Hello, dear reader! Does this wallpaper seem familiar to you? Perhaps you remember the MOTO photo from my previous makeover reveal? The one where I transformed the smaller of my two bedrooms with DIY fabric wallpaper, squeezed in a queen bed, and claimed it as my own? Or maybe you recall my recent post where I shared my spooky second bedroom, also known as “The Doom Room,” and considered swapping the two?
The TLDR version is this – I loved my original bedroom design and planned to keep the furniture and fabric wallpaper forever. However, I made the mistake of choosing the smaller room as my personal bedroom, leaving the larger room as my “office.” Unfortunately, the larger space became a storage area for estate sale finds, craft supplies, and miscellaneous items I wanted to hide away. Frustrated with the clutter in my own bedroom, I decided to swap the two rooms in hopes of creating more space and freeing up the smaller room for guests. So, I took the plunge, moved my bed and dresser to the larger room (which I’m loving), and transformed the wallpapered room into a new project – a nearly blank canvas.
During the room switch, I had the serendipitous opportunity to collaborate with AllModern for a story about hosting holiday visitors. This partnership, combined with my desire to declutter and design a thoughtful guest space, inspired me to revamp the spare room. I can’t wait to share the transformation with you.
