Master Bedroom Makeover Reveal

My master bedroom makeover is finally complete! You’ve been so very patient while I finished every little step along the way, but I hope you think the reveal is well worth the wait. It looks so different from before, it’s all light and airy and just my style. I have no idea what style to call it, it’s just me. A little farmhouse, a little cottagey, a few modern touches, and a lot of handmade goodness all around. As with all of my room makeovers, I start by choosing my colors, and then pretty much just go with my gut after that. I gravitate towards what I love and try to walk away from anything that doesn’t make my heart sing. But this room definitely makes my heart sing. Are you ready for the grand tour?

master bedroom makeover

Before we jump in, let’s look at where I started.

master bedroom before

I was comfortable, but not at all my style anymore. Three years ago I was all about some coastal style, but the more I lived with it, the less I liked it. And, that room was just a room that had decor and was filled with leftover bits, because we didn’t really have a budget, but we wanted a room that was somewhat pulled together. This was my attempt at making do. 

Glidden Paint

So first I broke out the paint. Out with the blue, in with the white. Ahhh! Picking the right Glidden® paint white was so simple, because they don’t have 15 million options, only a few perfect shades to choose from. My choice? White on White. It’s a nice white without yellow undertones. It’s one of the best whites ever. 

cottage style master bedroom

 After I painted it all out, I put in new floors. Dark floors + white walls = the perfect combo.

master bedroom makeover

 I have no idea what made me decide to do an emerald, mustard, gray combo, but the colors just work together so well that I’m going with it 🙂

shabby creek master bedroom

We did install a plank wall behind the bed for the focal wall. Simple 12 inch wide strips of 1/4 inch plywood nailed to the wall with a 1/8 inch gap. Behind the planks I painted the wall Eeyore’s Rain Cloud, a Disney Paint color by Glidden paint; because I wanted the gaps to really pop out. And I didn’t want that blue to show through. A simple 30 minute paint job was all it took to give the plank wall just another layer of perfection. Want a better look at the color? I used the leftover paint to give the nightstands a new coat of the pretty gray.

plank style wall

The ceiling, trim, doors and walls were all painted Glidden paint’s White on White. I like the look of the purely clean slate.

bedroom reading nook

Before the makeover I didn’t have room for a chair in here, but I took out three pieces of furniture that were never used and magically I had room for a reading nook. Love it when that happens.

This is the life canvas

Yeah, that canvas pretty much sums up how I feel about waking up in this room every single day. 

Thanks to Glidden paint for partnering with me on this post. I’m so glad they pushed me creatively to make another room come to life in our home.

    Beautiful bedroom. Our kitchen is going to be white, dark wood floors, charcoal and aqua. I am loving the combo in your bedroom and can’t wait to see our finished kitchen. Is that quilt from Target? I have had my eye on the dark blue version if so. Do you love it, and how does it wash?

      Thank you! They’re outdoor lights we found at Lowe’s, we just added a pull string adapter you can find in the lighting section. You screw it into the bulb socket and it turns any light into a pull string 🙂

        Going with the light theme, I’m wanting to do this same thing in my master bedroom, but my husband is saying it’s too tricky! How do you power the lights? Are you guys lucky enough to have plug sockets right by your bed and just ran your power up the wall, or did you do something else to get power there!?

    I have a bedroom that was previously my son’s, but is now becoming a guest room. My grandmother will be visiting us for 3 weeks later this fall and I would love to repaint the room for her visit. Take a boys room done in Seahawk Football colors and turn it into something inviting for guests. The White on White sounds like a perfect paint to try. Fresh, light, and inviting.

    I’ve painted every room in the house, except my small home office (which is the proverbial tiny third bedroom in a small brick ranch that we’ve cottaged up on the outside), that is painted that apartment rental beige/cream white. It’s boring and I think it effects my creativity! But I’m challenged to choose a color – I think a red (which blue undertones) would be great, but that is sort of a dated look. I don’t want anything too soothing or pastelly. For the rest of my house, it’s quite a mixed bag of colors – my newly updated kitchen (silestone counters and a terra cotta tile floor (laminate but laid like tile with grout, and new appliances in black) is a Tuscan yellow/tangerine. Living rm is a coffee and cream brown – we also painted the ceilings to make the ceilings look higher – it works. One bedroom is a shimmering gold/yellow, the other is a pale pink cherry blossom shade, the bath has those black/yellow subway tiling from the 50s – we painted the walls a cream to tone it down, but my accessories are yellow/grey/black and white. this has been a challenge color mix. The fam room and laundry are turquoise. in the fam room, three walls are that 50s knotty pine with orangy tones. we like the rustic look of it. the accent wall is the turquoise. So the office is a breezeway of sorts between the coffee colored living rm and the fam room. (sorry, didn’t mean to write a book!)

    Beautiful bedroom! We’ve lived in our house going on 14 years, and have never painted even one single room, and trust me, our whole house needs refreshing. I think what’s been holding me back is my desire for all white woodwork, and I’ve lived in fear of making a big mistake in choosing the wrong white paint. Glidden’s White on White sounds perfect! And the perfect place to start!

    I’m so inspired by your room, from the feature wall to the color combination….. I have my kids room ready to turn into a great inviting guest room, as the last one will be moving out within days….. Instead of leaving it as their room and walking by with sadness because they are no longer there….. It’s my plan to make it the best ever guest room, for them to come back to, and for other friends and family to use…..

    I am in the process of making my own king size headboard out of an old door (or maybe 2!) and am going with the same teal/blue color you have in your curtains. Just a quick question, do you think a dark red would go with that color? We have 2 red wall hangings that have more of a distressed look about them, so I’d like to keep them just to save $ on new decore…

    Oh my I love it and that’s probably because this is my room! The set up the style and even down to the pattern on the curtains! Honestly speaking.. My room looks just like this one except my curtains goes all the way across the wall at the head of the bed, there are book cases in front of my other wall and no headboard. My curtains are grey and my walls are yellow, my comforter has the green yellow white and grey and I got it from TARGET! Only idea that I didn’t have and will be using is the color of the dresser. Mine is in the same location but it is currently brown. I was going to paint it white to match the bookcases but now it will definitely be the green color!

    Thanks!

    I like your blog, just have an odd comment. Many bloggers I’ve visited in the past year employ that exact pattern – the one on the curtains in this room, in some large piece in their home (curtains, large rug, etc). It’s some kind of “trend” perhaps. It appears acroos many blogs, no matter what style the blogger otherwise uses. Not sure why.
