Well, we are finally at the AFTER, after all of it this time. I shared the painted 70’s style arch last week, and now I’m back with the full room reveal!

I really thought I might not be able to finish this room, with Covid-19 quarantine. I found it hard to source items to finish this space that way I really wanted to. It turns out, I am not a great online shopper. I like to see and touch things in person. While I didn’t love all the accessories I found online, I did make one really good decision and that was Dylan’s new bed and night stand. Both pieces are from Article and I am so impressed with the quality and design. We chose the Lenia Walnut Queen Bed and the Equa Side Table in Black. These two pieces were the only new additions to the space. The desk and credenza are both midcentury pieces I bought at yard sales over the years and the black high boy dresser is a piece that was my Grandma’s. I knew we wanted to keep those furniture pieces, but the bunk beds had to go! I was on the hunt for a bed and nightstand that would work seamlessly with the midcentury shapes I love so much. I also wanted to make sure that the new pieces felt timeless (because eventually this room will become our guest room), yet still young and masculine for a 16 year old boy.

Dylan’s room is very spacious, so he has room for a desk/homework area and even a mini living room of his own. And because we just have a formal living room, Dyl’s room also serves as the “family room” or at least the room all our kids hang out it to watch a movie or play video games. It’s funny how different this room looks, and really almost every piece of furniture is in exactly the same place, even the new bed fit perfectly on the wall where the bunks used to live. But, with a little (actually a lot) of paint and new queen sized bed, this space feels so much more grown up.

Should we go back and look at some “befores” again?

And not let’s come back to the AFTERS. Because they are a lot prettier.

The desk got a little update with some new slick metal shelves.

During this very weird Covid-19 season of life, it’s really nice to know that Article is offering contactless delivery in a lot of areas. The also offer free ground shipping on orders over $999, and for order under that Article offers a flat shipping fee of $49 (or $19 for small shipments). And if you are like me and are just not a confident online shopper, Article offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee so you can try out the new furniture in your home. If you’re not completely happy, they’ll pick up the furniture and provide a refund, minus the delivery and pickup charges which is $49 in most cases.

And now, I want to try to give you are many sources as I can for this room. Because, I didn’t really buy too many new things, I tried to source similar items for you.

Brass Coffee Table / Stone Chain / Sheets / Quilt / Lumbar Pillow / Arch Print / Walnut Bed / Bubble Clock / Side Table / Mirror / Metal Wall Shelf / Butterfly Chair / Credenza / Lamp / Desk Chair

So, while this isn’t exactly how I’d like the room to look, I feel like it’s very close. And as soon as this quarantine is over, I’m sure I’ll make a few tweaks and re-shoot the space.

Next item on the agenda is CURTAINS!!!!!
