Two Mortgages Too Many

Before, this bedroom had mismatched window treatments and damaged walls, but it still had lots of potential. Now, its potential has been fulfilled, and this room is gorgeous. The walls were painted three shades of green to highlight the room's height and architectural detail. The wall behind the bed is re-covered in beadboard to help ground the space and add more interest to the dormer wall. A new crystal chandelier adds elegance and draws the eye up to the lofty ceiling. Finally, radiator covers conceal the big cast-iron radiators and provide decorative shelf storage.

Cost breakdown:

faux finish $87
beadboard $160
chandelier $250
radiator covers $300
bathroom upgrades $350
floor refinishing $80
paint and accessories $770

Total: $1,997
