Complete Master Bedroom Makeover & Tour!

by Filed Under: Decor & Furniture, Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

Nikki from AtHomeWithNikki was in town visiting and we had a girls’ day shopping. It was such fun spending time with her and doing some shopping to help me find some trendy bedroom furniture to redecorate and makeover my master bedroom! It was a really long day to be honest. I don’t know how I would cope if I had to redecorate my whole house. I would probably spending ages reading reviews of products like this delonghi ecp3420 review before I could even make a decision. It would be fun to redo my whole house if I could, but unfortunately I just don’t have the time to do it. If I had the time and money, then I would have great fun I’m sure. Doesn’t really matter though as I’m only interested in redoing my master bedroom. If I had the whole house then that would take ages. But luckily I’m just redoing my master bedroom for the time being. Even for just one room, we spent ages deciding what we wanted and if we thought it would work well together. We bought loads of items though, even a new memory foam mattress! In this video I share my 4 simple tips for creating a master bedroom space you will love– everything is simple and budget friendly! I hope you enjoy this collab– it was so fun to shoot and edit. Nikki is such a dear friend of mine. You can see her video here!
