      My full size mattress is about twenty years old, I bought it at a store where they make their own. After ten years, put a memory foam pad on it. A good mattress lasts forever! Also, the salesman made sure I bought their box spring as well, he said it was the best box spring ever. He wasn't upselling me, it was very good advice!

      @AccordingtoNicole If I may - I also go heavy on the greys and neutrals for paint/furniture. Adding color via artwork is an excellent way to add contrast. Thrift stores can be a good source of cheap originals btw.

    Very nicely done. A ceiling fan would be functional and energy-efficient, so maybe consider it instead of just a light fixture. Whatever you decide, good luck.

    • @mariohigdon
      @mariohigdon День назад +1

      Recently I've been thinking about ceiling fans being a burden as a landlord so a recent remodel I took out the ceiling fans that were droopy instead of replacing them I put up a nice LED then I bought $45 wall fans that do the same thing as a ceiling fan but after a year or two and they start looking dingy I can toss them out and easily replace them with a fresh fan for a lot cheaper

    1: you could talk to caroline winkler about decorating. caroline is on youtube. 2: i would suggest a 3-light ceiling fan. a ceiling fan so that you can push the warmer air downward. i have heard that hunter is a good brand. 3: i would suggest some kind of themed rug. like a beach theme, mountain theme,, sunrise/sunset theme etc. but not anything tacky obviously.

    I've painted A LOT of rooms over the years and I always tape EVERYTHING. Call me a perfectionist, but when I see a sloppy jagged line where the wall meets the ceiling at someone's house, I WANT TO SCREAM and start repainting for them!
    FrogTape is the best invention to keep me from losing my mind (waaay better than standard green painter's tape).
    Great video BTW and the room is terrific!

    In terms of art, something abstract would look great on that dark wall in the bedroom. I would go for something that includes some red or orange to give a little warmth and contrast to all the grey. I like the dresser.

    My sister convinced me to make over most of my house. It was very plain Jane and drab. I don’t have a decorator’s eye so I went with her suggestions and of course it looked much better and felt more like a home. One surprising improvement was that my house has much better acoustics. I loved your paint schemes in your bedroom.

  • @JeffreyHowell
    @JeffreyHowell День назад +2

    I love it. Looks very nice and I think you made the right choice with the upholstered bed frame. Sometimes buying furniture sets end up looking too matchy-matchy. As for your light above your bed...have you thought of putting in a ceiling fan with a light? Might be a good choice since you're on the upper level and heat rises. A good way to circulate the air. I also think your window is craving some kind of dark grey, black-out drapes, etc. Nice job though!

  • @koorbmeh
    @koorbmeh 2 дня назад +6

    I like the upholstered bed frames, so that when you bang your shins on them, it doesn't do quite as much damage, and similarly, the upholstered headboard so that it doesn't hurt you when you knock your knuckles on it. I think that spending some money on a bed, not trying to be as frugal as possible, is a great idea, because we spend soo much of our time in bed.

  • @lakerskid2013
    @lakerskid2013 День назад +3

    You did a great job Nicole. I think you can be minimalist and still find ways to make things look good, it’s very well possible.
    Although my new dresser is smaller than the one I owned for 4 years, I like the way things turned out. While one part was a downgrade in terms of less room for bigger clothing I did get an upgrade with more room for smaller clothing and other items while also gaining more space for gaming consoles when I complete my PlayStation console collection. The dresser I got comes with an LED light, 2 outlets, 2 USB ports, and one USB-C port. All of this I bought for $140 off of Amazon.

    For the rug, I would use some free shaped, not rectangular, like maybe cowhide from IKEA.

    Or artificial, sometimes Costco or Whole Market have them.

    --I taped the ceiling but before that, I taped the walls and painted the ceiling.
    --I have been doing this soft of stuff for a while and one coat never quite gets it even when not making a large color change.
    --Dressers are a place where buying quality is worth it. My dresser is older than you are and still looks new.
    --When changing lighting, putting in a dimmer is a good idea. Dimmable LED bulbs are a nice thing, The WIFi bulbs come with a remote you always lose or an APP that needs you to use you phone. A dinner in place of the switch is always where it needs to be.

    Pam here….our bedroom unusually large odd size and no rug worked. We went to a carpet store and found a REMNANT and they cut it to the size we needed and then they used a machine to finish the raw edges. OMG we got such a great deal! The remnants were on clearance and the edging was priced so much per linear foot. Could never have found a premad rug for our space that would have worked.

    Cobalt blue woven or very low pile rug, in wool if possible. Since you like blue (tissue box & dog bed) or spring green, coordinates with plants but is bright and contrasts well with grays and wood tones. My advice is take pictures of the floor, dresser, and bed and a color swatch of your paint and take these when looking for a rug. You can hold them up to the rug to see if it looks good with it. You could also go look at carpet and buy a piece with the color and texture you like and have it bound.

    My room is very much like yours but I added a tapestry that I like to look at before I go to bed. I know that's silly and I know it's simple but I just like it like that. If I add anything else to that room it just adds clutter and anxiety.
