Our Master Bedroom Update
We moved into our home in April of last year and love [almost] everything about it! I started the interior updates with Edee’s room since we only had a few months until she was born. I decided our bedroom was next on the list and started it in November. It has taken me a few months to get all of the finishing touches done, but I can’t wait to share!
It all started with the paint color! Rhett wanted something more “moody” or as my mom thought “dungeon-esque”. When I started painting, I actually didn’t think it would be dark enough. Pro tip: wait to judge until you are totally done painting. Including ceiling!
All of our furniture came from Mathis Brothers in OKC, but we have had it for a few years now!
Bed pillows: Black Lumbar Throw, Faux Leather, White Quilted Fringe
We have had the art for years, too, so I cannot remember where it’s from!
I wanted to make our room feel cozy and like we were on vacation every time we walked in. I can’t even begin to tell you how long I looked at inspiration images before I realized that we needed a faux fireplace to give me the vibe I was looking for. We didn’t think we would actually use an electric fireplace insert, so we went with with the surround and candles for aesthetics. I found our fireplace on Facebook Marketplace for like $50 and painted it! It’s amazing what you can do with things when you use your imagination! Pro tip: if you have little kids or are planning to anchor something like this to the wall, attach a piece of wood to the back. This way you can screw it to the wall without having to remove any trim and it will still be level! We attached a 1x4 to the back, inset it from the sides a bit and painted it black so it will never be noticed!
The barn door was another custom build. You can 100% buy a barn door, but I’m a little extra and wanted the entire inside (towards the bathroom) to be mirror! The bathroom is next on my updating list, so I thought ahead for the best use of the door! We decided to change out our french doors for a barn door because they always seemed to be in the way.
One of my custom pieces is the dog kennel bench. My family owns a construction company, meaning I am extremely fortunate to get a whole bunch of my ideas built for the price of baby snuggles and moderate assistance. We used to keep the dogs in their travel kennels on our night stands for bedtime, so they needed something more permanent. I looked up ideas on Pinterest and came up with this! The top comes off and we put plastic “kennel trays” in the bottom for easy clean up if necessary! If you are planning to build your own or have own built, I recommend finding the tray first. Then figure out the other dimensions based off the kennel they use already.
These frames are from all over the place. I love that they are all just a little different so if I decide I want to add more photos down the road, I can just pull in any white frame! I had to get a close up shot of the photos because I am obsessed.
The lamp was Rhett’s grandmas and fit too perfectly in the room not to use it. And humidifier because it’s Oklahoma and the weather changes every day so we have to create our own environment!
