Bedroom Makeover – Boring to Beautiful!

A bedroom makeover doesn’t have to be wall to wall, including new furniture. It can be as easy as creating an accent wall – which still makes a huge statement!

Bedroom Makeover – Before and After

Before // After

This is a WOW, right?! Same rug, same furniture but a huge impact thanks to the application of decorative wall molding and a statement color. Here’s how to update a wall in your home…

But before I begin, the reason this project was within the range of my abilities, is that I did not use a miter saw. Frankly, we don’t have one and I have never used one! To get around this, I used PVC molding and miter shears. It’s a really cool hack for those of us who don’t have a garage full of tools.

What you will need:

Nail Gun // Miter Shears // Level // PVC Molding // Caulk Gun // Caulk // Tape Measure
  • PVC Molding
  • Nail Gun
  • Miter Shears
  • 2 Foot Level
  • Caulk Gun
  • Caulk
  • Nail Hole Fill
  • Tape Measure
  • Pencil
  • Primer
  • Paint
Craftsman Nail Gun // Miter Shears

The most expensive item for this project was the nail gun. I chose the Craftsman 16 GA Cordless Finish Nailer Kit. The other option is the CRAFTSMAN 18 GA Cordless Finish Nailer Kit. I purchased the Craftsman 16GA because that’s what was in stock. The cordless option was key for me!

I mentioned above that I was able to easily make my corner cuts with miter shears! Using these really made this project doable for me.

PVC Molding // Level

You will also need a 2-foot level to make sure your lines are straight and to draw your boxes. PVC molding is another hack that allowed me to complete this DIY without a miter saw.

How to create your own bedroom Makeover

  1. Measure and draw the lines on your wall using a level, tape measure and pencil.
Measured, leveled, and straight penciled boxes on the wall

2. Measure a box line and then use that measurement to mark your PVC molding.

How to use the miter shears…

3. Use the miter shears to cut the PVC molding. When cutting the corners, make sure that the long end of the cut is always on the outside.

Attach your measured and cut PVC trim on the pencil line using a nail gun

4. Line up and attach the pieces to the wall, on your pencil lines, using your nail gun. If they don’t line up perfectly, you can use caulk to fill them in before painting. Complete all of your decorative boxes.

5. Fill your nail holes. Make sure to wipe off excess fill. Allow to dry.

Trim After Caulking // Trim After Primed

6. Use caulk to fill in spaces where the corners may not have lined up perfectly. Make sure to wipe off excess caulk. Allow to dry.

2 Coats of Paint on Trim

7. Paint the trim. You may need to do more than one coat depending on the color. Allow to dry.

9. Stand back and enjoy the beautiful transformation you created!

Meet Jen

Once upon a time I was Jenny… and then I made the switch to Jennifer.  But on occasion, good-time college “Jenna” still makes an appearance.  Despite the challenges that parenting, working, and full-time multi-tasking present, I embrace YOLO – You Only Live Once.  My motto – seize the day, do your best, be kind but also be forgiving of yourself.  Life is a practice – and never perfect.  And when those “Jenna” occasions happen, I don’t let them pass me by – but instead, I live it up.  Join me in finding the fabulous in everything – style, fitness, food and lifestyle.
