MASTER BEDROOM RESTYLE

Hi Everyone,
I finally have pictures of the changes I've made in the master.
I took these at the beginning of last week but then had
problems downloading the photos ~ frustrating, I tell you!
Anyway, here they are.

This first picture is kind of what started it all.
I purchased this lamp from Pottery Barn for our family room
but I didn't really like it in there so I tried it in our bedroom.
It gave the room a much lighter look that I really liked so
that inspired more changes ~ you all know how that goes, right?


In the picture below, you can see the lamps we had previously.

Here is what the room looks like now.

I have always liked the look of plates above the bed since they can kind of mimic the curve of the headboard so that's what I did again.

Do you think I need to add a couple more plates or do you
think these three are enough?


My comforter is reversible which is kind of nice for an easy change occasionally.





I moved this bench from the foyer to the end of the bed.
It's not a very deep bench so it works well in this spot.
I haven't run into it in the middle of the night yet!

I tucked a wire basket under the bench.
I seem to have a thing for wire baskets ~
just couldn't resist this one when I saw it at
 Homegoods ~ need to stop going there!!


There he is, Mr. Large and in Charge! 
~ he's got it all under control  ; )  

Remember this picture of the Hydrangea that I

I have it hanging from a ribbon, simply by itself.


The armoire was at an angle in the corner so
I moved it flat against the wall just for a change.

That left a large space on the wall to the right of the armoire
so that is when I came up with the idea of painting my coat rack.
  You can see the before here.
I'm happy with how it turned out and it does a 
good job of filling in that space.


I really like the simplicity of this room.
I seem to be drawn towards that lately.
I think it's because our house gets so cluttered with
schoolwork, sports gear, electronic gadgets, etc.
I really enjoy a calm, uncluttered space when I can get it.


I have to tell you that buying the lamps from Pottery Barn
was a real splurge for me.  I rarely buy anything there because
of the prices.  These were $99 each which seemed like 
a whole lot once I bought two of them.
I do really like them though, and I think I will 
use them for a long time.

Have you splurged on anything lately?

Thank you for coming by to see my bedroom changes!
I hope you have a great week!!

    I love it! It's so pretty and restful. I'm sure you will use those lamps for years, so don't feel anxious about it!

  2. Love your "new" bedroom, Joanne! It really looks great.

    You don't even want to know how I have splurged lately, no way.

    I love the plates above your bed - I don't think you need more, but maybe just maybe seperate them a little more? I think that could work to your liking, otherwise they look small and in need of more, but I think it's just a fix of spreading out a little bit.

    Keep up the good work, lovin it all!

  3. I love your changes. Simple is good and it does look serene and comfortable as a bedroom should be-- a sort of retreat from the rest of the house. I like the three plates (i have similar over our bed) and if you are looking to be simple I think three is nice. otherwise you could add two more to follow the curve. And I love a bench or hopechest at the end of the bed..it's great for extra pillows at night or just whatever else you cast off the bed. It all looks great! And sometimes its good to have a treat and those PB lamps look great!

  7. Heavens JoAnne, Your room is so pretty, it must be so nice to go in there at night or even for a day time nap. I'd love it. There are so many things in your room I'm crazy about I'd be here all night enumerating them all.
    Think the 3 plates over the bed are perfect. Not too much, not too little. Love Hydrangea picture.
    I love that wire basket under the bench. We used to make benches like that and are going to start making then again. That was one of our best sellers when we lived in MT.
    We've been able to get several pallets and other good lumber so are going to keep ourselves busy making things. Hopefully we'll find a good market so we can sell to supplement our SS. It's good for both of us to keep busy and thinking.
    We're not ones to sit around watching tv all day/night. Winter time (we live in Western CO, close to UT border), we stay in more but still keep pretty busy one way or another. We're both in early 70's, in pretty good health. Love making things and seeing them come to fruition.
    Been looking forward to seeing your refurbishing in your master, you sure did a great job it's so peaceful looking. Happy Days

  17. JoAnne,

    What a pretty room! I love the soft blue and cream hues, the fabrics, the lamps and the plates, which for me, are the most charming accessory. I like the three. Your honey coloured armoire is divine and the room feels very French to me. Thanks for sharing this refreshingly chic restyle!

  20. Hi there JoAnne, your bedroom makeover looks fantastic.

    I came here via google search for "Sandstone Cove" because I was curious what it would look like in a bedroom. Did you end up sticking with that paint color or switching to the more cream-colored one ("Cozy Cottage")?

  21. Your master looks so light and fresh but still very cozy.

  23. JoAnne, your bedroom is charming. Very much a cottage bedroom. I love the natural wood furniture paired with the white. It makes for a warm and inviting space. Beautiful armoire. Really like it a lot. All your accessories are perfect. The painted coat rack is to die for. I'm so glad you shared this at Every Room In The House. I'm so inspired, and I know others will be, too. Come back tomorrow and link up again at the April get together. We'll be partying in the bathroom. :) Hugs ~ Nancy P.S. Your About page is so nicely done. That's something I must add to my blog.

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre
