Home Again: A Bedroom Makeover

The Bismarck Mandan Professional Women in Building Council (BMPWB) embarked on a large project this summer to not only give back to the community, but to also celebrate the national Professional Women in Building (PWB) week. This year’s national PWB week was September 13th-17th. As a local council, the BMPWB decided give away a master bedroom makeover. This large undertaking included new flooring, paint, light fixtures, furniture, bedding, décor, and so much more. They had over 50 submissions, and the group chose deserving single mom of two little boys, Abby Krebs. “I entered the bedroom makeover to get a fresh new space. Since my husband passed away last year, I have been slowly updating our house to make it fresh, light, and welcoming. My bedroom was one space I was stuck on and didn’t know what to do, but it is one of the spaces in the house that I spend the most amount of time in,” says Abby.

Over the course of two weeks, only nine work days, the ambitious group of ladies transformed Abby’s room into a tranquil haven for her to relax and unwind in. The full story can be found in the 2021 October-November issue of R+R with additional stories. The photos featured here were taken by NewAge Creative Studio for the issue, but obviously not all the amazing photos taken can make it into the printed issue, so here are some additional photos from Abby Kreb’s newly remodeled master bedroom.
