I will show you how to update your furniture without using paint.
Updated Furniture - So Much Better With Age

Recently I shared with you my master bedroom. I’m not crazy about my bedroom furniture. I love my new bed but not too crazy about the dressers. Does that happen to you? You get tired of furniture?

I often think of painting them but wanted to try something different first. So today I am going to show you how I easily updated my bedroom furniture (that doesn’t involve paint!)

Here is a photo that I showed you recently of my master bedroom. LOVE my bed frame.

And here’s a photo of one of the dressers. I added glass knobs to the top drawers a long time and the rest are just wooden knobs.

Ho hum.

We just renovated our kitchen so we no longer need these glass knobs but I still love them.

And here they are on the bedroom furniture. Instant update!

It just adds a touch of sparkle to the room now and I think I can live with the dressers now.

Such a simple change make a world of difference.

I also found these beautiful hand carved candles from a local store near my home. They are made in Bali.

    Love that touch of sparkle. We have similar pulls on one of our antique dressers. So smart to repurpose your kitchen ones (dying to see that reno)!

    I love your bedroom! Im also obsessed with glass knobs yet I have none in my house, I pine after them on pinterest often though. Ive been trying to figure out what I can do to the wall my bed is against because it feels like it is missing something. I was thinking mirrors or artwork above the bed but I love your wallpaper. Im pretty certain my partner wouldn’t let me wallpaper a wall though 🙁

      Melanie, that isn’t wallpaper! I stencilled my wall!! Here’s the link to check it out: https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2013/10/bee-utiful-stencilled-wall/

      I know what you mean about wallpaper. I’ve spent way too many hours taking wallpaper off to even think about putting it up!
      Thanks for stopping by.
      Hugs,
      Jamie

    You’re right. That’s just what was needed. I adore crystal or cut glass knobs on furniture too. Very pretty indeed 🙂

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home. Link is in stories and in highlights.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved. Swipe to see the back of the pillow (chair photo) ➡️ Check stories for the direct blog link and I’ll save it in highlights in my profile.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
