our master bedroom final reveal! finally! ~

I am pleased to be able to report that our master bedroom is completely done!  Finally!  I wish I had the energy and stamina that many of you possess when it comes to decorating, but I just don't!

But alas, here we are..............

 Note that one chair is missing from above photo.  That's because I am standing on it in the closet to get the picture!  

 Notice pup-pup making herself seen there!  She's always in the room with us!

You may remember from way back when, when I started talking about this room makeover, I mentioned a couple restrictions that the hubby put on me.  One, we have to re-use the bedroom suite.  Two, I was only allowed to paint the mirror and the two nightstands.  Below is the mirror, original to the bedroom suite, with a few coats of Eloquent Ivory by Behr and light distressing.  The bedroom furniture was originally purchased from Big Lots about 8 years ago.  It is a nice sturdy set and has held up well.  It was just a little dark with all of it crammed into a smallish master bedroom.  Lightening a few pieces with paint really helped.

 

 lamps / shades - Hobby Lobby

grey rose hurricane candleholders - Urban Farmhouse

dream art - Big Lots

I gave the same paint treatment to both nightstands and kept the original hardware....

 lamps - Home Goods

curtain panels - Lenda from IKEA, sheers - vintage

white ruffle bedding - Simply Shabby Chic from Target

I desperately needed to add a piece of furniture for extra linen storage and ultimately decided on the Hemnes armoire from IKEA.   A vintage European basket rests atop....

These beauties arrived in the mail this past week.....an early birthday present from my sweet mother-in-law.  They're perfect for the space and reflect my style just right.  Thanks Carol!

 The vintage looking fan was a Goodwill find!  Gotta love the Goodwill returned goods area!!

 I took this picture from the bathroom to show you the other artwork I did for the room.....

I had a whole stack of these chunky wood frames that I happened upon in a thrift store.  They were brand new, still in their original wrap from IKEA.  They started out in a pale grayish green color, so I lightly dry brushed them with white paint.  Then, I cut a piece of scrapbook paper that I liked to fit the opening, glue-dotted the old tin type letter to the paper and fitted it into the opening.

Here is a closer look.....notice the peacocks on the paper?

Ruffles were a must in this makeover!!

Here's another look at the jewelry area....

Yay!  Finally!  It's done!  

And I couldn't be happier with the end result!

Now, I'm beginning to plan a re-do of laundry room due to a purchase we made at the Springfield Antique Show a couple weekends ago. One project down, on to the next!  The story of many of our lives!

Thanks for visiting!

keep dreaming
