So my first big project of the year is tackling our master bedroom. Yay!! Since moving in to our house 10 years ago, we haven’t done a whole lot with the bedroom. We did replace the pink carpets and paint the lovely peach walls but other than that it has pretty much remained the same.
We have a fairly large bedroom and I have never really spent any time figuring out what to fill it with.
Boring, boring, boring. Matthew actually came in while I was taking pictures and asked why anyone would want to see pictures of my room. I guess I have to agree with him on this one. Sorry guys. These just serve as my BEFORE pictures!
We have a strange layout for our master bathroom as it is really just an extension of the bedroom {there is a little separate section for the toilet though!}
I do love my bath tub!
A couple of months ago, I created my bedroom/bathroom wish list. Since there is not a lot of free time around here, I am anticipating that this project might take a while. I’m hoping if I actually write it down, it might actually kick my butt in gear to get going on things! So here are some projects that you can expect to see around here in the next little while:
- paint the bedroom and bathroom {I’m going to be going gray!}
- paint the bathroom cabinets, replace hinges, and actually add some knobs
- new countertop and faucet
- new light fixtures {I have been wanting to replace the light fixtures since the day we moved in!}
- change the window treatments
- paint the furniture {I am thinking I will paint the bed, dresser, and end tables white. I would love a wrought iron bed but it is definitely not in the budget right now}
- create some new art work/photos
- feature wall behind the bed {I have a great idea in my head – just not sure how to get it done!}
- get a computer desk
- build something to hold my purses
- add trim around the windows
So since my photos are a little less than spectacular, I thought I would leave you with a few of my inspirational bedroom photos.
And in my dreams I would also have a fully stocked two story closet!
Any bedroom suggestions are welcome!!
I LOVE the Grey Color Scheme out there. You can do so much with it! It will be amazing whatever you do! Can’t wait to see! -Jen
I’m getting ready to tackle ours too!! It is so boring and blah!!!
Wow. I want that closer. Can’t wait to see what you end up doing.
that two story closet is insane, like having your own store!
all the best on your projects. it’ll be a challenge but so worth it!
I love the two story closet. I like the vision you have for your new room. I am in the process of doing mine too. Can’t wait to see what you come up with
The first thing I thought when I saw your bed was that it would be really pretty painted black. Your second inspiration picture has black furniture in it.. can’t wait to see what you come up with!
I am with you, if you’re going to dream then dream BIG! I ADORE THAT CLOSET!!!!!
Can’t wait to see the finished room. So many good ideas! Visiting from Whipperberry, hope you stop by to visit me too!

I love your bathroom. What is wrong with the counter top. If you want to see a bad counter you should see mine. Thanks for posting
This is very beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
I was so impressed of your work. That’s so neat.
