Dressing Room Inspiration

I'm moving into a new place next month & I'm totally excited that I get to use an entire bedroom to turn into my own dressing room! I've been looking high and low for design inspiration & thought I would share a few of my favorites with you.

DIY: Framed Chalkboard

If you're like me, you've probably seen these chalkboards all over Pinterest boards. If you've been wanting to make one, here's a short little tutorial on how to make your very own.

What You'll Need:

 - Frame (old or new)

- Chalkboard Paint (I found Martha Stewart's at Michael's for about $5)

- Paintbrush or sponge (99 cents at Michael's)

You can either choose the glass or the backing of the frame as your chalkboard. I chose the glass since the backing of the frame I picked up had an uneven surface. I used two coats of the paint, waiting at least an hour between coats. I'm a pretty impatient person, but trust me when I say wait the hour - if you don't, the paint will start to peel and get really gross. After you've finished painting, wait at least 24 hours to give the paint some time to cure before you start doodling on your new board.

DIY: Branch Lamp

A cheap & chic way to add a modern, yet woodsy, touch to any space.

I bought a silver lamp base from a local thrift store for only $3. I hunted around my yard and gathered a bucket full of branches. I tried finding ones that had similar widths to them and just broke some of the longer ones. Luckily, I live in a pretty wooded area, so finding sticks laying around wasn't all that difficult. I hot-glued the sticks around the base of the lamp until I got about 2 inches from the cord on each side (nobody will see the back anyways). I bought the square lamp shade from Target for about $15. Of course, there are cheaper lamp shades available elsewhere if your the bargain-hunting type.

 And...Viola! Simple, right?
