Moody bedroom makeover

Creating moody vibes with Taubmans' Black Forest and Feast Watson's Brown Japan stain.

Moody Vibes in my bedroom makeover. DIY bedhead using maritime pine and Feast Watson's Brown Japan stain, and the wall colour is a gorgeous dark blue called Black Forest (Taubmans' Easy Coat interior).

Materials

Feast Watson Sanding Sealer 

Feast Watson Brown Japan interior stain 

Taskmaster size 20 biscuit joiners 

Aquadhere pva wood glue exterior 

Taubmans neutral low sheen easy coat in Black Forest 

Black melamine shelf for hidden shelf 

Brackets, wood screws, microfibre paint rollers

Tools

Jigsaw 

Circular Saw 

Biscuit Joiner

De Walt Cordless Drill  

Steps

Step 1

I joined my pieces of wood using the Biscuit Joiner and Taskmaster size 20 biscuit joiners , and Aquadhere pva wood glue exterior  and let it dry between each row.

Step 2

I cut out the rectangles for the lights by firstly drilling holes in the corners to fit the jigsaw blade. Then cut out the rectangles. This was very nerve wracking!

Step 3

I tested on the back the bedhead 1 and 2 coats of sanding sealer and also how long to leave the stain on. For my pieces of pine, I only needed 1 coat of Feast Watson Sanding Sealer  and 2 very quick coats of Feast Watson Brown Japan interior stain . After I applied the stain and it was dried, I screwed on the bedside tables.

Step 4

I ended up putting a hidden shelf to rest against the back wall as I needed quite a space behind to allow for the cords and power sockets. I used the Black melamine shelf for hidden shelf , cut it to 11.5cm wide and attached it with brackets.

Step 5

I prepped the walls with sugar soap, then cut in the edges using a edging paintbrush. Then used a roller to apply 3 coats of Taubmans neutral low sheen easy coat in Black Forest . Before I decided on this colour I bought a few sample pots and painted pieces of cardboard to see how the colours looked against the wood and artwork. I highly recommend this as the colour I originally chose were too 'bland' and I realised I needed a specific blue hue with a touch of green.

@Tocikjaa I got it from Forty Winks. I preferred this than the other bed bases by the other bed companies in my area. 😁

Thank you so much @Mel_Langford  for the info AND the screenshot!  So thoughtful of you!  And that price is right up my ally!  🤗👏🙏🏻

... I just had a look and it's black & white 😫😪  I thought it was grey & white.  I'll just have to 'force' myself to go to their store and see what other bargains they have! 🤣

Again, thanks for the great  tip! 🌞
