{Update 2: Master Bedroom Transformation #2…pictures HERE.}
And don’t go thinking I’m getting kinky on ya. I don’t want you in my bedroom for THAT reason.
I have been contemplating what to hang above our bed…for nearly the ENTIRE time we have lived in our new house. To say that I have been neglecting the master bedroom is a HUGE understatement. But, let’s be honest…the rest of the house has been more important.
However, there is only a certain amount of time you can walk in to your “BLAH” bedroom and feel all cozy and warm. That time had expired for me. I was so over hating our bedroom. And after being on Pinterest (bedroom design heaven), I REALLY started hating our space.
So finally, I decided to do something about it.
What do you think?
Not the greatest pics because they were taken with my phone, but I think I am pretty darn happy with how it turned out!
One thing that Pinterest has taught me: You can throw just about anything thing on a wall and make it look good. These days things don’t have to be symmetrical. They don’t have to be the same color. And they most certainly do not have to be the same print.
One of the best parts about our new wall art, it was not expensive. Can I get a HOLLA?
Source List:
Paint colors: Glidden Bittersweet Chocolate {Home Depot}, Valspar Lambs Ear {Lowes}
Canvas of tree/bird – Hobby Lobby for half off: price = $25
Open frame {no glass} Hobby Lobby for half off: price = $11
“love” mirror wall art – Hobby Lobby: price = $6
Black mirror {in center} – Target (clearance): price = $20
Comforter – Ikea: price = $50
Throw pillows – Home Goods
Bedframe – Ashley Furniture
Custom Corner Shelves – How To Build A Corner Shelf In 7 Minutes video tutorial
I already had the frame & the mat on the right. The mat was silver which didn’t match at all so guess what? I flipped it over and the back is white. No need for a new mat! I would also encourage you to try painting your mats if you want to change the color. I did that to a couple of ours (with wall paint) and it’s WAY cheaper than buying new ones.
I filled the frame with scrapbook paper that I had laying around the house. Orignally bought at Hobby Lobby for 59 cents a sheet!
That folks, brings this project to a whopping $64!
I think I may love our bedroom now. I know what hubby’s hoping that means. Ahem. 🙂
Carmen says
i loooooooooove it, Mandy! Ever since you mentioned Hobby Lobby I’ve been wanting to go.. I think there is one where I live, can you believe I have NEVER been to one? It looks fantastic!!
darci says
it looks GREAT!! i guess pinterest is giving you the fever to redecorate, too? and i’m on a muccchhhhh tighter budget now that i’m not working, so i’ll take all of the “budget” type improvement ideas i can! 🙂
Kortnie says
Oh man…so pretty! I love it!!:)
Preppy 101 says
It looks fabulous!! You did a fabulous job! xoxo
Wendy says
Love it! And I have that exact same duvet cover from IKEA! Love some Pinterest!
Jessica says
I’m so jealous! We live in earthquake central and can’t hang anything above our bed – and it looks horrible. I’m dying to do something like you did. It’s so cute! Love it!
Tonya @ Love of Family & Home says
It looks fabulous!! You did a great job putting it all together!! LOVE!
Susan says
Glad I’m not the only one that for so long didn’t have anything hung over the bed – or around it even. I still don’t know what I want. So having kids portraits around the house is now OUT, well ya can’t hang them in your bedroom either. Sort of kills the romance.
I love what you did and the corner things would work in my bedroom too.
Thanks!
Stephanie says
It looks great!!
Katie McFarland says
I’m so jealous that you’re getting to do these fun projects. I’m still unpacking. Love the art! It looks great. I’m debating on doing board and batten in our master bedroom. It’s going up someplace, maybe the bathrooms. 🙂
Pintrest is my inspiration heaven! I’m challenging myself to do one project a month from my boards. You game?
Brittney says

hi hi hi! Your blog is FABULOUS. A few months ago my house was taken by a tornado and now I get to enjoy the anxiety-filled pleasure of rebuilding and redecorating my home. You have a few items that I would love to get some information on-your master bed and your living room rug. Could you please point me in the right direction to find these items. Thanks so much!!!
Alison Plommer says

Abbey says
Where did you find the corner shelves in you master bedroom? So simple yet I am not sure where to find them. I a currently re-doing our master bedroom so forive all my questions. 😉
Mandy says
My dad actually custom built them. Sorry, I know that doesn’t help much! 🙂 They were really easy to do so maybe I should ask him to write a tutorial!
Dana Tecza says
Where did you get the curtain rods and curtains? Love it!
Mandy says
Curtain rods are from hobby lobby…and the curtains came from Pier 1, but they are just a deep chocolate brown so you could probably find them anywhere!
Kylie Shellstrom says
Love your style!!!! I do have a few questions if you don’t mind:
1. What color are your walls in your master bedroom?
2. Did you find the duvet cover to be a little small for your bed?
Thanks a bunch!
Mandy says
Master Bedroom colors:
Bittersweet Chocolate by Glidden {Home Depot}
Lambs Ear by Valspar {Lowes}
The duvet is not small at all! Actually big if anything!
Danielle says
I recently bought that same picture from hobby lobby. You have given me a great idea on how to use it! Your home is beautiful and your decorating style is just like mine!
Mandy says
Thank you!
Erica Wise says
Your bedroom is such an inspiration!! Love everything about it. I’ve bee looking to re-do my bedroom and this is right up my alley!! One question, where’d you get the vase in the corner and the lamp on your night stand??
Mandy says
Thank you so much! The vase in the corner is from Hobby Lobby and the lamp is Pier 1!
Angela says
Stunning Master Mandy!!!! Could you tell me the 2 colours you used in this room?
Mandy says
Bittersweet Chocolate by Glidden GLN19 (Home Depot) and Lambs Ear by Valspar (Lowes). 🙂
Abbey says
Hi there, so I am attempting to see the bittersweet chocolate at Home Depot by Behr but they only have bitter chocolate…could that be it? 😉
Mandy says
Ok, just double checked and it is by Glidden not Behr. So sorry! But, still at Home Depot. It’s Bittersweet Chocolate GLN19.
Emily says

Mandy says
Such a compliment! Thank you so much!
