Fixer Upper Style Master Bedroom Reveal

October 12, 2017 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

I am so excited to finally reveal our newly updated Master Bedroom.  This has been months in the making!  I shared bits and pieces of the progress a few months back here and here but today I am sharing a quick video…my first ever!

One of our goals for 2017, which I shared here, was to add hardwood floors upstairs. Well, we finally did it.  The floors were installed in early September and last week the final paint touch ups were completed.  I am so happy we made the move from carpeting upstairs to wood floors.   I liked having the carpet when the boys were little and we didn’t have a puppy running around  but I absolutely love the wood floors!  Enjoy my first video and we will chat about the details after!

I am loving the transformation.  The hardwood floors make all the difference in the world!  We matched them with the downstairs  flooring which is a 5 inch hand scraped hickory. The hickory is a very warm tone which keep the wood from appearing too cold.

Here’s a quick rundown of everything we did.

  • added hardwood
  • built a shelf using a 2×10 stained to match vintage chest at foot of the bed.  Shelf is attached using Simpson Strong Ties from Home Depot which I sprayed black
  • new gun-metal bed found at a local consignment shop
  • painted dresser, night stands, mirrors and lamps with Amy Howard One Step Paint
  • added an area rug from IKEA
  • hung wall sconces from Wayfair

I got the idea of the shelf above the bed from an episode of… you guessed it …The Fixer Upper.  It was the on season 4 episode 16.  As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to do my version of it above our bed.  Such an easy projects with a big impact.  I did something similar in the sitting room.

The area rug is from IKEA.  This is actually two area rug that I placed together.  I used the recommended rug pad from IKEA which feels a bit tacky/sticky and it keeps the two rugs together and stays in place.

I shared the sitting room before but I wanted you to see the difference the hard wood makes in here.  EEK, I LOVE IT! The chairs are the same ones I bought when I was pregnant with my first boys.  I had them reupholstered.  They are in fantastic shape and are super comfy.  I added the same IKEA rug in here to help keep the two room cohesive. I also added the ottoman from IKEA ektorp series. You can see a small stand on the fireplace hearth…a GoodWill find.  This is kind of  totally my space!

GoodWill credenza and DIY Shelving

I love this credenza I bought from Goodwill for $40.  I gave it a quick coat of paint and added my DIY shelves above it.  Almost everything on the shelves are treasures I found at Goodwill.

I hope you enjoyed my Master Bedroom Reveal and my first ever video.

Until Next Time,

A Quick Review of Amy Howard At Home Paint

July 1, 2017 By stylishrevamp 3 Comments

A few months back, my husband went out-of-town on a quick golf trip.  I knew my time was limited and I had to hustle to complete the master bedroom revamp before he returned from his trip.  The quickest way to revamp any space is with paint. So today I am sharing a quick review on Amy Howard At Home Paint.  Hint, hint, I love it!

A quick review of Amy Howard at home paint

When my husband left for his golf trip, I knew I had exactly 4 days to paint 6 pieces of furniture, put together a new to us bed, build and install a shelf and put the room back together. I thought the easiest way to get this done was to use chalk paint but the store that sells Annie Sloan chalk paint near me was not open and I knew time was of the essence here.  Sometimes I will make my own chalk paint so I headed to Ace Hardware to pick out some paint colors when I stumbled upon the Amy Howard At Home One Step Paint.  At first I thought, should I even attempt something new when I had very little time to pull this together, what if it was difficult to use? Oh, but they had the perfect color, exactly what I was looking for a perfect grey called Atelier and of course the basic black. I picked up the sample size pots of these two colors. I thought if it’s hard to work with, I can use it for painting accessory pieces and just make my own tried and true chalk paint.

The first piece I started with was my nightstand.  I wanted to paint it black.  I set the small jar of paint upside down (the sales associate told me to do this) in my sink while I cleaned my nightstand. I was painting all of this furniture in my bedroom because there was no way I could move all of the furniture downstairs into the garage and back up by myself.  Surprisingly, I did not even notice any odor to the paint.  Once the furniture was clean and completely dry, I started painting and was shocked! It was super smooth and creamy and absolutely the easiest paint to work with…ever!  From start to finish it took less than 30 minutes to do the entire piece. It really is just that easy.  One step does not necessarily mean one coat, however that was the case with the black paint.

A Quick Review of Amy Howard At Home Paint

The coverage was amazing. I did notice that the black required only one coat whereas the Atelier required two and I wiped some of the paint off so I could see the original stain peeking through. Once I realized how easy the Amy Howard at Home Paint was to use, I was ecstatic! I knew I would be able to paint all of the furniture and pull my vision together in time to surprise my husband.  Do you like how I said surprise him? Yes, well I knew if he were here he would probably freak that I was painting the bedroom furniture.  I have never liked the stain on the furniture. It looked too orange to me but when we bought it I was days away from giving birth to our firstborn and it was the only furniture that could be delivered on time before the baby arrived and I was nesting and just needed it done. So yes, it was a surprise to him but sometimes it’s easier to not let him see the messy in between a project!

After the nightstand was done in such a short period of time, I celebrated with a cup of coffee and planned my next piece of furniture to paint. I moved on to the Secretary Desk and chair.  I knew the desk was going to be a bit more time-consuming due to all the detailed pieces.

I painted the desk in the Atelier and the chair in the basic black. I even had time to recover the seat cushion. I decided to leave the interior of the desk alone.  The paint tone down the stain color and I like the juxtaposition of the grey paint against the stain.

I also painted an armoire with the basic black and a few mirrors.  I did all of this with the small sample pot of paint and I still have some paint leftover for future projects.

Revamping Your Space with Amy Howard Paint

I think my favorite piece I painted was my dresser. I was back and forth on the color choice and ultimately chose the Atelier.  I am so happy with this choice.  I decided to leave the mirror with the original stain and I am glad I did.

Review of Amy Howard Paint

I buffed some of the paint off so the stain is popping through. This piece was the last one I painted and once it was done, I started waxing all the pieces with the Amy Howard Wax.  Again it was a very easy product to work with as well.  If you haven’t tried this paint, you really should.  I was able to paint all these pieces ( armoire,  dresser, two mirrors, chair and a desk) with two small sample jars of paint and I still have paint left over in each jar.

Here’s a picture of the chaos I create when I am working…Painting my Goodwill Find and this…

I am happy to say that I was able to complete the entire room in three and a half days! I think this was in large part to ease of the  Amy Howard One Step Paint!

FYI, my husband was happy with the transformation, yes, happy and surprised! I know I am not the only one that creates chaos when their spouse is out-of-town, share your adventures in the comments!

Home Tour on the Island- Master Bedroom

April 7, 2015 By stylishrevamp 4 Comments

Tonight I am sharing our Master Bedroom on the Island Home.  This part of the home, including the attic lounge area, is not original to the house. I believe these rooms were added about 14 years ago. When the previous owners added the extra space, it created two Master Bedroom areas.
