"When she bought her 1959 fixer-upper, it 'needed everything done,' she says - the kitchen, three bathrooms, all the windows, doors, and lots more. 'So we needed to save money where we could,' Stephanie says."
"'We wanted a nice bedroom without paying a bunch,' she says - but the before was yellowed with a bit of a stink. 'It was so old that things were coming back into style, like the grasscloth accent wall.'"
"'There was a lot more heavy cleaning than we expected under those things,' Stephanie says, referring to the old carpet and baseboards that were removed."
"'We used an inspirational picture from Stutilicious as a guide,' Stephanie explains about the geometric pattern she created with the new window trim."
Stephanie Beaulac purchased a 1959 fixer-upper that required extensive renovations. To keep costs low, she focused on the bedroom, which had an outdated and unpleasant atmosphere. After removing old grasscloth wallpaper, carpet, and baseboards, she painted the walls in light gray and deep blue. She also created a modern accent wall using painted window trim in a geometric pattern. The transformation significantly improved the room's appearance and smell while adhering to a budget-friendly approach.
