$3000 BEDROOM MAKE-OVER WINNERS




One of the benefits of owning your own business is it allows you a platform for change and contribution to your community. Karla, owner of McBurney Junction Interiors and The Passionate Home created a "WIN A $3000 BEDROOM MAKE OVER CONTEST" in May of this year.

We took a few photos along the way to share with you the transformation. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of the room before it was painted, but it was a bit darker than builder beige. Mark from All Bright Painting in Langley donated his time to this project and did an incredible job. Thanks Mark and team!


After speaking with the winning family and touring their home, our inspiration came from their many beautiful and colourful paintings. Although the room was furnished from both The Passionate Home and McBurney Junction Interiors, the bedding was purchased at some of our favorite stores.


We had a custom king size headboard made in a deep chocolate brown...so beautiful!



With the high ceilings it was important to find just the right piece for above the bed.



Nothing is ever as easy as we think!


Last minute clean up before the big reveal.


It was from this Pottery Barn pillow that we picked the colour for our room, Benjamin Moore Atmospheric Blue. The paint for this make-over was generously donated by Benjamin Moore Langley Decorating Center. Thank you Earl!

The family was not allowed into the room until we were done, but somehow, somebody small snuck in when we weren't looking! He promised not to say a word and spoil the surprise!



We also added a hinged lid ottoman to provide extra storage as well as a place to sit and play guitar. The ottoman also looked great at the end of the bed. The large painting was acquired from another room in the home.



We dressed the bed and added colourful throw pillows and blanket. We stole the blue bedside table from the guest room and added the new chocolate one on the right. The lamps are also new to this space.


The home owners like to use this space for computer work, so we added this distressed red antique desk and leather covered stool. The stool is made from reclaimed bicycle tire rims, very cool and the lamp and painting were more items we borrowed from other rooms in the home!











We added this basket to hold extra toys for the kids. Easy to clean up and it looks great!




One happy family! Thank you both for allowing us into your home and for being such wonderful and inspiring people! We hope this room provides the inspiration, relaxation and peacefulness that you were hoping for.
