This red and gray Kid’s Bedroom Makeover looks so fabulous! It’s amazing what a difference paint, new bedding and some little touches make to a room!
I am so excited to share my daughter’s bedroom makeover with you sponsored by Walmart and Glidden. Two weeks ago, I showed you the before pictures of my daughter’s bedroom and now it is DONE!! So, without further ado…here is the tour:
I will start the tour in the far left corner of the room and go counter-clockwise…
The colors I used were Red Delicious #WGR22 and Seal Gray #WGN65 from the Glidden Brilliance 2in1 Collection at Walmart.
A little reading nook…no, I did not get around to recovering the chair but I did add an Anthro DIY Ruffled Pillow!
Vanessa (my daughter) loves photography, so I put some cameras on her bookshelf: one vintage, one she shares with her brother, one she got for Christmas and her first digital camera. Check out her framed photo, at the foot of the bunk bed below, that won 1st prize last year at school!!
At the foot of the bunk bed, you can see Vanessa’s winning photo! The comforter and body pillows were purchased at Walmart. I recovered the lamp on the nightstand.
Okay, now for some fun surprises!! I painted the black trim in the room with chalkboard paint as a fun way for Vanessa to be creative in her room!
I painted this dresser and the handles.
What’s in the jars? Lip Gloss, Candy and Chalk!
And the chalk can be used on the dresser too!!
Isn’t that just adorable?
Now, here are a few before pictures for those of you that didn’t see them….
Mismatched bedspreads with brown and light blue paint from the previous owners.
I want to say a huge thank you to Glidden Brilliance Collection 2in1 Paint from Walmart for giving me this opportunity to paint my daughter’s room! The new paint inspired an entire room makeover and we couldn’t be happier with the results! This paint was fantastic to work with!!
Many people have trouble painting reds but I had no trouble at all. I am sure the fact that I was painting red over brown helped but I think the primer that is already in this paint really helped! I only had to do one coat with some minor touch-ups!

It looks fabulous! Really turned her bedroom from a mishmash of stuff to a very put-together room. I love the idea of the chalkboard paint on the trim, that is fun!
Jennifer @ Delightfully Noted says

This looks AMAZING!! I love that you have both the red and the grey on the walls – the colors look great together! And brilliant that the black trim is chalkboard paint! The dresser looks SO pretty with the black and white and how cute that she can write on her drawers 🙂 That jar of Lip Smackers brought me back to my middle school days 🙂
Stephanie says
What a beautiful makeover! And you did that all in two weeks?! Great job!
Anne says
Tonia. You’ve outdone yourself again. I just can’t believe you just got in and done that, all on your own. I’d be defeated before I even started, telling myself that it’d be too hard to do if the kids played up etc etc. (Maybe when mine are a little older I might tackle something like this.) You’re really inspirational. I bet your daughter loves it. She’s very lucky to have such a talented Mum (oops Mom) as you!Anne xx
