Kristin’s Bedroom

Kristin is a friend of mine, who lives in a one bedroom cottage and has a rambunctious little Westie named Bennett Bonham. Here’s the deal on Kristin’s bedroom plan, tiny budget + likes the color purple.

Kristin already has some key pieces for her bedroom,

  • The parsons style desk, she bought hers at Walmart.
  • Bedside table, Rast overhaul, thanks for the inspiration Aubrey and Lindsay
  • Hand me down dresser, needs to be spruced up with new hardware and stain/paint job
  • A pair of Adler-esque white ceramic lamps from the 60s

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Rast hack that was all over blogland a few months ago, the Rast is a petite dresser that begins this way…

Ikea rast before

and can become this…

Kristin has the overhauled Rast on one side of the bed and I suggested that she put her Parsons desk on the other side.  And the rest of the room could look like this…
