I am so excited to finally reveal our newly updated Master Bedroom.  This has been months in the making!  I shared bits and pieces of the progress a few months back here and here but today I am sharing a quick video…my first ever!

One of our goals for 2017, which I shared here, was to add hardwood floors upstairs. Well, we finally did it.  The floors were installed in early September and last week the final paint touch ups were completed.  I am so happy we made the move from carpeting upstairs to wood floors.   I liked having the carpet when the boys were little and we didn’t have a puppy running around  but I absolutely love the wood floors!  Enjoy my first video and we will chat about the details after!

Fixer-Upper Style Master Bedroom Reveal

 

I am loving the transformation.  The hardwood floors make all the difference in the world!  We matched them with the downstairs  flooring which is a 5 inch hand scraped hickory. The hickory is a very warm tone which keep the wood from appearing too cold.

Here’s a quick rundown of everything we did.

• added hardwood
• built a shelf using a 2×10 stained to match vintage chest at foot of the bed.  Shelf is attached using Simpson Strong Ties from Home Depot which I sprayed black
• new gun-metal bed found at a local consignment shop
• painted dresser, night stands, mirrors and lamps with Amy Howard One Step Paint
• added an area rug from IKEA
• hung wall sconces from Wayfair

I got the idea of the shelf above the bed from an episode of… you guessed it …The Fixer Upper.  It was the on season 4 episode 16.  As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to do my version of it above our bed.  Such an easy projects with a big impact.  I did something similar in the sitting room.

The area rug is from IKEA.  This is actually two area rug that I placed together.  I used the recommended rug pad from IKEA which feels a bit tacky/sticky and it keeps the two rugs together and stays in place.

I shared the sitting room before but I wanted you to see the difference the hard wood makes in here.  EEK, I LOVE IT! The chairs are the same ones I bought when I was pregnant with my first boys.  I had them reupholstered.  They are in fantastic shape and are super comfy.  I added the same IKEA rug in here to help keep the two room cohesive. I also added the ottoman from IKEA ektorp series. You can see a small stand on the fireplace hearth…a GoodWill find.  This is kind of  totally my space!

I love this credenza I bought from Goodwill for $40.  I gave it a quick coat of paint and added my DIY shelves above it.  Almost everything on the shelves are treasures I found at Goodwill.

I hope you enjoyed my Master Bedroom Reveal and my first ever video.

Until Next Time,
