One Room Challenge- Primary Bedchamber Reveal

The solar daytime is finally here!  Ever since Mon when I realized I'd really live able to destination the room inwards fourth dimension (it was doubtful at that topographic point for a while), in addition to after many tardily nights, scraped knuckles, countless empty cans of spray paint, several do-overs, in addition to hours of difficult work, I finally acquire to part our novel Master Bedroom alongside you!

If you're a novel reader checking inwards from the link party, I'm SO glad you're here.  I promise you'll similar what yous see, gather some novel ideas that yous tin purpose inwards your ain home, in addition to are inspired to brand your abode merely a footling to a greater extent than "you"!

Now, I know this room won't live for everyone.  I'm a color lover.  I can't acquire plenty of anything that is bright, bold, patterned, shiny, in addition to colorful.  So although I used lots of color, I tried to give it ease alongside a neutral, calm base.  But there's also hot pink.  And yes, it's my husband's room too, but no, he doesn't hear how I decorate it.  If I'm happy, he's happy.  #21years

OK, hence hither nosotros go!  It was a long fourth dimension coming, but every 2nd of difficult go for the past times vi weeks was totally worth it.

Just to demo yous how far we've come, how virtually a few reminders of how this room used to look?  Technically nosotros started hither to a greater extent than or less 3 years ago-

I can't say yous how it pains me to run across those photos.  BOY, has my vogue changed!  Actually, dorsum in addition to hence I don't intend that was my style, I merely did what colors in addition to styles I thought I should exercise for a "grown-up" room.  Lesson learned.

We painted the walls then, but afterwards the makeover stalled out equally other projects (like my Son's Room, Daughter's Room, Dining Room, in addition to Kitchen, along alongside merely keeping upward alongside life!) took priority.  I knew what I wanted to exercise inwards hither for the most part, in addition to gathered ideas in addition to materials for literally 2 years.  So, equally of vi weeks ago, the room all the same looked similar this-

basically a storage room for things to come, but everything was all the same a projection needing to live done.

I completely DIYed my means through this room.  The vi human foot tall upholstered headboard commands attending upon entering the room.  Last weekend I nailed every. single. nailhead into that frame... at to the lowest degree 640!  Not certain I counted right, it seemed similar i million.  ;)

I also sewed pillows in addition to to a greater extent than pillows, customized the bedskirt in addition to duvet cover, made the curtains, in addition to recovered the cube ottomans.  

The craigslist nightstands got a makeover alongside a footling surprise railroad train that I'll live sharing that soon.  Even to a greater extent than than pigment sometimes, hardware tin brand or pause a piece!  I've loved these scalloped band pulls since the firstly fourth dimension I saw them (thanks D. Lawless Hardware!), in addition to knew they would live perfect for updating the out of vogue pieces that these were before.  
  

I pulled things into this room from all over the house... the Dining Room lost a few of the Audubon plane prints, but I couldn't resist using them to flank the bed.  The colors tally perfectly into my palette, in addition to they provided involvement without competing alongside everything else on that side of the room.  The frames were recycled from my "way before" bedroom, in addition to the warm note ties together good alongside the darker armoire.

Thankfully, my hubby agreed to switching out the ceiling fan for a chandelier.  I agreed to purpose a standing fan inwards the room, which nosotros tin tuck out of sight if needed.  SO worth it to accept a pretty lite (plus, nosotros tin SEE at dark a chiliad times amend than nosotros could alongside the dinky fan light)!  It was a Craiglist purchase that didn't start out hence pretty, in addition to yous tin read virtually it's transformation here.

This calendar week I shared virtually this armoire that my Dad made years ago, in addition to how I updated it past times darkening the stain.  It provides nifty storage for the room.  

The doors leading to the bath (another makeover for some other day!) were apartment in addition to I had painted them dark a few years ago.  With the dark armoire correct side past times side to them, I wanted to lighten them dorsum up, in addition to add together some involvement alongside moulding.  58 feet of trim down in addition to 64 mitered cuts later, here's where nosotros ended up!  I honey them... they experience hence fancy.  See the tutorial for the doors here.

Turning towards the contrary wall from the bed, nosotros created a sitting expanse surrounding an electrical fireplace (that's worth it's weight inwards aureate inwards the winter!).  Even though our sleeping room has wall to wall carpeting, I'm a huge believer inwards layering rugs.  This bold trellis carpet adds color,interest, in addition to defines the sitting area.  Rugs USA graciously provided this one for my room, but I've purchased 2 other rugs from them inwards the past, in addition to accept been beyond happy alongside each one.  They run major sales oftentimes (mine is 75% off correct now!) hence at that topographic point are nifty deals to live found, in addition to a huge multifariousness of options.

From the minute I bought the brass tray tabular array from Craigslist, I knew this is merely the spot where I'd desire to purpose it.  

The greek telephone substitution swing arm lamps (thank yous Lamps Plus!) definitely pocket the demo on this wall.  They were the perfect pick hither since they extend far plenty to render skilful lite for reading inwards the chairs, in addition to the wall mounts are squeamish since this infinite wasn't really cohesive for a flooring or tabular array lamp.  We also honey that the on/off knobs are really dimmer switches, hence nosotros tin withdraw the brightness in addition to the amount of lite that nosotros need.   

I filled this wall alongside some of my favorite menage unit of measurement photos in addition to nifty memories, including the plaster casts of my babies' handprints, a plaque commemorating the yr nosotros were married,

and some mementos from our travels abroad in conclusion year.  We photographed the swans on the Thames River exterior of Windsor Castle, in addition to included a impress of the Rynek inwards the metropolis centre inwards Krakow, Poland in addition to another of Windsor Castle itself on the other side of the tv.   

The fireplace gallery wall looks hence pretty at dark alongside the swing arms on...  I've merely been sitting on my bed in addition to staring at it!  And, equally shortly equally a chill hits the air this Fall, we'll relish a cozier room alongside the flip of a switch. 

The cube ottomans are slowly to purpose at the terminate of the bed, or line upward to purpose equally a footrest at the wingback chairs.  I've establish a novel favorite spot for blogging!

I didn't desire to conclude this post without giving a HUGE give thanks yous to my family...  they pitched in, lived amidst chaos for weeks in addition to didn't hear i bit, fended for themselves for many a meal, in addition to happily helped move, hang, assemble, lift, cook, in addition to charge the dishwasher.  ;)  I genuinely couldn't accept done this without them!
