It’s been over a year since we have moved into our new home,
and we don’t seem to have one. single. room. complete! Can you believe it? I
know, me either! While I have a lot of great pieces in the house already,
nothing seems to be quite finished.
After looking around the house and realizing I had A LOT of
work to do. I immediately decided to throw in the towel, go with one
room at a time. It’s much less overwhelming that way, or at least that’s what I
keep telling myself!
So here’s what I’m working with in the Master Bedroom.
 |
This gorgeous dresser and chest of drawers we bought last
year. They look great in the Master and really go well with the light blue/gray
walls.
|
 |
| These mercury glass candlesticks from Pottery Barn, a stunning
mirrored tray & mother of pearl box (all wedding presents from
friends and family). I’m infatuated with mother of pearl & oyster shell,
you can tell I’m an Island girl right? I also have an unhealthy obsession with
all things mercury glass. I’ve actually got a couple of projects up my sleeves
that are mercury glass inspired. |
 |
| I’m also rocking this collection of beautiful frames (all
wedding presents), that lack any pictures. Yes, I’m guilty of displaying frames
without pictures. Yes it’s tacky, yes it’s creepy, yes it drives my friends
crazy (that's your A & M). I don’t know why I do it, but I do! I’m getting some pictures printed
this week to fill them! Notice the two mother of pearl frames, I told y’all I
was obsessed! |
 |
| This is the chest of drawers from the set. I just love it,
but it’s a little too small for the space. I plan on making (fingers crossed, I
can pull this off) some gorgeous curtains to help fill the space and not make
the chest seem so small on the wall. I’ve got this vision in my head… just go
with me here! |
 |
| I saw this bamboo style desk in a re-sale shop and fell in
love with its style and price tag! I was afraid it might be too light for the
room, but I think it works. I could always stain it if I need it to darker, but
for now it will do! |
 |
| Here are the two pieces together. (I just realized that I
never took the yellow tag off the T.V. and we’ve owned it for over a year!!! I’m
running in there and taking it off pronto, I swear I’m more observant than this
guys!) |
 |
| Last
but not least, here is the bed. Our giant king sized bed that Tyler, that
adorable husband of mine, was instant that we buy! He is 6’2 so I guess it works. The bedding consists of a luxurious
Ralph Lauren quilt I scored about $400 off last Black Friday (thank you Dillard’s),
these ruffled linen euro shams from Pottery Barn and a soon to be duvet, this one to be exact! Mother got me a gorgeous pillow from their last trip to Italy
and I plan on making that the center pieces of the bedding. It sports a
monogrammed deer, I couldn’t think of anything better to represent our little
family. |
 |
| My absolutely favorite thing about the Master, besides the
man I share it with, is this breathtaking handcrafted headboard that we bought
for ourselves as a wedding present. It’s from Mr. Charles Phillips himself and
is crafted from an 1780’s French Door. I fall more and more in love with it
every time I see it, I hope it can be something that my children use and pass
on to their children one day. |
So I’ve your still with me here, and thank you if you are, here’s
the vision I have for the room.
Two skirted side tables in burlap (or similar fabric). A
couple of mercury glass (here I go again!) lamps. Those double curtained
windows I was going on about. A unique chair for the desk. Driftwood accents.
An end of the bed bench, I’ve still got my eyes out for one of these. As well
as a slew of paintings that I plan on making.
Wish me luck guys, I’m gonna need it!
