Pals, for an excellent whereas now, I’ve been gathering inspiration for a main bedroom makeover & it’s time to share my ideas with you!
On the left under is a glimpse (earlier than filming days) of the primary improve to our bed room from 2021. It was a plain white field with historical carpet, plastic builder-grade blinds, and a ceiling fan with extra presence than I like.
I used to be so prepared for a change that I ordered curtains from Amazon with out studying the product description fastidiously. And, I couldn’t wait to hold them as you’ll be able to see… I’m satisfied now that they had been bathe curtains and I actually detested them! The one factor that they had going was the colour. They had been shiny, too brief, had the grommet hanging system, and so they had been plastic lined…ugh. It will possibly solely get higher from right here!
We began with portray the ceiling and three of the partitions a pleasant creamy white with one wall a lightweight sky blue accent. That patch you see is the place Matt eliminated the 1960’s unique intercom system!
We additionally took this chance to re-shelve the closet to higher go well with our wants. Having a freshly painted, organized closet is such a blessing!
On the blue accent wall we hung a beautiful thrifted gallery wall with mountain work. This was such a beautiful view to get up to! so, for those who don’t have an incredible view ~ make one!
This primary effort was a drastic enchancment, however… since then I’ve had a number of new concepts cross my design path! Listed below are the highest two bedrooms which might be tickling my design creativeness.
I’ve admired this serene bed room designed by Tessa Foley from the weblog 9 and Sixteen Residence. You will discover her work at tessafoleyinteriors.com. This picture is from the guide Nora Murphy’s Nation Home Type. The colour palette of lotions, greens, and blue drew my eye in addition to the brass touches, vintage dresser, and beautiful work. It has the sensation of a easy nation bed room the place items have been collected or inherited over time, whereas nonetheless feeling as luxurious as a personal getaway. This can be a feeling I’d most wish to seize for our bed room.
Right here is one other angle of the identical bed room. To me, a part of what feels luxurious is the bouquet of recent flowers on the bedside desk, and the straightforward pleasure of an private studying mild that may be switched off from the mattress…
Right here is the opposite bed room influencing the appear and feel of the house I’d wish to create for Matt and me. This dreamy bed room is featured in The Properly Adorned Residence: Making Luxurious Livable, a guide by inside designer Cathy Kincaid. The sunshine, spacious feeling, subdued sample mixing, and opulent use of materials encourage me.
A very long time buddy of mine from Texas gave me two units of totally lined white linen pinch-pleat drapes! These are my favourite fashion of window dressing to high the bamboo blinds, so luxurious and one thing I’m positive wouldn’t have been in our finances!
Along with the “brass” wanting French return curtain rod I additionally discovered these brass ring clips from Amazon to hold the curtains.
Underneath the linen drapes we layered in our favourite Bamboo Blinds that we now have ion each room of the home. They add such a rustic feeling with the pure woven texture. I like how simply they mix into the fashion of no matter room they’re in and the way practical they’re.
Then, to create a temper board with objects we now have or are hoping to come back throughout. Thus far, we now have discovered the vintage Eastlake chest of drawers on Market, the proper piece for a bedside desk. This chest of drawers has turn into one in every of my favourite items of furnishings in our house!
Right here is the 2025 cottage fashion progress to this point, and I’m wanting ahead to sharing the subsequent layer as we transfer in the direction of our imaginative and prescient. This can be a good canvas so as to add layers of English nation home fashion to! For the time being, I’ll proceed attempting to find particular items on-line and in thrift/vintage outlets. I’m excited to share the subsequent part quickly! Till subsequent time,
Take Care,
