I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to have longer days since the spring time change! I’m not much of a morning person anyway, and I feel so much more productive later in the day when the sun is up longer. I hope you’ll enjoy the spring bedroom makeover I have to share with you today.

Many decorators and designers suggest choosing paint color last. However, if you are starting from scratch, choosing the paint color FIRST can be the best way to go (you can find out why here).

There was a dresser in storage that I suggested painting a dark green that pops against the new wall color. The green crystal knobs really make the piece! We topped it with a new lamp and mirror.
When I found this blue birdcage light fixture in my favorite lighting store, I knew it was THE ONE for this happy spring bedroom makeover! My client loved it, too, so up it went:
And now for the happy spring bedroom makeover reveal. Here again is the “before” from the entry of the room:
