One of my goals for my 27th year was to focus on our master bedroom and create a peaceful “oasis”. And while I don’t really buy into the idea that our room will magically become a getaway from the kids (um, I have three boys!), my hope is that I can transform it from a room I tolerate to a room I adore. Does that make any sense?
I’ve been going back and forth in which direction I want to go. I blame Pinterest and too many amazing ideas! However, I did give myself a few parameters:
1. Big pieces must stay. As much as I would love a king-sized upholstered headboard, it’s just not in the budget right now. It’s also a good lesson on working with what you’ve got and being content with what you have.
2. Spend the least amount of money as possible. This has much to do with my personality: it’s all in the hunt! I want to work my creative muscles and search for just the right items that match the picture in my head. It may take time, but like I said, I love the hunt!
3. Add items that have meaning and value. Favorite quotes and pieces of the life we’ve made together. I’d really love to add some of that to our room.
Here are some of my pictures I’m using as inspiration for our master bedroom:
This is the paint color I’m leaning towards: Gull Wing Gray. Blue/Gray. Moody, but not to dark.

I have dark bedroom furniture, so this was one of the only pictures I could find that matched my room. I like the contrast between the dark wood, blue walls, and white bedding.

Still undecided about lamps. I like the looks of both the white ceramic base and the antiqued mercury glass. We’ll see what Homegoods has…I’m sure that will help me in the decision making!

I love the gallery wall on the right and we have the perfect space for one in our room. Stay tuned tomorrow…I’m going to share a couple of ideas I’ve been creating! Inexpensive and sentimental – love it!
What do you think? Do you have any more ideas for me? Is there a paint color that would look better with dark furniture?
great ideas here. Our bedroom is the same gull wing gray with white linens (I love this color combo). And I might have to do the B above the bed – great idea!
