Master Bedroom Room Makeover!

When we toured the house for the first time, the Master Bedroom needed A LOT of imagination. The sellers had their own kind of style (that most certainly not the same as OUR style), and the room was filled with furniture that didn't really fit or fill out the layout of the room.


Here's the before (with the sellers furniture)


We used our imagination (and Pinterest) to come up with our vision board for the new bedroom. (You can see all our vision boards here). I've added affiliate links throughout this post so you can find exactly what we bought to make our vision come to life. And if you want to watch the madness, you can find us on YouTube here.

I knew that I wanted some sort of accent wall. Our bedroom in our old house was gray, and while I LOVED that room, I was also ready for something different. So we decided on Glidden Blue Gray Slate for the accent wall. We painted the other walls Glidden Antique White. The painting process was relatively painless... for me. Because Cor did most of it.


Thankfully, we didn't have any issues with the paint colors in this room (unlike when we painted the bathroom) and painting was the main thing that this room needed. We got a rug that we have been eyeing up at Lowes for our room. To be honest, it's the most expensive rug we bought for the house because we're grownups and hopefully won't spill anything on it, unlike any other room in the house where tiny people inhabit it and the chance of spillage is 10000%. It's crazy soft. Worth every penny (especially since Lowes has a great Military Discount too!)


We rounded out the room with the same sheer white curtains we had at our old house and a few accessories. I got a tobacco box when we went Antique shopping for Mother's Day. I'm not going to lie, I have no idea why they are called tobacco boxes. I just know that someone local makes them and it supports small business (yay!). The best we can think of is that they are made from barn wood of old tobacco farms. Maybe? Maybe not? But if you come over to see the house, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. I also got the antique poetry book (from 1912) on our Antique trip too. There's also a birdhouse on Cor's nightstand from an antique shop when we were visiting Mississippi.

 The cute water pail came from Target and it's filled with Hydrangeas from Dollar Tree.


And that's it! Another perfect AFTER photo!

It's hard to believe how easily this room came together. Partially because we had such a great plan going in. We still have a few more things to add. We're getting a brand spanking new KING sized bed for our anniversary this month and ordered some bedding to go with it. We got these gray and white striped sheets and this lightweight white comforter to go along with it. We're also planning on adding in a celling fan and, like in all the rooms, changing out the doors.

We'll do a fun update when we get the new goods too!
