Master Bedroom Makeover: Putting it All Together

Master Bedroom Makeover

Day 12: Odds & Ends and Putting it All Together

** Note: This post is part of a 12-step series in my master bedroom makeover. Links to the other (previous) steps are listed at the end of this post.

 

Welp, this is the day it all comes together. My goal was to do this makeover for <$200. I thought it would be easy. Turned out to be harder than I thought. I'll break down the budget for you a little later in this post. First let's enjoy some photos, shall we?

This has been a lovely experience, changing up a room so rapidly so that I can feel immediate gratification. I'm sure that some things will change over time; honestly, some things have already changed since I posted about them. That's the way design works, isn't it?

Change it up to work with your life.

So. Pop yourself some corn, sit back, and enjoy the quantitudinous photographic montage that is my husband's and my new master bedroom.

Here's where we started, remember?

 And here's where we are today:

I can't get enough of this duvet cover, you guys. To me, all-white ruching is the perfect touch in the room. Maybe a little feminine, but I tried to de-girlify other areas to strike a balance. Like with the burlap.

 

It's a small room, as far as masters go, but I love how it seems more spacious now. A more functional layout and a tighter and lighter color palette made that happen, I think.

 

Clipped the dead reeds from my front yard just this morning. Aren't they pretty here?

I like the various shades and textures of white and ivory here. For me, it adds depth and interest.

 

The golden butterfly is for my earrings and hair elastics at the end of the day when I'm too tired to get out of bed and put them away. Don't tell me that doesn't happen to you.

Embroidered pillowcases.

My husband's side of the bed. More masculine, but still works with the room overall.

 

Switched out the standard Ikea issue knobs.

 

I love our bed. Really and truly. Love it!

Budget breakdown:

- Wall paint 1 gallon $28

- Curtain fabric $36

- Burlap $15

- Curtain knobs $12

- Headboard fabric $30

- Headboard upholstery nails/tacks $15 (bonus: I have leftovers)

- Misc. fabric $25 (bonus: leftovers)

- Chandelier supplies $20 (bonus: leftovers)

- Duvet cover $35 (2 flat sheets + grosgrain ribbon)

- Spray paint for vanity chair $4

- Handles for tray $5

- Everything else: Reused/repurposed FREE!

TOTAL: $225

Sounds corny, probably, but I smile every time I walk by and/or into our bedroom now. Absolutely worth it.

 

Annnnd, one more time. Just for kicks:

Hooray for the power of a makeover!
