One Room Challenge Week 6 - {Master Bedroom Reveal!}

Thursday, November 12, 2015

Reveal day is here!  I have followed along in years past with other participants as they made over spaces and have been truly inspired!  So this year when I saw that Linda at Calling it Home had started the fall One Room Challenge and opened it up to guest participants, I had to get in on the action.  Of course, it totally helped that I had already been musing about making over my Master Bedroom.  But without the push of working alongside the other guest participants, I would have never pushed forward to complete it in such a short time.

All of that being said, I can't wait to see what everyone else has done.  I'm already in love with Sherry's makeover over at Design Indulgence. It's full of neutrals and deep charcoals, which always make my heart beat fast!  And did you also see Cassie's high gloss navy blue built-ins over at Hi Sugarplum?!!  I'm in love!  I may have to repaint my dining room shelves, haha!  But I will save that for another time.  If you're here, you probably want to see how my Master Bedroom turned out, and I can't wait to show you!  Come take a peek!

















I had forgotten about this little table.  It was covered with a tablecloth, but I think it was the first piece of furniture I ever bought from an antiques store.  I love the little scallop detail around the edges.  It ended up being the perfect height and scale for a lamp and plant, while still leaving room to put down a cup of tea and something to read.








The project evolved from my original design board, but I love the results.  It's been quite a change from six weeks ago.




I'm especially loving that the AV components sort of blend into this new/old dresser, since they're all black.  I still have plans for a built-in, but this is such an improvement! :) 


I also ended up not re-using the seafan art.  They didn't seem to go with the bird motif, for one.  But  also when I originally put them together, I had them 'professionally' framed.   The good news is that Hobby Lobby does a good job because I couldn't get the glass out of the frame!  I didn't want to break the glass, so that project is on a back burner for another room.

I'll be back to share sources and some more of my favorites from the One Room Challenge!

  5. So pretty! I love the sense of calm, and how so much interest comes from texture--the wood finish on the end tables contrasting with the mercury glass lamps, the tufting, the woven elements. It really looks great!

  9. Your room came out great! I love the paint color on the walls first...everything you've picked out is just perfect. Your floor plan looks so similar to our master. I've thought of putting chairs in the same spot and haven't yet. Now I really want to! ;)

  15. Hi Melanie! I am so glad you loved my room:) You did a great job on your makeover also! Yes....painting the dresser really helped with the TV area. The bird pictures look great and love the neutrals [you know I love these colors!], The headboard and small chest add just the right amount of neutral and wood to the space. Congrats on a beautiful Job!

  16. I am a bird lover too, so I adore the style of your room! I want to do something very similar in our master I think. Random question.....do you have a low profile or regular box spring/platform with your bed? That is just like the bed I want and I am fixing to order a new mattress and box spring so I wasn't sure if the normal 9" would be too tall. Thanks!
