Master Bedroom Design Comes to Life!

Before I share my bedroom photos, I want to let you know that my friend Cassie from Primitive and Proper is “hosting” me on her blog today – I’m showing some of my favorite areas from all over the house, so go check it out!

Do you remember, almost TWO YEARS ago when I posted this mood board for the master bedroom?

It’s been slowly coming together ever since!

DIY upholstered headboard

On this side of the room, the headboard that I upholstered is flanked by two antique pieces of furniture – an oak dresser that I refinished on Bart’s side of the bed, and a sewing machine cabinet on my side.

I will do a complete tutorial on the headboard someday.

The other side of the room is home to the recliner – it’s been up here since I got my turquoise chairs.  It may move to the basement someday, but I like having a quiet, comfy place to read or work.

The collection of starburst mirrors and metallic frames is a combination of antiques store and Hobby Lobby finds.

And as usual, it’s the little details that are my favorite…

A collection of gorgeous, favorite books.

Antique Roseville vases, one from my aunt, one from Bart’s grandma, and one was a garage sale find.

The art is reminiscent of our honeymoon in Charleston. A palmetto tree on my side of the bed, and a print of our favorite Charleston restaurant on Bart’s side.

I still have plans for this room.  Someday, I want to paint the trim and doors white. I refinished the woodwork downstairs, but I’m planning to paint up here.

I’d also like to replace the big recliner with a smaller, prettier chair.  But sometimes, practicality wins over aesthetics.

And I’m actually thinking about painting the room navy, too.

But for now, our bedroom is a cozy and comfortable retreat, and we love it!
