Realizing we needed proper Ugly Baby before shots before any boxes arrived, our lovely friend & stellar photographer, Andrew, beat the moving truck to our place & snapped some commemorative, wide-angle ugliness. He’s archived every inch of the “before” & I’m ever so grateful. So why not meet my ugly bedroom?
The bedroom’s ugly “feature” wall:
With ugly bedroom carpet, and that damn popcorn ceiling…
And an escape route…
Dreadfully dreary. You know how much I hate popcorn ceilings – but what toxic thoughts are left for that filthy, musty carpet? Plenty. Fingers crossed for a transformation bordering on unrecognizable. Until then, it’s good company for our ugly bathroom.
Update: Here’s the slightly-less-ugly bedroom (70%) complete, and now – 90% less ugly – in our apartment before and after photos.
Hey, you want a s'more? Some more of what?
That’s an .. interesting.. feature wall!
Haha! What if it’s just too shiny to sleep next to?
Hey that’s so creative, it’s cool

Maria, maybe it’s a finishing touch that’s missing from your home office. I’ll even deliver the second-hand mirror scraps. Deal?
Hi, just found your blog. This is a fantastic idea!! I’m looking forward to following your journey!
Thanks, Melissa! Glad to have you along for the (bumpy) ride.
Well, it’s definitely a… reflective room!! Are there mirrors on the ceiling too??

Unfortunately, no. They must have run out! Weirdly I think the mirrors make the room darker – they’re in such a stupid place. (Why am I saying this to a designer – you already know this).
