Master Bedroom Refresh

This post is as much about the power of paint as it is about anything else. I know you know this but, simply painting the walls can change the entire feel of a space and this bedroom refresh is total proof of that.  I’ve been super antsy to paint our master bedroom for awhile. I didn’t dislike the previous color, I just wanted something moodier for our master bedroom.

After seeing some blue walls around the web, I decided to go for it. One thing about me, I’m slightly impulsive which can be to my determent. Once I have an idea, it seems impossible to get it out of my head. That’s what happened with this room.

Master Bedroom Decorating Ideas

 

Master Bedroom Refresh - changing the look of the bedroom with paint - paint color is Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky

I searched high and low for paint colors and narrowed it down to a few I wanted to sample then ran to Home Depot and had samples mixed of these five colors. I decided on Ben Moore Cloudy Sky after swatching them on the wall and observing them for a few days. I honestly was terrified to paint the walls such a bold color since I’ve really stayed very neutral with paint colors in this house but I’m so pleased with the way it turned out.

Not a lot changed in this space other than removing the grid and then painting the walls.

I added this new bench at the foot of the bed. I love the spool legs, don’t you?

I also mixed some new artwork in with the old.

One thing that had always stumped me about this room was adding art above the headboard. The ceilings are so tall in this room and nothing ever seemed to fit – once I added some height above both nightstands – I felt much better about leaving the space above the headboard bare. Master Bedroom Refresh - changing the look of the bedroom with paint - paint color is Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky

I also ended up removing the drapes from the window because they were just too heavy for the space. I’d love to replace them with some lighter white or maybe striped drapes in the future but for now, I really don’t mind the bright light that pours in.Master Bedroom Refresh - changing the look of the bedroom with paint - paint color is Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky

A couple weeks ago I snagged an original painting from Brynn Casey Art and I promptly hung it in here. I think it completes the calm, beachy vibes in this room that I love so much.Master Bedroom Refresh - changing the look of the bedroom with paint - paint color is Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky

I can’t even believe how different this space looks and feels by changing details.

    It’s so beautiful Chelsea! I love that you dressed the bed with a quilt, instead of a duvet. The texture is so inviting. For the same reason, I just ordered a new quilt for our bedroom…can’t wait for it to arrive. And those bench legs ? – so gorgeous!

      Thank you so much Jackie, I love the look of quilts. I have some vintage ones that we all fight over when it’s time to curl up and watch movies. Can’t wait to see your new quilt!

      Yes, same headboard! It’s amazing how the paint color changes the look of the fabric!

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
