Today we would like to introduce you to Virginia –popular American blogger, talented amateur decorator and simply charming girl. She created 9 versions of her bedroom decor before she came to the ideal Virginia is a charming girl who created her own blog about interior design, in which she shares with readers her personal experience gained in the process of arranging her own home. While browsing Virginia's virtual page, we came across a unique material that we simply could not help but share with our readers. The thing is that the girl created 9 versions of her own bedroom decor before she was satisfied with the interior.

Version #1: Basic

When Virginia first saw the master bedroomher new home, she was delighted. Not because the room was beautiful and cozy (it was terrible), but because it felt like it had so much potential. According to the girl, the bedroom felt like a diamond that needed cutting.

Version #2

The first version of the bedroom interior was quiteuncomplicated. Virginia was just discovering the fascinating world of decorating. You can see that the color scheme and finishing materials remained unchanged. Only furniture was added, and even that was the most necessary.

Version #3

The gloomy wooden doors and panels were depressing.Virginia, and she decided to repaint them herself. As a result, the room came alive, became brighter and more cheerful. Note that the doors are painted white, and the wooden wall panels in the additional room are the same color as the walls. This technique alone completely changed the mood of the bedroom.

Version #4

Next, Virginia decided to replace the mattress, whichserved as her sleeping place, a full-fledged bed. However, the girl did not have the money to buy the coveted piece of furniture, so she decided to limit herself to a metal frame. The luxurious headboard is the work of Virginia herself. The photo shows that the interior is acquiring signs of a classic style. This is evidenced by the chandelier that replaced the ugly fan, and the charming chair and ottoman, which Virginia personally upholstered.

Version #5

Virginia continued to furnish the bedroom, butEach new piece of furniture was modified by her. She picked out a chest of drawers and a vanity table that matched the style and painted them white. Virginia also converted a small coffee table into a bedside bench, decorating the tabletop with soft upholstery. The room lasted like this for 6 months.

Version #6

The next version of the interior, in the opinion ofVirginia's is one of the most successful. She was able to buy the dresser of her dreams, which she immediately painted her favorite white color without hesitation. But the main changes affected the arrangement of the furniture: the bed "moved" to the adjacent wall, and that same luxurious dresser took its place. In addition, Virginia bought a couple of bedside tables at a sale. Now she no longer considers this purchase a success: "You need to have a special sense to find the right things at sales. At that time, I did not have it yet." The color of the walls also underwent changes: it became darker and more saturated. A charming elegant rug from Home Depot appeared on the floor.

Version #7

The next version of the bedroom also has a number ofsignificant decorative differences. Virginia once again changed the mood of the room by painting the mirror frames silver. The furniture began to look more interesting due to the contrasting black elements - fittings. The dressing table is completely unrecognizable: its tabletop elegantly gleams with black gloss. To avoid color confusion, Virginia replaced the bed linen with a gold hue with a white set. In the adjoining room, she arranged a semblance of an office. The main place in it was occupied by her grandmother's antique chest of drawers, which also did not escape the "white" fate. Editorial Opinion: Excessive passion for whitecolor often plays a cruel joke not only on amateurs, but also on professional designers. In addition to the obvious advantages (visual expansion of space, compliance with fashion trends), white also has negative aspects. Its reasonable use creates a light and relaxed atmosphere, but too much can lead to the creation of a sterile and emotionless interior.

Version #8

This design option did not last long,because the owner was tired of the abundance of white. Virginia really got a little carried away: she repainted the dressing table white again, added a white rug, and a bedside ottoman in light gray upholstery. In addition, the girl remade the headboard. The textile upholstery of the latter was matched to the ottoman.

Version #9

This time the girl decided to pay special attentionattention to accessories. She replaced the massive chandelier with a more elegant lamp. Instead of a white rug on the floor, there was a carpet whose color matches the color of the walls. The chest of drawers was decorated with new large decorative accessories. Virginia also painted several pillows and placed a contrasting striped bench at the foot of the bed.

Version No. 10: our days

Virginia can't explain why exactlyThe final version of the bedroom is better than the previous ones. However, it is in this interior that she feels happy and satisfied. What has changed? The girl added literally a few bright accents and even colored furniture. The adjoining room has changed itsfunctional purpose. Now Virginia uses it as a gym. Next to the exercise machine is a vintage pale blue chest of drawers in which the girl keeps various small items.It is also impossible not to notice the beautiful piece of decorative art hanging from the bedroom ceiling. This chandelier really takes the room to the next level.Virginia continued to complement the interiorinteresting decorative accessories. This is how postcards with images of flowers and flamingos appeared in the bedroom, which, thanks to the homemade frames, look like real works of art. The "silver" line, which began with mirror frames, was continued: there was room in the room for a silver tray and her grandmother's antique pocket mirror. The handmade pillows that the girl had worked on earlier also came in handy.But Virginia's main pride was her dressing room. It was to its interior design that the girl devoted the last few weeks.
