Fresh Start – Fresh Bedding

As mentioned earlier this week one of my house goals this year is to finally get my master bedroom in order!  For whatever reason I’ve had trouble sticking to do a design plan in this space.  The ceiling is high and the room is pretty large, and I’ve struggled with how to really utilize the size and height whilst creating a comforting, cozy place to land at the end of the day.  After a year of waffling, I think I’ve finally decided on a plan that feels right, and I’m excited to see it come together!  As usual with a bedroom design, I always start with the bed.  We’ve had our four poster bed for over 12 years now. While it’s far from “trendy” it’s a classic look I’ve yet to tire of, though bedding helps to give it more of a modern look.  It’s so nice to start this bedroom design with fresh bedding!

Black, White & Blush

My color crush on blush is still going strong.  This space is going to be heavy on the neutrals, with a good dose of black and white, lots of pattern and texture and just a few pops of blush…..seeing as how this is the Mister’s space as well.  😉  The good thing for me is he’s not afraid of a little pink.  Adding in some more masculine elements like the black and gold reading lamps and the black ceiling, I intend to do at some point, help to counterbalance the femininity.

This simple, classic duvet cover from Crane & Canopy really sets the tone for the design plan.  I love the contrast of the black border!  What’s nice about white bedding is that it leaves room for color changes.  If/when I tire of blush it’ll be easy to make a change.

The mongolian pillows add a touch of color and texture.  They bring in a warm, modern vibe.  I found the black leather lumbar at HomeGoods.  It adds a little edgy-ness to the mostly casual, classic look.   Oh, and I refuse to take down this little wreath, the last bit of holiday decor still up in my home.  It just may stay up all year.  Miniature boxwood wreaths are my favorite!

Design Plans and Progress

The room is one large rectangle, so I’m planning to create a small sitting area on the other end.  It’ll be nice to have a spot to sit and read, or more likely fold laundry. #momlife

It took me over a year to source night stands.  No lie, I lived with a cardboard box as a night stand in here for a solid 18 months!   Our bed is really high off the ground, and I knew I wanted something with drawers for extra storage.  Patience in design can be really hard, but taking the time to find exactly what you want and saving up for the right pieces is always so rewarding.  I’m in love with these beauties I found at a local store, Celadon.  While I love the look of mixed wood tones, I’m considering painting the bed a glossy black.  Thoughts?

So here’s where I am at this point.  Making a little progress at the end of 2016 has motivated me to push forward!  I switched out the ceiling fan for this basket pendant, also from Celadon.  Plans in the works call for painting the walls, I’m thinking of going white.  I’ll also be painting the ceiling black, bringing in curtain panels, a bench for the foot of the bed, smallish coffee table for the sitting area, art and accessories…….I’m so ready after living in this house for a year and a half to have a cozy space for us to end our day!
