How We Did a Bedroom Makeover on a Budget WITHOUT Painting

Bedrooms are one of those rooms that are easy to overlook.

For some, they may just be for sleeping.

For others, they may be the place they curl up and watch tv or read a book at night.

For many, they might be the place all the “junk” seems to get thrown into when guests come over to visit.

But when you think about how many hours you spend in your bedroom (probably more than any other room in the house) – they really deserve to be more of a sanctuary.

Our bedroom was in need of a revamp. The colours were a little bit all over the place, the bed frame had been fixed a few times, there were messy cables all over the place – and don’t even get me started on the pile of shoes under the bed.

We returned home from our trip to Hawaii where we’d stayed in tidy hotel rooms and apartments and I decided enough was enough. It was time for an overhaul.

But after just repainting and renovating my future office and going through all of the time (and money) that took, I knew I needed to do it without picking up a single paint brush.

Whilst we only made a few changes, it made a huge difference – and I thought I’d share what we did with you to give you a little bit of bedroom makeover inspiration too.

So let me share how we revamped our bedroom without painting a single thing! >>

An HONEST Review of Koala Mattresses (and Unboxing Video!)

Jesse has been complaining about our mattress for such a long time. I’d been putting off buying a new one for ages and ages – but then I saw an ad for Koala and I was totally intrigued.

A mattress than comes vacuum sealed? In a tiny box? With NO SPRINGS?!

And a mattress that's a FRACTION of the price of the ones you'll find in stores?!

Surely that couldn’t be comfortable or great quality… right?

When Koala asked me if I’d like to try out one of their mattresses, I jumped at the opportunity. I thought it would be the perfect way to shut Jesse up and either to find a new mattress – or prove our old one really wasn’t that bad.

Was I convinced about how good the Koala mattress would be? Not really.

Sure, they had lots of glowing reviews – but were they real? Could I trust them?

I didn’t know anyone with a Koala mattress, so I remained sceptical; deciding I'd make up my mind once ours arrived.

So let me tell you (and show you!) what we really thought! >>
