About a year ago I gave Preston, my oldest son a bedroom refresh thinking it would be the last time since he was 17. However, it never quite sat right with me. If you have been following along then you know at one time my entire home was decorated in Farmhouse Style, but it really doesn’t fit the style of our home. It was time to give this room a Mid Century Modern Bedroom vibe.
Don’t worry! Not more than $150 was spent on this room. If you’ve been following me for some time then you know that I flip furniture in order to fund my decorating habits! I sold his old bed frame for $150 (originally purchased on Craigslist for $60 and then painted) his Ikea dresser, rug, and bedding. Actually, I was ahead of the game. His room is small so I had to maximize the space.

Barn Doors
I made these Bypass closet barn doors for my son. Don’t have the time or means to make your own barn doors? Scroll to the bottom of this post and I will share a company that has an amazing selection for you to choose from.
At one point his room was littered with his motocross trophies that now live in the closet and he keeps his favorite out for display.
One of the things my son requested with this refresh was a low profile/platform bed. If you saw his Farmhouse Style bedroom, the bed was really tall!
I’m very lucky that he doesn’t care how is room is decorated or the art work I select, but I do honor his wishes with keeping some of his favorite pictures and mementos displayed.
Just a reminder what the closet doors looked like before
Due to photo editing (which I’m not the best at) the colors of the rug are distorted. Here is a true un-edited view of the rug. This is the Loloi Teracotta Skye rug. I have 5 Loloi’s in my house and love them! They are screen print and have no pile.

Loloi Teracotta Skye. Overstock has the best price over Wayfair and Amazon, but they are re-named Alexander Home
I actually had purchased two of these to use in the Guest room, but decided to use one.
I actually like this better with the marble base
We have had this for 4 years now

SOME TIME TO FLUFF OUT. I also have this propped up on books inside the basket it is sitting in.

If you’re not into DIY, don’t worry! I recently came across White Shanty Shoppe. They have the best selection of barn doors I have ever seen! Reclaimed Wood, Wood, Metal, Panel, Glass, Mirror, Bypass, and Double Barn Doors. You can also select your custom finish with paint or stain. Don’t forget to take advantage of their Free Consultation.
At the beginning of 2021, I will be working on a Master bath remodel for the One Room Challenge hosted by Better Homes and Gardens. The room will have a modern feel with hexagon floor tile and floating vanity. I am seriously considering a set of sliding barn doors to close off our bedroom from our bathroom as now it is all open and provides no privacy.
Here are some of my favorites:
