A Budget Bedroom Makeover for The Nest

While we still have our toes in the sand, here's a bedroom makeover I did for a super fun couple in Dobb's Ferry, New York, published in The Nest.   

For now, I'll let you read all about it in the magazine.  

Just click twice to enlarge.

On Friday, I'll show you everything that went on behind the scenes, including a whirlwind trip through a junk shop in New Jersey, where we found the most incredible furniture to transform!

One of the things I love about your talent is that you constantly surprise. Bravo on this one!!! Love the pops of red and canary yellow. So chic.

I came across your post this afternoon while browsing interior design blogs and the topic of window treatment selection was very interesting to me. It is true that you must dress your windows appropriately to bring out their true beauty. Thank you for writing and as a special thanks to you and your readers, I would like to offer a 20% off coupon using this code upon checkout: BLG20.

Love it! I was flipping through this magazine at Target a few weeks ago and saw you in it and immediately bought it. The room turned out great

[Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi]

Great job, as always. Love the punches of red!

[Melissa]

SO fantastic, ya'll! I love the lamps-- found the same ones in white for $3 for the pair last week! Enjoy your vacay.

Eddie, wow-gorgeous. Love the color play and perfectly appointed accessories!

[Charlotta]

How gorgeous! Fresh, sexy, modern and inviting. All at one time.
Loving the red detail - such a fun boost of energy.

Thanks for your comments.
Debra and I will be launching Marija's site soon. Had a chat to Cory about it and he gave me his blessing. He's a remarkable and amazing person. I'll announce the launch via the blog, however am sure Debra will tell you about it before that. Thanks for wanting to contribute.

[Kim@Chattafabulous]

[Rachel]

It turned out great! I love that red chandelier!!

[Piper]

I had to tell you that I loved what you did for that room...and btw, thanks, because I'm now obsessed with the yellow lamps!!!

[diane]

Those mirrored nesting tables are to die for (as my mother used to say). What a great way to salvage one of my favorite pieces of furniture--nesting tables.

[jen fitch]

i went to highschool in dobbs ferry! isn't it cute?

[Lane]

Love that bedside table! Such a good idea. I will make one myself soon!

[Kate]

What is the name of the junk shop? I live in NJ and am always looking for sources! Please share? :-)

[Jennifer]

What a beautiful (and minimalistic) makeover! I love the punches of color in the otherwise neutral room. The red chandelier is my favorite touch! The rooms looks great!

xoxo

[AnnieM]

Love this! Need to go get the magazine :)

[Wendy]

Beautiful! Simple. Classic with a punch! LOVE IT! -Wendy

[Joanna]

You mentioned getting the headboard at a junk shop. What is a junkshop? I would love to know and how to find one in my town. What to ask or look for.

love the posts.. cheers! Joanna

[Victoria Kageni]

I shall proceed to revamp my nest as a result of this.Awesome! Inspiring & beautiful!

[Virginia]

oops! "on" my way! ...was so excited I typed too quickly. :)

[Virginia]

...no my way to the store for a copy so I can devour those pages in person! Nobody does it like Eddie.

[Wendy]

This room, to quote Rachel Zoe, is banana's!

[Mona Thompson]

Looking good. It will be fun to see the behind the scenes work.

[My Notting Hill]

Love the makeover. Happened to notice what you did to the horse painting - I would have walked right past that. Glad to see you're coming to the DC Flea. Thanks for the mention. Michele

[pretty pink tulips]

Brilliant Budget Re-do!!!! I am in love with the horse print over the bed. Can't believe you found it at a junk store --- can't wait to hear about the behind the scenes!

xoxo Elizabeth

[Therese Long]

[Gramercy Home]

Looks so great. Can't wait to read all about the details!

[Darci]

I am already seeing some great ideas just from the photo. FYI, I loved the bench you redid in a recent post. Drooled to be exact. I thought I would never find one of those. I was having a yardsale Saturday and a man who owns some storage units came by and said He had two units and I could have the contents if I was interested. FOR FREE!! The first one I opened there was a 2 seater bench like the 4 seater you had. Bingo. I am going to do a makeover similar to yours and post on my blog and telling everyone where the idea came from. If I had not seen that post, I would have looked right past that bench. Thank you!!!

[Rachael @ Mrs-Adventure]

Wow I love it, but what's new your awesome :+)

[Dawn]

Nice! I'm in the beginning stages of our bedroom redo, so thanks for the inspiration.

[LindsB]

Total hotness, what a lucky couple to get a bedroom done by you guys!!

[Design Esquire]

Fantastic! I love reading where you find things and how you put it all together. You guys are the best.

[Jessica at Lavender and Lilies]

I love the lamps!

[Sandra @ DebutanteClothing]

I absolutely love this room. I adore your style Eddie. I am a vintage fanatic, but don't necessarily like entire rooms done in one period. This is the perfect blend of masculine, feminine, vintage and modern. Dream bedroom. You inspire me so much.

[katie@Impatientlyprayingforpatience]

Perfect! I love that you spray painted the crystals!

[lizziefitz]

So Tailored and Chic! I love it! Now I just need to go find a set of nesting tables to paint:)

[Paloma {La Dolce Vita}]

Eddie, it looks fantastic! I love the color palette, so crisp and modern. Fabulous job as always, my dear! xo

[robyn]

I HAVE to find that Magazine! So excited about your article in it!

[Gretchen O]

What an awesome spread! Once again, you have shown people that you don't have to have a lot of $$ to have a tasteful beautiful space!--gretchen O

[Kathysue]

E & J, This looks amazing and how fun for a young couple. You can take any room and make it chic, I am convinced!! Loved the nesting tables and the headboard is a great idea and so doable for any homeowner. You need a show, HGTV needs you!!! We need YOU!! xoxo Kathysue

[Ashleigh Clark- Live, Laugh, & Love Design]

LOVE what you did with the chandelier and table lamps!

[a perfect gray]

the red chandelier is just the touch...

[Kate]

I'm not usually a fan of red -- but this is just a perfect splash of it. Looks great!

[alison@ semi-fab lane]

another great makeover! i love seeing all the details behind your work, can't wait!!

[Will]

Can't wait for the behind the scenes sneak peek; looks great from the mag!

[Belle on Heels]
