It all started with iPhone pictures that I took of my Master Bedroom nearly 4 years ago when I was on my lunch break from my Corporate job. I uploaded those images, which were less than perfect (especially since I probably had some ancient version of the iPhone back then) and I hit publish. Little did I know that within a week those pictures would be my most pinned images on my site.
I’m serious when I say the image quality was the worst. See for yourself. Then see the updated pics I did.
Big difference from the iPhone images to the camera images.
I was dumbfounded. Not because I didn’t love the bedroom. But the images were incredibly awful. LOL! Clearly I decorated the old bedroom before I knew a dang thing about photography.
So even though I know y’all loved the old master bedroom…it was dark and dreary. I wanted something bright and cheerful.

I enlisted my dad (of course) to do an entire wall of board and batten for me. I AM IN LOVE with how it turned out.
Every time that man does a project…I am in awe. He’s truly so talented.
I took notes of everything he did and I really want to share a tutorial with y’all…anyone interested in that? It’s hard because the dimensions would obviously not be the same unless your wall was the exact same as mine (which is unlikely). But I thought about sharing the trim pieces we used and a basic tutorial.

Another change to the room that made a huge impact was changing the position of my bed. I cornered it.
Yea, who’d a thunk it.
My friend Katie had an interior design person to her house one day and they told her to corner her bed. It gave me the urge to try it in our new bedroom and I must say…those interior design people really know a thing or two.

I was still dying to use the “love” mirror somewhere so above this Pier I chest was just perfect!

If you look closely, you’ll notice that we painted the ceiling a darker grey and added crown molding. Also via my dad.
The contrast between the light grey walls and dark grey ceiling is amplified with the white crown molding…and I heart that.

Most everything else in this bedroom makeover was stuff I already had, but was using in other rooms (minus the bedding).
I like to go around my house and steal things off the wall when I do makeovers. It keeps things new and fun…. andddddd free.

I even steal furniture from other rooms.
Like this old nursery glider? I mean, I’m sad I don’t have a baby to rock anymore, but happy I can repurpose the glider. Can I get a what-what!

Now when I walk in my bedroom it feels bright instead of dark.
I will admit, this has helped me not want to stay in bed all day everyday. Ha!

There you have it. The new master bedroom.
Let’s see how long it will stay this way before I’m ready for a change. LOL!
I tend to change my mind often. Hey…if you’re a woman? You know what I’m preaching.
