Master Bedroom- The impossible made possible

the space between


My husband and I lived with our master bedroom for almost 2 years and it never felt right. I tried more furniture, less furniture, new art, but it didn't work.

I think I immediately knew it wasn't right...but I just kinda tried to live with it. Finally we moved all our bedrooms in our house, so our bedroom not only changed actual rooms, but it also got completely made over

This was our old bedroom


It felt...too floral, not enough space, the walls never seemed the right color, the bedding although I liked it in the store...didn't feel like my style.


Then we moved into the guest room, and got white bedding
(ps the reason we are in the guest room is because the master isn't that much bigger, but the bigger closet is in the guest room)


I liked the green walls for a guest room, but not for the master. So I got to work!


And here is the finished product








We used the same metal tin tile that we had above our bed in our first room, but I painted it white and used some sophisticated finishing paint in pewter


I really love the look of it, and since I already had the tin tile and paint, it was free.


I got some opps paint from Home Depot, and this bar cart that I found on the side of the street and fixed it up with a chevronish pattern


Here is the before

 I painted the tops white and the rest blue. Then taped off the top.


I really love the chevron pattern, so it was an easy decision for me. Also because I didn't do an actual chevron pattern I didn't need to measure or make it difficult, which is always a plus for me.


I took all the paint swatches and used them to make some free art




And again here is the final product.


And if you are looking for the full posts you can find them here

  3. Thanks for the breakdown it is helpful to know where you shop and get your deals. Smart shopper. The paint color, I really like. M. Stewart has great color choices. Your bedroom is really cozy. Do you have a TV in your BR? If so where did you put it? That's what I am having isuses with right now my hubby wants a TV but where do I put it?

    1. Hi, thanks so much for your comment. If you look up at begining of the post, where it shows my first bedroom, with the floral bedding you can see the tv. We have a pretty big tv and we have it on that light blue dresser, and that is exactly how it is in our new room too. So it is facing the bed. I dont really show pictures of it because the tv makes it kind of unpretty, but we watch a lot of netflix and movies from bed, so we would never get rid of our tv in the bedroom even though its not too pretty. I know a lot of people mount it, which costs a little bit of money. I also know people build gallery walls around the tv so the tv looks like a piece of art (i mean not really, but it blends in with the art) Good Luck, and email me with any other questions, have a fabulous day!

    2. Oh yes, I see the TV in the before pictures. I also agree about not getting rid of the TV, as homely as they are I enjoy watching a good movie in bed. I like your suggestion of a gallery wall to distract from the TV. This way the TV won't be the focal point. Thanks for the tip. Have a great day!

  32. Wow, it looks so beautiful. The chevron cart is so pretty. I have yet to learn how to arrange a photo display on the walls. I'm such a neat freak that I have to line everything up and it just doesn't work. I'm thinking of getting a set of identical frames to solve my problem. LOL.
