If you’ve been following along (or know anything about me), you know my bedroom is my happy place. 90 percent of my business is run out of this room, so you can bet I put some serious time into picking a mattress, sleeping pillows, sheets, and duvet insert. But honestly, that’s where my effort on my room was left.
I think these before pictures of my room makes that pretty dang clear.
Being in this industry, I would find myself admiring the bedroom shoots of other bloggers. As soon as I’d get the motivation to really make my bedroom space my own, I’d get so overwhelmed that I’d just kind of stop.
A few weeks ago, the lovely mom bosses of North & Madison interior design, Jess & Robin, reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in their help re-doing a room in my house.They told me they’d be able to work with-in my budget (it’s not much) AND I wouldn’t have to do any of the work. I was sold.
Jess and I communicated prior to our first meeting. I sent her a few photos of my bedroom and she asked me what vibe I was looking for. To be honest, I had absolutely no idea! I had a few thoughts about what aesthetics I was drawn to, but beyond that, I really didn’t have much of an idea. With-in a short, 5 minute conversation, Jess assured me she had it covered.
At our first (and only) design meeting, she brought me 4 bedroom design options (all of which were AMAZING). I still didn’t know which one to pick, so I kept putting it off for weeks. I’m really THAT indecisive. Thankfully, Jess and Robin weren’t giving up on me. Their encouraging e-mails and texts kept my head in the game and finally, I came to a decision…
YOU PICK AND DO IT ALL WHEN I’M IN ISRAEL!
Yes, you heard me right. I wanted absolutely no part in designing this room. Mostly because my connection with Jess & Robin was immediate and I trusted them completely. I had spent 2 years in this room and couldn’t even go as far as picking a new bedspread. I just figured I’d leave it up to the experts and not look until they were all done.
So off I went on my trip and the room redo commenced.
I truly wondered how they would create this entire room for less than $3,000 (my budget). I thought painting alone would take up 25%! Luckily, Robin & Jess work with this INCREDIBLE handy company called, Budget Right Handyman and they painted my wall and hung up this hanging chair for such a reasonable amount. They even offered to do 2 hours of work for just $99 for all of YOU! Just mention me when you call to book!
This hanging chair was no easy feat. From what I’ve been told, they actually had to cut a piece of my ceiling to make sure it stayed reinforced. Thank GOD I wasn’t here to see this. I’d die.
Believe it or not the ENTIRE process; meaning clearing out of my old stuff, painting, hanging the chair, and redecorating, took less than two days. In that time they revamped my dull room that was nothing more than basically a bed and turned into my perfect bohemian glam oasis.
I’m not exaggerating when I say I walked into my new room and almost burst into tears. It was absolutely everything I could’ve dreamed of and so much more. Not only did the ladies of North & Madison capture the vision I couldn’t put into words, but they kept everything budget friendly. They shopped at all the stores I love to browse (but never know quite how to incorporate into my decor). Every detail was perfectly and carefully executed down to the Date Night In book they placed atop the footstool.
I got so many questions about where everything was purchased from, so see below for every single detail. Nothing here is priced too high and I’m so excited for you guys to be able to re-create this for yourself!
It blows my mind that in just two days for less than $3,000 they transformed my bedroom. If you’ve been unhappy with your home decor don’t wait on it anymore, the girls at North & Madison will absolutely hook you up with a dream space. Plus, you’ll end up with some pretty rad mom boss friends in your life.
