Master Bedroom Refresh [REVEAL]

If you’ve been following my blog lately, you know that I’ve been in the process of “refreshing” my Master Bedroom.  The technical way of saying, I was already tired of the design I put together for it a year and half ago and wanted something different.  But I wasn’t going to get any new furniture  (I know I’m crazy, but not that crazy!), just new accessories to lighten it up.  I finally got around to taking photos of the finished room and I’m finally here to share them with you!

Here’s the digital design board I put together a few months ago when I started this project.

My main goals in the refresh were:

1. To lighten up the whole space
2. Remove a lot of the brown
3. Bring in some blue

Again, it’s the same bed, same night stands, and same dressers we currently have.  The only new “furniture” purchase was the bench, if it even counts.

Here are my progress posts on the room:

Master Bedroom Updates & DIY Curtains

I wanted to include a floor plan of our bedroom as well so you can get an idea of the layout.

Here’s our bedroom when we first moved into our house in early 2013.  It was transplanted from our first home and we actually had the teal & brown scheme ever since 2009.  Gag.

Here’s our room when I completely made it over in early 2014.  (You can read more about that here.)

Let me just say that I didn’t hate our room the way it was.  I really liked the fundamental elements of it.  I am still completely in love with our new bed and my thrift store nightstand finds.  And even the gold sunburst mirror.  But I just didn’t like how everything was so beige and brown and dark.  The mirror blended in with the wall, the nightstands looked green most of the time, and it was overall just “blah” to me.  I wanted something much lighter, brighter, and more cheery.  I understand that a lot of people will say “but it looked so good already, why did you have to change it?”  And I get that.  But when my passion is design, I get bored with the same ol’ and thrive on making changes.  Plus I never want to run out of projects 🙂

And here’s the beginning of the AFTER photos.  (The door is on the right side of this picture for reference.)
