Bedroom Spark

All this talk about updating our master bedroom really isn't fair if I'm not going to show you any pictures, now is it?

Just a heads up, it's semi-clean/picked up, but definitely not styled.  We'll save that for when I make those last few updates!

I have a few ideas in mind, but I also have a few things I can't quite figure out what to do with.  If you feel like piping in on some ideas feel free!

Let me take ya through it, mmmk?!

Then:
We had a lot of white; curtains, closet doors & bedding, the three biggest things in the room.  Plus the white quilt was getting filthy, like wouldn't even get white with bleach anymore {that was probably way too much info}. So we changed out the bedding over Christmas.

Now:

Then:
In front of the fire place was wasted space, so I made an upholstered bench {details to come}.  I also added some things to our mantle.

Now:
{Again, not styled, hence the water bottle on the bed and shoe box on the hamper.}

Then:

Now:

Here are some more pictures and details.

Here are where the questions start.  All the pieces in our room were/are different woods.  That's one reason we're wanting to paint everything.

I started on this dresser, and, well...never got around to painting the drawers.
First question:
Would you finish painting the whole thing blue, or would you switch it up and go with the new green color I told you about here?

Here's the hub's nightstand.  It's kind of sad...well, really sad now that I stole two of the knobs for another piece of furniture.  {I'm actually not even sure he knows, he's never mentioned not having them...}
I think I'm going to paint the nightstand white, like mine.  That part of the wall above the nightstand is bare and I can't decide if that's nice and clutter free or lacking interest...?

So there ya have it, our master bedroom, as is.  We really do like it, but I just want some green to add some balance in the sea of blue.

Let me hear it!

  1. i love the bedding and love that you have a mantle in there! awesome! our bed sits in front of a window, too- always makes things a little more challenging!

  2. It's really coming along! I love the bench and I'm super jealous that you have a fireplace in your bedroom.

    I vote for blue on the dresser drawers but maybe slightly distressed. Definitely paint the side table white.

  3. I really love all of your changes. Are you thinking of leaving the blue you already painted and just painting the drawers green? If you're going to paint it green I think I'd paint the whole thing green. And I think I'd add something on the walls where the nightstands are...maybe a tall mirror?

  4. Your room is really coming along, I love the changes you have made so far. The new bedding really pops against the light blue walls and white window treatments. I think the dresser will look really nice if you paint it blue and bring in the green through accessories. I agree, I think you need something behind your husband's night stand. Great work Jessamie.

  5. What a lovely, cozy room! Love the restful blue walls. I covet that mirror! Have you considered trying your bed on a bit of an angle? (Maybe 'your' corner of the headboard at the closest edge of the window molding?) I would paint the dresser a flat black (really!). It would coordinate the lamps (unless I'm not seeing the metal finish corectly),the drawer pulls from your white nightstand,graphic picture frames over the fireplace, and black frame on the wall near the doorway.

  7. I don't think I would've even noticed that it wasn't styled...what does that say about me??? (c: I love the direction you're going in, I can't wait to see it all put together! And don't worry, I know *exactly* what you mean about the white comforter...I don't think I'll make that mistake again!!!
