Brooke was ready for a big-girl bedroom. As a married mother of three, it was a smidge overdue. Her friends Shelley and Camille jumped at the chance to help her with the makeover and started a Pinterest board for Brooke to start collecting ideas.
Soon they had a vision in place, but then … Brooke’s husband made a single demand: the waterbed stays. Yipes!
But Shelley was undeterred and figured she could modify it to look like a sleek platform bed. She stained the wood a deep espresso and flipped the headboard around! Who would have thought?! Not me!
They also ditched the exercise corner and droopy valences for a cute little sitting area with lots of sweet details. Doesn’t it remind you of Carl and Ellie from Up? Take the whole tour on Shelley’s blog Custom Slipcovers by Shelley.
