Our master bedroom is finished! Well for now, of course there are a few more things I have planned for it...Here is the before:
And the after again...
I tried to create a sort of beachy look combined with a farmhouse feel. I wanted the room to look pretty but also comfortable. We painted the walls Sea Foam by Benjamin Moore. My husband put a lot of effort into the beautiful beadboard ceiling, I love it so much! You can see the before of the ceiling here. Of course we were on a small budget so the carpet had to stay, but I don't mind it because at least it is new, clean and neutral. We bought our bed and dresser when we first moved into our house. I love how the wood warms up the room.
I was initially going to look for a nice bedside table but once we decided to do the ceiling we had no money in the budget so we took this old drop leaf table from our basement and painted it white. The vintage mirror was a $5 Kijiji purchase, hung with ribbon that was used to wrap the package containing the driftwood sailboat below, from White Flower Farmhouse. Even their parcels are beautiful to look at!
These built-ins were one of our favourite features when we first saw our house. We painted them a bright semi-gloss white and changed the hardware to glass knobs. I was initially looking for glass handles, but knobs are much cheaper and I think they look just as pretty. The milk glass vases were $1.50 for all three. The baskets are from Ikea.
We moved this mirror from our living room into the bedroom, I think it fits perfectly here and I love how it reflects so much light from the window. It is from the lovely City.Cottage store.
We also moved this little table from our living room since Layla has been able to lift it! The chair is from the Ikea as-is section. I spent a few Monday mornings in January looking for this chair in the as-is (Monday is the best time since all the weekend returns are stocked then).
We found the piece of salvage above the bed for $20 and painted it white. I was so happy with how perfectly it fit above the bed. The chandelier is from Home Depot and the duvet cover was a Christmas gift from my husband. It is the Pottery Barn Ruched Duvet, but he purchased it less than half price from Ebay. I made the bedskirt and euro shams myself, more on that and the other details in another post!
I hope you all have a great weekend, the Aberfoyle Antique Market opens this weekend and we are hoping to go!Linking this post to Donna's Saturday Night Special
