With wedding details winding down and a whole, practically empty home just waiting to be "
Bethified," I'll occasionally be showcasing plans for our decor renovation.
Our new place is really spacious, has some great vaulted ceilings, gorgeous oak mouldings and woodwork, and just needs some new paint and furnishings. We actually bought all the paint before we even had keys to the place! :)
We're moving at a slow pace in actually getting things done, but, as anyone who knows me can guess, the ideas for design are already planned in my head.
Without further ado, I present to you the first of many "Inspiration Boards," a culmination of pictures that showcase what we have and what we want, in order to demonstrate a mood or theme for a particular room.
This is for our Master Bedroom. The room is relatively large, has high vaulted ceilings and a huge picture window on the West side. We already have our furniture -- a complete set of gorgeous cherry furniture. We have a cherry four-poster queen bed, 2 nightstands, a long dresser with two attached mirrors, a highboy, and a
cheval standing mirror.
The walls will be a Robin's Egg Blue (Coastal Blue by Grand Distinction, if I'm not mistaken). White will be the overall accent, with long white curtains flanking the picture window, a crisp, fluffy white duvet on the bed that will pop against the dark red wood, and a few white decor elements. The chair will sit in the corner under the window as a quiet reading spot for me. I love the graphic print against all the other solid, mellow objects in the room. The small white birds, a quickie birthday present to myself, will be displayed on a small white shelf above the chair, accenting the bird print in the chair itself. We'll get similar lamps to sit on each nightstand. They flow with the room, but still add an interesting element themselves. The candles mimic the lamps, and will be placed in clusters on top of the dresser, as well as in the attached master bath to help link the rooms (more on that room later!). I'm commissioning a custom piece of artwork for the room, which will remain a surprise and be showcased later! It will be centered above the bed and will anchor all the different elements, and bring a personal touch to it all.
The overall feel for the room is calm and relaxing, with a sophisticated and slightly earthy tone. I absolutely CANNOT wait for this room to be completed, because I know that this will quickly become my absolute favorite! Completed pictures at a later date!
