Master Bedroom
Since I've been totally in the nesting mood lately, I've been playing around with different areas around the house. I decide to tackle the master bedroom this week.
I've never felt very comfortable in this room - it just never really felt like "me", you know what I mean? I think it's mostly because of the traditional dark cherry furniture, which was a wedding gift and is too nice to paint.
So I wanted to "comfy-up" the room a bit and make it more my style.
I needed an art piece to go over this tall dresser, so I was racking my brain trying to come up with something that I already had (think 0 dollars!).
I found this blank white canvas in the attic and decided to paint some lettering on it. This is one of my favorite songs right now, so I used carbon paper to trace the lettering and craft paint to paint the lettering on.
It's not perfect by any stretch, but I like how it turned out anyway.
I wanted to turn this corner of the bedroom into a cozy little reading nook and had been looking around for a chair to use. I found this slipcovered chair from Ikea and brought in the old door that had been out by the garage to prop behind it.
Oh, and I found those white tab-top curtains at Ikea for only $14 per pair! LOVE!!
The door just has the perfect amount of aging to bring some extra charm to the room!
I splurged and got some new bedding from Target that I am in love with! Again, I don't love the look of the bed, but the all-white bedding makes it a little less traditional and oozes comfyness!
Hope you enjoyed my little putterings!

Beutiful! BTW, that is also my favorite song! What a GREAT idea:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE what you did to the bedroom- just a forewarning, Tyler and I have the same comforter and the buttons have been falling off for us! :( I love the comforter though, it reminds me of a big cloud!
ReplyDeleteLove me some David Crowder. You said paint another and add it to your etsy shop :)
ReplyDeleteIts beautiful! The painting & the door are my faves but everything is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing this--has my brain ticking!

That is my favorite song! Love the canvas! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I love your room! I actually like the contrast of the dark furniture with your white, chippy, flowy touches. I think you did a fabulous job! My favorite is the door in the corner with the chair. I just hung an old window and am looking for a stick wreath to hang on it.

Great minds think alike :) just bought that same bedding Monday afternoon from our Target :) and love it! Not too heavy but still will keep us warm this winter. Love love love the colors of the room and the door you brought in!
ReplyDeleteAimee I love everything about the print you made. I want to do something like that for a friend, but as I am not a crafty person don't know where to start to find the exact font tracing sheets you used. Could you tell me where you purchased them?
ReplyDeletelooks great! I love the door in there and especially love that it gives a place to hang a purse- keeps it out of the reach of little hands!!
ReplyDeleteyour bedroom looks like a lovely place to nest. I really love what you did to the white canvas, very inspiring. I also love the new white bedding with the dark bed.... the contrast is fab!
ReplyDeleteI am inspired by your creativity! I love to see woman using there God given gifts to the fullest. Thanks for sharing! We moved into a new house a year ago and my bedroom is so in NEED of help, inspiration. I have an old door sitting in my basement, I think it will land in my bedroom! Thanks for inspiring me. Also, who sings the song and what is the song title?
ReplyDeleteI love your white bedding and dark furniture!!! love it!!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did with the lyrics. It looks great! And what a great song! I got to hear them in concert last night. Plenty of worship moments.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful home!
I love your bedroom!
Have a great week!
Take Care,
Maria
Your painting is so beautiful, I LOVE that song with a passion! If I had your artistic skills I would try to do the same!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty, comfy room! I love the painting... that's one of my favorite songs, too. :) Such a great idea to put it on canvas.
