ChatGPT redecorated my bedroom

We’ve all used ChatGPT to roast our family pictures or word things so that we sound smarter than we really are, but have y’all ever tried uploading pictures of your home to see what it would look like in another style? Well that’s just what I did with our master bedroom, and as soon as I saw what the app came up with, I was in love!

So this is the “before” picture that I uploaded to the ChatGPT app. Not bad, but I was just curious what a different style would look like. The app then came up with this…

First of all, I was blown away by the green walls! I’ve always liked neutral walls, but this green looked so beautiful! Also, my husband is always complaining that our bedroom looks “too girly” and this green looked a little more masculine to me!

Second of all, we’ve never had a headboard on our bed, and I was surprised at how big of a difference a headboard made in the new picture! I immediately got to work on trying to recreate this look!

The first thing I did was order a headboard from Amazon, and I also found this print at Hobby Lobby that I fell in love with to hang above the bed. The AI-generated picture showed two prints above the bed, but I liked the look of one larger print better.

Next I got to work on picking out a wall color. I was torn between these two colors, so I got samples of each to try out on the walls.

My husband and I decided we liked the darker green better, which is “Rock Garden” by Sherwin Williams.

And how beautiful it is finished! It’s a very moody green, and contrasts so well with the lighter headboard! I kept all of my original bedding because it’s super soft and comfy, but I did get new curtains that actually touched the floor since the old ones were a little short.

I kept the rug the same as well since it already had some greens in it, so the only thing I changed out were the curtains, the paint color, and then added the headboard and print above the bed.

The green walls look beautiful in any lighting – here they are at night with lamp light…

So when you compare my finished product with ChatGPT’s original suggestion, I’d say they are pretty close to the same!

If my arms weren’t so sore from all the painting, I’d be considering painting every room in my house this color! Now on to the next project!

Thanks y’all!

Cash’s Room Redo

~ cowboybootsandhighheels ~ Leave a comment

My youngest is almost 13 years old (How did that happen?!?), so I thought it was time to update his room and make it a little more “grown up” looking. He loves baseball, so that was the “before” theme of his room.

Before

The plaid bedding and the baseball pillows were cute, they just looked too young for him now. I wanted to keep the baseball theme, just with an “older kid edge,” so when I came across these prints on Etsy of baseball patents, I thought they were perfect!

These prints were the perfect inspiration to update his room! I got the 11×17 barnwood frames at Hobby Lobby, giving them a rustic look. The black print contrasts well against the gray walls, and also fits with the more mature look I was going for. These prints also come in other colors though.

Before

The main wall of his room was a cluttered mess. Originally it was just the canvases and basket of hats above the tv, then things just kept getting added to his wall over the years until it was full. This was the perfect place to hang the new prints.

After

We kept his award displays and the first deer he ever killed, and took down everything else, leaving plenty of room for the new prints. Even though this wall is still pretty full, it looks much less cluttered and haphazard.

I had found a brown leather lumbar pillow at Home Goods a while back for super cheap, and knew it would be perfect for Cash’s room, even though at that time I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I decided to just go with neutral bedding, and bring in pattern with a new rug.

The gray sheets actually came from Walmart, so they were super cheap, but so soft since they are the t-shirt sheets. The khaki comforter set came from Amazon, so also inexpensive. The khaki color is a little lighter than it looked online, but the material is so soft. The abstract rug also came from Amazon, and ties all the grays, blacks and tans together. (Please ignore all the clutter on his desk – we hadn’t gotten around to cleaning that part of his room out yet!)

After

The brown leather pillow works perfectly with the neutral bedding, so I’m so glad I snagged it at Home Goods since it was the only one they had!

Last, I changed his navy blue curtains to gray…

…and replaced the large baseball canvas with a fishing rod holder so now his fishing poles are out of the way. The solid comforter instead of the plaid one, as well as de-cluttering the walls a little bit, make his room look bigger and definitely more grown up.

After

So even if I’m not quite ready for him to be a teenager, his room is ready for it!

Thanks y’all!
