I liked the idea of paneling the main wall of the master bedroom with the original doors of the house, but I’m not sure about the bedside table. In my opinion it doesn’t really match the style of the room. Neither does the bed; it looks as if it’s missing something. If it were up to me, I would hire a carpenter to build a more appropriate frame with the salvaged wood. The ceiling in the room is high enough that tall bed posts would’ve made the space a little cozier.

You did a great job fixing up that high chair – I bet you can’t stop looking at it! Restoration projects are so much fun and the feeling of satisfaction at the end is worth all the hard work and attention to detail. Whenever I do them I can’t believe the final results, but I have to force myself to slow down and not be tempted to take any shortcuts. I saw the most amazing child’s bedroom at a furniture exhibit once and I managed to find a similar wooden activity table, an armoire and a toy wagon. I restored them all before my toddler turned 3. Now he has a beautiful bedroom for less than $100 – over 1/10th of the price at the expo!
