One Room Challenge: Master Bedroom Reveal

It's reveal day! Yea! I've been working on a makeover of our master bedroom the last six weeks and I'm excited to share with you the changes. Some late nights and weekends of work have paid off to get our room decorated. Thank you for all of you who have been so kind with your comments and thank you to Linda for hosting another inspiring challenge.  Without this deadline our room would still look the way it was, so it was worth it! I will keep this brief since you're all here for pictures. Let's take a turn about the room shall we?

Let's see a quick reminder of what the room looked like before:

Our room was already painted one of my favorite colors, Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue. We really didn't have much furniture or any art work and the curtains needed to be lengthened. It was great to start with a somewhat blank canvas. With the help of thrift stores, Craigslist and some DIYs we were able to makeover our bedroom. 

You can catch up on the progress of this room with these posts:

I love how our DIY headboard and bench turned out. 

DIY shadow box frames and shell art give our room that coastal feel. We love to go to the beach in the summer and collect shells, most of these are one's I've collected. I sanded our dresser and put on some lime wax to give it a more natural look.

On the other side of the room we now have pictures up. I decided to go with all black frames and black and white pictures.

The armoire was a steal on Craigslist and got painted white, but I kept the original hardware, which is a crest shape.

This wall was looking pretty blank before. We moved the dresser to the other side of the room and put the armoire in it's place. With such a long wall I broke it up with a small desk and a side chair (free from my friend). The pictures on the wall really make it feel more inviting.

I can't wait to see what the other One Room Challengers came up with. I know it's going to be so good! Yesterday, was also inspiring with the other designers. Thanks for stopping by! Here's a list of my sources and other rooms I've done.

Master Bedroom: One Room Challenge Week 3

It's week three and the half way mark for the One Room Challenge. You can see my design plan and week two. There is still so much to do. Acckk! There are several DIY projects we're working on and those take awhile, but somehow I know it will all get done. Here's the low down:

This week, I switched out our lamps for these tall beauties. I scored these awhile ago at a thrift store andI had painted them yellow and recently I painted them a gray. What do you think? Should I keep them gray or give them a pop of coral? I also got a great deal on the lampshades at Target. They had all their lampshades on sale the other day, so if you need something like that, you'll find a good price. I also got some beautiful baskets on sale at JoAnn's. These side tables are also really old. Steve's grandfather gave them to us and they were looking pretty shabby but with a little paint and fixing they make the perfect side tables.

This week we cut out the shape of our headboard.  It will get covered and hung this week. Anyone can make this headboard and I'm excited to show you how we did it.

Also, this week the hubs made shadow boxes. I haven't determined if we will be putting three of these with shells above our bed or on another wall. I'll post soon how these were made.

                        The dresser is getting de-glossed and lime waxed and it's looking good.

Here are some of the fabrics I will be using for pillows. The blue toile print is a beautiful Pottery Barn quilt I will probably use at the bottom of our bed (we've had this for awhile). I still need to get fabric to lengthen the curtains.

I also ordered a pillow from this Etsy store with this gorgeous Schumacher fabric. Love! That's it for me this week. Off to work on some projects! Thanks for checking in with the progress of our room. I will be posting all tutorials soon. Go check out more amazing bloggers who are doing the ORC, they will be showing their progress too.
