A Feminine and Budget-Friendly Bedroom

Hi friends and readers of At Home In Love! I'm Michaela-- a fellow lover of the pretty, interior design, fashion, tasty recipes and beautiful occasions.  I'm so excited to be here while Aileen is on a fun trip! As a recent college graduate with my Bachelor's degree in interior design, it's my passion to help people create homes the genuinely love.  Today I'm here sharing my favorite space with you, as well as a few decorating tips.

Last summer I redid my bedroom in a light mint/seafoam color, with accents of white, peach and hot pink. It's fresh, feminine, and has a touch of shabby chic; just my style. I was on a tight budget, so I did a few things to keep my wallet in check.

Michaela's feminine and budget-friendly bedroom

1. I created the abstract art myself by getting creative {and a little messy} with some pretty hues of pink and mint.

2. Instead of sewing the curtain panels entirely out of the beautiful patterned fabric you see at the bottom of the panel, I saved money by only using 18" of this fabric, paired with an inexpensive, simple cotton drape from West Elm.

3. I found that white dresser at Goodwill for $70 and redid it so it fit with my style {and budget!}

Hopefully these tips will help you when you design the next room in your home.  For my whole room source list, you can visit this post here.  What is your favorite spot in your home? 

Thanks Aileen for having me today!

    Oh my goodness! This is dreamy! I LOVE the seafoam color! I've been wanting to paint my living room this color but I decided against it since I would have to paint it back once I moved out of my apartment :( But when I look at your beautiful room, I start to think about it all over again. Great joB!

    Furniture not only enhances the functionality and beauty of a space but also contributes to its ambiance and mood. The arrangement of furniture can create intimate conversation areas, open gathering spaces, or cozy reading nooks, shaping the way we interact with our environment.
