Master Bedroom Reveal

Drum roll please.........

I finally finished making over our bedroom!
I'm not quite sure what piece started the whole domino effect of re-doing our master bedroom. It was probably either my newly silver leaf and shiny jewelry cabinet, or the fabulous over-sized damask stencil that I purchased online. Whichever one it was, it certainly got my creative juices flowing!

I apologize in advance for the overload of photos.

Our bed sits up on a raised platform and through an arch. It feels very dramatic and is my favorite part of our bedroom.

I purchased these canopy spools from Pottery Barn last year. It adds a little drama to our bed. And there's the sunburst mirror I just purchased from Ballard Designs.

 Here's a view of the canopy from the other side. The top spool measures about 1 foot I think. And don't you just dig the damask stencil! I looks like wallpaper, but it's not!

Here's another picture of my stenciled wall. I'm quite proud of how cleanly I carried the stencil all the way to the corners. It looks seamless!

Ahhh, yes....the chartreuse rosette pillows from Target! I couldn't resist them when they went on sale. I think they give the right pop of color in our bedroom.

The ruffle lamp shade was made by moi! I also spray painted our brass looking lamp a fun turquoise.

And this little cutie of a flower pot was another creation of mine. I have a few DIY's to share with you in the coming weeks.

My husband's dresser fits perfectly on the wall behind one of the arches.

I love all things mercury glass! And that flower arrangement, was another creation by moi.

These two frames hang on the wall by my side of the bed. I spray painted the frames from black to gold and then found some pictures online that struck my fancy and printed them onto textured card stock. Voila! Instant art!

And from my side of the bed (I'm a left side of the bed sleeper)

I've had these decorative mirrors forever and just love them!

And here is my silver leaf cabinet that I did. Stay tuned for the DIY on that project!

I keep my most favorite earrings out for easy access and display. A girl can never have enough jewels, right?

I have two of these chairs in our bedroom. My grandmother gave them to me. I believe they used to reside in her bedroom. I hand sewed the slipcovers many years ago before I had a sewing machine. I'm pretty proud of the fact that the slipcovers haven't fallen apart!

I created my own "kissing checklist"

#7 on the list was after my husband proposed to me....almost 15 years ago this September. *Correction, we've almost been married 15 years (holy smokes, we're an old married couple!) and he proposed 16 1/2 years ago in November.

My sweet, sweet and ever so thoughtful husband surprised me with this dresser one Christmas shortly after we were married. We had been out looking at antiques and I had spotted this dresser at an Antique mall in Sebastopol, and I commented on how pretty it was. Well he went back and purchased it and then hid it over at his parents house until Christmas. Yep, he's a keeper!

Can you tell I have a thing for flowers? In the spring/summer I like to put fresh flowers out, but during the winter these make a nice substitute.

Here's one last view of our bedroom from just in the doorway. The mirrored door on the left is to our closet. And I will not embarrass myself by posting picture of our closet.

Stay tuned for the details on the following projects from my bedroom make-over....

I almost forgot the Before & After! A make-over isn't complete without a before & after photo....

I'm pretty pleased with how our room turned out, especially the stenciled wall and my silver leaf cabinet. Two things that I have never tried before. So don't be afraid to try something new, you just might surprise yourself!
