Finally Starting on our Master Bedroom

April 26, 2018

This is the first time we’re showing you a glimpse inside our master bedroom. Only because, well, there really wasn’t anything to show before. We moved in with a bed frame, bedding that has since been replaced, and a dresser that wasn’t meant to go in our room (and is still there). We started focusing on other parts of our home and neglected our bedroom. Sadly, this is what a lot of us do! We figured that guests really won’t see the master bedroom compared to the main living areas of our home. Which also means we started to tackle the main areas of the home first. 

But guys, I’m here to tell you that we also deserve a relaxing place to escape to at the end of the day. So, I’m making it my mission to focus on our master bedroom each week (even if it’s little changes) to finally piece this room together. 

Let me back up just a little! Although we haven’t done anything with the decor, our bedroom has seen BIG changes. We ripped down parts of the wall, replaced the flooring, and painted the whole room white. Here’s where we started:

We decided to tear down the ledge that hung out over our bed. Let me rephrase, right over our heads. We tore it down for two reasons: dust and spiders. That’s the only thing that would get up there and I’m not okay with either one above my head while I’m sleeping. I’m so proud of Ryan doing this himself! At the time, I entertained our 8 month old and he got to work. I’m pretty impressed if I do say so myself. 

Then there’s the flooring. The flooring in our bedroom had several pieces missing in the corners when we moved in and was the first project we tackled. We researched and debated for weeks what to place in this room for the flooring. So much that I even wrote a blog post, Pros and Cons of Laminate, Tile, and Vinyl Flooring, to hopefully help others decide. We ended up going with NuCore, which are luxury vinyl planks. Months later we’re still loving them! It also helped to finalize the decision on these based on the color. We couldn’t find this color in any other material that was also within our budget. 

For the first time, we decided to go with white as the new paint color throughout the room. We really wanted to brighten the room with all of the natural light that pours into this space as much as possible. We plan on mixing in a lot of coastal blues and green through the use of houseplants.

Our rug was the first pop of blue that made an appearance in our room and I’m obsessed with it! After seeing it on Target’s website, I purchased it without ever looking back. Which is 100% not how I usually buy things. I’m a visual person and have to see it, touch it, and visualize it in our space, And yes, in case you’re wondering, that’s also why it takes forever to make a decision around here! 

Roman shades, bedside tables, and lamps were finally added and oh my, did this room start to feel cozy. I’ll be sharing a post soon on the roman shades because I’m kicking myself for not using this style shade sooner! I’d also love to show you a design board of our master bedroom plans, but the truth is, we’re kind of figuring this space out as we go. So there isn’t one. Once we add pillows, decor, different furniture, and other features, I’ll make sure to keep you guys updated. 

But for now, make sure to follow along over on Instagram for a behind the scenes look. We’re always having fun turning our house into a home and taking you along for the ride. Alright, my friends, until next time! And as always, thank you for visiting our blog. It means more than you know! 

Let’s keep in touch!

    Which white paint did you go with? Does it feel like it flows nicely with the Seattle Grey in the rest of the House?

      Hi Lauren! We went with Pure White. Since our baseboards and trim are Extra White, we wanted something a little warmer. This did the trick! And it does flow very well with the Seattle.

This pretty much sums up the progress of making 25 This pretty much sums up the progress of making 250 cement tiles. But I’m halfway through! The moment I finish the last tile is the moment I knock out the old tile. Let’s do this!
Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to make my own cement tiles for our outdoor front door area. Mainly because of what I’m saving vs buying them. Won’t be saving much on time but I’M MAKING TILES! Never thought I’d hear myself say that. Make sure to follow along because if this works out, I have a feeling a lot of you are already eyeing a spot in your home to try your own DIY cement tiles. 
 
Thank you @vintagerevivals and @abby_roadhome for showing it’s possible with your gorgeous bathroom tiles!

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
