Anyway, since we're prepping the house for potential buyers, today we're venturing for the first time into...our bedroom!
DUN DUN DUN
You may be wondering why you haven't seen our bedroom on the blog yet - well, folks, that's mainly because it's the one room of our house that typically isn't on permanent display, so it can get rather messy. Trying to keep a house clean with a toddler is like trying to prevent a puppy from eating every pair of shoes you own. So, in an effort to keep the rest of the house somewhat tidy, our bedroom was often left in a perma-messy state.
Since there will be prospective buyers tromping through the house soon, we figured it was about time to spruce it up a bit. I've been debating how to decorate it - did I want it to be tranquil? Exciting? Crazy? Traditional?
In the end, I wanted a mix of tranquil with a splash of our personality (so, that would be quirky) - plus, I need it to be on the inexpensive side, since we're saving every penny we can for our down payment sometime early next year.
I'm thinking about either a gallery wall (we have a TON of wall space above the dresser on the other side of the room) or an eclectic mix of art related to some of our favorite music/movies (i.e., Queen, Van Halen, AC/DC, Star Wars, etc. - by the way, has anyone seen the new Star Wars teaser trailer?! Have to admit seeing the Falcon fly again was pretty heart-stopping!). Here are some that I found online that I'm thinking about:
Led Zeppelin "All of my love" Poster, Etsy (via SouthernSassArt), $12+ (depending on size)
Queen Poster, Etsy (via Posteritty), $13+ (depending on size)
Star Wars Rebel "Hope" Poster, Etsy (via tkbdesigns), $19+ (depending on size)
Star Wars Han and Leia "I love you/I know" Poster, Etsy (via CreativeSpectator), $21+ (depending on size)
Any other ideas/thoughts on how to spruce up a bedroom with quasi-personalized flair on a budget?
