Dressing Room Reveal

Let me just say that this poor room has had three transformations

since we moved in a year ago in July:)  What can I say I like

change!   It is kind of an odd room and really wasn't even supposed to

be a room, the couple we bought the house from decided to close in the space

instead of having a balcony because when they built the house their

children were small and they saw it as a safety hazard.  It actually turned

out to be a cute room!  Below are a couple pictures of this space when it

was my craft/scrapbook room.  It really was a nice craft space but it did

feel a little cramped when I was working on a large project.  I like to have

room to spread out and since we have another room in our house that

wasn't being used I moved all of this stuff into that space!

 

 

 

Before I show the pictures of the finished space I will start with

the furniture I have in there.  I got this chest at a garage sale for $25

but it definitely needed some work but I thought it would work well for

a window seat in the dressing room along with extra storage!

 

 

I had a garage sale a couple of months ago and took all of the money I

made from that sale and bought this vanity.  It did come with the mirror

and stool/seat.   The knobs and the seat cushion were not to my liking

so I changed them out.  This was one of my easier projects :)



 

Here is a before picture of the seat before I covered it.  All I did

was purchase a yard of material from Hobby Lobby for 40% and then staple

it to the bottom of the seat and then re-attach the legs.

 

 

Now onto the fun stuff...............how the room looks now!

It is hard to take a whole picture of the space because of how

tiny it is.  I believe it is 6 feet wide by 9 feet long to give you a better idea.

 

 

Here is nice picture of the recovered seat along with the new hardware.

 



 

Every space needs a little bit of fun decor!

 

 

Over in this corner is "Shirley" my mannequin which was probably

my favorite garage sale find ever!  I got her from a lady that use to live close

to us in Pennsylvania and she was a steal for only $8!!! 

I use her a lot whenI  am coming up with outfit ideas because I can see how it looks the night

before and all I have to do is come in here in the morning and get ready to go!

 

On this wall I have a full length mirror.

 

As you come in the door to the right I have my jewelry display.

This was also a DIY project that I did to make this room function better

and keep my jewelry from being a tangled mess!!

 Since the room is so small I tried to utilize every inch!

On the back of the door I have my scarves organized with a shoe organizer

and on the top of the over the door hanger I store my belts.

 



 

Well thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you have enjoyed this post and maybe it has even

given you an idea to create a similar space in your home or utilize

a small space to its full potential!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!
