How To Create a Stylish Master Bedroom

Create a cozy and stylish master bedroom with this mood board as inspiration.

Our master bedroom has been the most neglected room in our house, well houses, for the past 10 years or so.

Between creating baby and kid rooms, moving from house to house, and knowing most were temporary, our master bedroom was in a constant state of make-do!

Finally, I’m over this queen size bed. I’m over this matchy-matchy black furniture. It’s past time to show this room some love.

In my true fashion, I’m in a state of overthinking and need to be a little more motivated to get this project underway. We have a guest staying with us in a week or so and need to move our current bed to the guest room.

As I put this mood board together, I realized that this is the exact color scheme I used in my office at the yellow house. I’m even considering the exact same paint color.

Master Bedroom Design Blank Slate

Here’s where this room began – a big, spacious blank slate. This was the state of this room when we moved into this house in October 2022.

This wall of windows provides lots of light, but that’s problematic when it’s time to sleep! Light-blocking curtains are a must!

There should be just enough space between the other two windows to fit a king-size bed. Don’t worry, I’ve measured and measured again!

Master Bedroom Current State

We have had this black bedroom suite for about 14 years.

When we purchased this set, we downsized from a California king to a queen, aware that we would be moving every few years with no guarantee we’d always have a master bedroom big enough for a California king.

Honestly, we didn’t measure very well back then so this black furniture overwhelmed the bedroom we put it in.

The classic sleigh bed drew us to this bed, but now that we’ve lived with the pain of making this bed with so little space at the foot of the bed to situate blankets and sheets – we’re ready to move to a footboard-less bed!

Stylish Master Bedroom Design

We’ll be implementing this design in phases.

The first phase clearly is upgrading to a king-size bed! Will be adding bed to cart shortly!

We already own this rug, which was purchased for our dining area, but was much too large for the space. Instead of returning it, we decided to use it to soften up the hardwood floors in our bedroom.

I wish we had video of my sons, husband and I attempting to get this rug under this very heavy bed! Not for the faint at heart, mildly OCD, tape measure-using perfectionist!

Down the road, we’ll be adding a board and batten detail around the whole room in either SW Peppercorn or SW Grizzle Gray or Magnolia Home Coffee Nook! With so much light from the windows, I’m confident this room can handle the dark moody accent walls.

And I’m swooning over these blush pink velvety curtains! When I fell in love with these, I realized I was going back to my old home office roots! You can see how well that one turned out HERE!

I’m super excited to get started. Since we’re in the height of track season, this will be a very, very slow and gradual process.

In the meantime, I’m just gonna have to learn to be content with other places in the house being a disaster!

Hang in there with me as we attempt to make this bedroom transformation happen under budget and before the year ends! Come back next Wednesday for a progress check!

Curious about the final result of this project? Hop over to see it HERE!

I crave a simple, chaos free life, but have 4 kids, a full time job and a husband who works and coaches high school XC and Track, and a 1 year old Cavapoo! As I get older, I'm learning to better embrace the chaos and holding onto a 'good enough' mentality. Let's learn to coordinate our chaos together!

Merry Christmas, friends! Christmas morning look Merry Christmas, friends! 

Christmas morning looks different with a bunch of teenagers! We had to wake them up to open presents, and mainly because the monkey bread was getting cold! 

They all got some new “drip” and other random wrapped gifts! 

Wishing you a slow Christmas Day with your loved ones today!
The one goal I had before the new school year star The one goal I had before the new school year started was to turn this wall into a place where the kids could hang their backpacks! 

Anyone else tired of their kids dropping backpacks wherever they darn well please? 

Floors
Kitchen counter
Dining room table
Comfy chair in the living room

Not at my house - at least not any more - and when the main offenders remember there are now hooks for their backpacks. 

I’m in love! 🥰 

Even the dog has to hang his harness and leash up now!

I’ve been working for the weekend? How ‘bout y I’ve been working for the weekend? How ‘bout you?

Anyone have a living room you don’t really live in? 

That was us until last week! 

An uncomfortable couch and seating arrangement is one way to keep everyone out of the living room! 

Not any more!

Our new sectional is a draw to have people linger in the living room!

My only regret in this whole thing is not buying this sectional earlier and maybe spending a lot of my life not using much color in my house! 

You’ll find us sprawled out watching the WCWS this weekend right here on this goldish couch!

What are you watching these days?

It’s the beginning of a weekend all about rememb It’s the beginning of a weekend all about remembering the sacrifices of men and women who have served our country at the cost of their lives. We will never forget or take their sacrifices for granted. 

As a way of remembering, let’s deck our homes in red, white and blue for the next few weeks. 

On the blog, I share some easy ways to do just that!

I gave myself about two weeks to transform my son’s room before he came home for the summer after his first year away at @milliganuniversity. 

Every waking moment of “free time” I’ve had, I’ve spent painting, walking 3 flights of stairs to cut and recut 1x2s for this blue wall, and hoping I actually walked into the right store to pick up this buffalo print! 

I love this transformation so much! Can’t wait for him to spend the summer under our roof.  Looks like he may be adding a set of crutches as a decor element. I may have to paint them blue!

Happy Monday! I love this reminder of Grace upon Happy Monday! 

I love this reminder of Grace upon Grace. 

It’s impossible to “do it all.” And ALL means different things to different people. 

We’ve got to set reasonable expectations of ourselves and our families or we will live in constant defeat. 

As a perfectionist, giving myself grace is hard, but I’m working on it! 

Where are you going to give yourself grace this week?

I’ve spent a lot of time lately organizing hidde I’ve spent a lot of time lately organizing hidden spaces in my house. We’ve lived in this house for about 16 months. Seems much longer! 

So many closets and drawers that we have just thrown things in and let them live there for the time being. 

Settling into a home takes time and trial and error. It’s an ongoing, ever changing process!

It requires figuring out how we use the space.
Where we tend to set things down.
Where our clutter tends to gather. 
Who needs access to what and when!

So beware closets, drawers and things hiding under beds and in corners of closets - I’m coming for you!
