{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?

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. 🙂

The wall looks black / gray in the photo is it ? Or does the paint come off that way after a few coats ? Love your ideas
The wall is chocolate brown!
I love your master bedroom! How long ago did you get your comforter from IKEA? I want the exact same one, but they don’t have it on their website. I’m assuming they might still have it in stores?

Thanks for sharing your home.
Thank you so much : ) I went out and bought it yesterday! My room isn’t as cute as this one yet, but I’m working on it!!
Thank you Colleen! That is the one!
Where do you get all of your corner shelves????
My dad built them! Super easy and he is working on a tutorial for the blog soon!
Can you tell me the paint color of your wall? I absolutely love it! Your room has the same colors as mine and I haven’t found a wall color yet. Thanks!
Amy

IKEA had this very comforter today, 7-21-12!
Good to know! Thank you!
I am right now sure i want this, Love it
Hello-
I love this room! I am planning on doing our master like yours! I was hoping you could tell me the name of the bedframe. I know you got it at Ashley furniture but I can’t seem to find it!
Thanks!
It’s been over 8 years so I have no idea, but other people mentioned that they found something similar at Pilgrim Furniture??
Where did you get the little shelves in the corner? I love them!
My dad actually built them, but he is writing up a “how-to” tutorial (that I will post here).
Hi.. Could you please tell me where you got the gold seat at the end of your bed? I love that!!!
I got it at Home Goods and then reupholstered it with the tan fabric!
Hi Mandy,
I love your house and the way you have decorated it! Could you please tell me what the size of the frame you used on your bedroom wall on the right side. The one with the scrapbook paper in it. Thank you Shelagh
Hi
I know you said the mirror was on clearance at Target, so I’m not really holding my breath! Was it any time recent? I absolutely love it and have been looking for one!
Thanks, Heather
It’s actually been quite awhile. I think I got it back in May?? I did find one similar at Lowes, but it was much larger.
I bought the very same mirror tonight at Target for $20. It wasn’t on clearance though. I Love it too!
Where did you get the vase and flowers on your corner shelf, I love them! You have such a great eye for decorating!
Morning! Absolutely love your master bedroom. Looking to do something similar but was wondering what color your bedroom furniture is? It is kind of hard to tell in the picture but we have black furniture and I am so scared that the chocolate color won’t match. Any suggestions?
It’s a very very dark chocolate, but honestly…in person it looks black to me!
i absolutely love this!! it’s beautiful! could you tell me where you got the shelves in the corner?
My dad actually built them! I am trying to get him to write up a tutorial!
Did you purchase your bed frame recently??? I LOVE it!!!
It’s been over 8 years. 🙁 A lot of other people said they found something VERY similar at Pilgrim Furniture??
Love the bedroom! What size is the frame with the love mirror hanging inside of it?
Thank you! It’s 16×20.
I love your home, your sense if style is amazing. It’s exactly what I want and do t know how to put together myself. Thanks for the inspiration! Do you think your bedroom collage would be a good fit for a living room wall? I’d love to hear what you think!
I absolutely thing you could do that in a living room!
Did you mix the two paint colors or is one for one wall and te rest for the other walls?
The Bittersweet Chocolate is for the dark wall and the Lambs Ear was used on the lighter walls and ceiling.
Can’t thank you enough 🙂 I have been contemplating for 6 years on a new bedroom color and you have just completed the thought process. Absolutely love the color combo!!!!
Is your bed black? It looks black in the pictures but when I look at your before pictures, it seems dark brown…
I would love to know how to do the shelves! I see in other comments you said your father was making/creating a tutorial, has he gotten around to that yet? If not can you please keep me posted?! I have been looking for something similar for my daughters room & our master. Thanks for the wonderful posts & pictures 🙂
I just ask him yesterday and he said we can work on it this week. Probably won’t be posted for another 2 weeks, but check back!
Your bedroom is sooo cozy. I just love it!!! Where did u find the curtains?
Target! Thank you!
Mandy, What color is your bed?
We have lived in our new house since December and your blog has ‘spoken’ to me. LOVE IT! Sitting on my deck, drinking coffee and pinteresting my blank walls and blah rooms. My husband is freakng out what this is going to cost him in time and checkbook! Ha!! Thank you!!!
Yeah do you recommend painting all four walls?
Your bedroom is beautiful! I love that picture of the tree and green bird. You mentioned getting it at hobby lobby. I couldn’t find it on their website. Could you tell me the artist so maybe I could find it elsewhere?
Thanks!
I’m not really sure without taking it down. It doesn’t say anything on the front. I would take it down, but I have it up there with sticky stuff that doesn’t make it easy to take down. I will say that I was at Hobby Lobby last week {here} and they still had it.
Are the curtains also a chocolate brown? Love the contrasting walls! Do you just have one wall painted in the chocolate color?
Yes, the curtains are also brown. I only have one wall painted the chocolate brown color.
I love all your pics of your house you are truly talented. The first thing I thought other than it’s beautiful was that the bed does not seem to be centered in the room. My bedroom is small but has a wall that is not centered where I center the bed on. I think I could pull something similar to this on that wall. crossing my fingers. Thanks 🙂
I finally found the bed! Well I found the name, now the challenge of finding someone who is selling that bed. Anyways, the bed is by Ashley Furniture, the Protege collection!
I love the lamp on your bedside table. Did this come from hobby lobby or Pier 1? was it awhile ago?
Thanks!
I love your bedroom ( and your whole house)! I want to get the bedding and noticed they have it in brown and in lilac. Did you happen to see the lilac compared to the brown in person? I can’t decide what one I want. I have similar wall colors and furniture color in my room. Thanks for all the help!!
what is the colors in your bed comforter
Mandy, I absolutely LOVE this room. I went today and found the tree and bird canvas picture, found the love sign and the wooden frame for it. The mirror i just guessed you’d also gotten from hobby lobby (until i read your posts today) Hobby Lobby has one but it’s much larger. We have brown curtians already. Our bed is a light wood color, my husband was thinking we could just paint it to something of similar color to what you have to create the look. My question is that our walls are currently the color of your accent wall here and our accent wall is the turqouis color of the bird in the canvas print. At first I was thinking we’ll paint it just like you have it, but i havent been able to find a comforter to match our room currently (we bought it painted like this) but really the turquois wall color might really tie the room together with all the accents you’ve put in the room with that hint of color. That way i wouldnt have to change our paint and i can look for neutral tones in my bedding. What do you think? I’d hate to paint if i can use what we have 🙂
It’s hard to say without seeing the actual color of the teal wall. My initial thought is that it may work! The only thing that would concern me is that the colors may be too dark…unless the teal lightens up the room? Our lighter walls bring some brightness in to the room, but if all the walls for the color of our accent wall it would be dark and dreary.
love the bedside lamp. Where did you find this?
Mandy, as everyone else, I love you master bedroom decor. I plan to do just about everything to mine that you have in your pic. One of my differences will be the bed. I have a platform bed with no headboard, hopefully that will work out okay. For anyone wondering about that mirror in the center I just picked one up from Target today *11/8/12* for $19.99 reg price. I was so excited because i figured I would not find it. They had just put them on the shelf.
Thanks! Glad you were able to post that you found the mirror at Target!
Mandy,
I might have missed the post but what color are your curtains and where did you get them from? Thanks so much 🙂
Where did you find your lamp on your side table?
Pier 1!
Where did you find that vase in the top left corner?! I want!!! And what are those stick ball things? I like those too!
You are such an inspiration–love this!! Can you please tell me if you made the framed picture on the right? If so, is it material or scrapbook paper? Please explain? Appreciate it.
What size frame is on the right and what is the mat sized to hold? I love your room and have found everything except this frame. I bought one that holds 3 4x 6 but the actual frame is way too small and out of proportion. Thanks!
The frame holds 2 8×10’s. Not sure the actual dimensions of the frame.
You are so talented, I love all your rooms! Thank you fit sharing! I have no taste/style so things like this really help a Blah girl out!!
The one thing I’m after I don’t see on the source list. In your master bed, the pic of the gold and silver/gray pic. What is that. Where might I find it?
Thank you!!
