the hotel photograph with stool, the bedskirt, the dresser, the industrial reading lights and the blinds. Enjoy the new look and relax in your new bedroom, you deserve it!
You must be loving your new bedroom- what an fun transformation! I love what you did with the mirrors- genius!! Well done Pam!
Pam I am always so impressed with your style and panache! A great room. I am also showing to my DIL who has a bau that needs window treatment and I told her to go up to the ceiling, (visualizing always helps!

WOW. What an incredible transformation!! I'm still just AMAZED by your IKEA hack, You're so talented, Pam! I know you're thrilled with your bedroom!!! Beautiful job!
You must be thrilled with your room. I think the walls are my favorite part. I must thank you because you were my gateway to the ORC (which is all new to me). I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your posts each week and the links to all of the other participants. Well done.
BRAVO! Amazing job! The stencil walls kill me!!!! Fabulous!
Yes!!! Not sure which elements I love more. Let's start with that headboard and the pillow combos (both seasons) and go from there, m'kay?! I worship me a good IKEA hack and that faux ostrich situation is right up my alley. Yes, again!
So elegant and glam! You did such a great job!
You win the prize! Love the juxtaposition of the lamp and stenciled walls with the ornate bed, not to mention the subtle color scheme! Love it!

Girl, you are good! The layering of textures and tonal colors is perfection! Greek key on standard pillows is brilliant. Nice job!
Stunning room, I love the color pallet. That rast hack is the best one I've seen yet! Great job!!

I'm here via Better After. This room blows me away with how nuanced and sophisticated it is. You have a genuine talent.
That wall is STUNNING but I couldn't take my eyes off the headboard. What a luxurious, beautiful space. I found my way here from somewhere else . . . Better After maybe? So excited to tour around some more.
