Dressing room makeover for less than $100

February 5, 2019

Yes, I have a “dressing room” at home, which is basically a spare bedroom turned into where I get … dressed. It includes a vanity desk, a clothing rack, a wall cabinet that I use to display my shoes and purses, and a floor length mirror.

This room has a lot of potential to be super amazing and Instagramable. I liked it fine for try-on sessions and mirror selfies. But thought it could look a little better. So I decided to dress up the “dressing room” a little bit. See below for some BEFORE photos.

So I decided to add this wallpaper to make this an accent wall. The wall is background for my clothing rack, vanity desk and drawers. Applying the wallpaper was super easy. Here are some PROGRESS photos:

  • Halfway done!
  • Halfway!
  • The whole wall is DONE!

And now, TADA! After I added a wallpaper, re-arranged a few things. This room looks so much better now. I know it’s a little too Valentine’s Day themed right now, because we are in the month of LOVE. But the little decor items can be switched out easily. Let’s look at some AFTER photos below.

It’s amazing what an accent wall could do to a room. And the total cost for the wallpaper (plus a squeeze gee applicator) was about $85. The wallpaper was on sale for about $25/roll and I needed 3 rolls. So in summary, this is what I needed:.

  • Cost: ~$85.
  • Time: half a day.
  • Humans needed: 1 woman.

I’m amazed at how this wallpaper turned out. I maybe a little too obsessed and may start wallpapering the rest of the house now (just you watch and see). It’s so so easy and I didn’t need help from another person. Obviously, if you have help from someone else, it would be easier. But I did this by myself without any trouble. If you’re thinking of transforming your room, I highly recommend adding an accent wall with some fun pattern.

Quick tip for beginners: I quickly noticed I luckily picked a pattern that is more forgiving. Meaning it doesn’t matter much how I align the next strip of wallpaper. Other patterns may require more precise alignment of the strips. So if you’re a beginner, pick an easier pattern to start!

So what did you think of the newly added accent wall to my dressing room? Would you consider adding wallpaper to your space? Let me know in the comments below! I would love to see your room too if you transformed your space with wallpaper.

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.

It has been the best experience with recovery and breastfeeding I’ve had between the 2 children. And we can’t get enough of Mr. Colt’s smiles and snuggles 🧸.
