STOP PINNING. START DOING.
While on vacation, I saw some super rad headboards painted on the wall. They were amazing, and I just knew I wanted to recreate something similar in my own house. So for Colton’s 13th birthday, I gave him a super fun boy’s bedroom makeover. And it provided the perfect opportunity to create a DIY-painted headboard wall that I was dying to make!
Bedrooms are where dreams are made, fun happens, plans are plotted, and peace is felt. Is your bedroom full of all of these things? If your bedroom isn’t giving you those vibes, it is time to change things up so that you can have your own place of wonder. I love refreshing bedrooms! I’ve done girl rooms, boy rooms, master bedrooms, you name it. Here’s my list of the best DIY projects for any bedroom.
Refreshing your walls is a great idea if you are looking to make a statement. Or, even if you aren’t looking to make a statement, refreshing your walls is a great option for creating some change in your space. There are so many techniques and textures to choose from: paint, skim coating, wallpaper, etc. But, I have to say that creating a wood-trimmed accent wall is my favorite way to refresh a wall. There is just something about working with wood that gives me life. That’s why I want to share 3 ways to make unique accent walls with wood trim so that you can breathe some new life into your space.
I finally finished my son Blake’s bedroom makeover and I’m so happy I could cry! At the start of 2022, this room was just a vision in my head and it’s been so amazing to make it come to life.

I’m so proud of this DIY cloud-inspired boy’s bedroom makeover. and I’m proud of myself for making my dreams a reality.
If you’re wanting to start your own DIY projects, do it! It will change your life! And beginning with a project like DIYing each piece in a bedroom is a great place to start. This project took me 4 months to finish and I was able to take my time with each part of the room and really get creative. And now each shelf, light fixture, and DIYed door have so much more meaning to me because I built them! Let me show you what I did.
I decided to take my old gold mirror closet door and upgrade it! Because life is too short to not love your closet doors, right? Right! Recently I shared with you how I DIYed my son’s closet shelves, but you know I couldn’t stop there. The old gold mirror style door was almost 25 years old and was killing the whole vibe of his room. And instead of spending the money to buy an entirely new door, I DIYed this one for only $20! Plus it’s a super easy DIY project for beginners. Which makes this $20 DIY closet mirror door makeover easy, beautiful, and affordable! I know you’re going to love it, let’s get started!

And guess what? I nailed all three with this $200 closet makeover! Check out my hacks below.
Whenever I start a new project I always like to draw it up to help me visualize things first. Although I have a pretty good idea of how I want a space to feel, I might not have all the decisions made. That’s just part of the DIY process. In the room makeover I did for my son, I had been thinking about adding a slat wall but was still undecided. It wasn’t until after putting a wallpaper mural on all four walls (and finishing some other things up in the room) I decided a slat wall was the right move. Yes, this meant covering up some pretty wallpaper, but not a lot. If that makes you sad, just wait. The end result was worth it! Here’s a step-by-step on how I made this modern slat wall design, so you can replicate it in your space.
Sure you can go out and buy a bed frame, but making your own DIY trundle bed is way more fun! Right? At least I think so.

Let me share how I built my son’s trundle bed so you can repeat this project in your space.
