A while back we began a small revamp on our Master Bedroom. We’ve slowly worked on painting, adding, re-purposing, and taking away to create more of a zen/soothing space for ourselves.
We got some new Pottery Barn sheets for Christmas and some money to spend as we wish…thanks mom and dad!! We’re headed on a Christmas money shopping trip this weekend and I could not. be. more. excited.
🙂
I’ve been feeling this sense of bad design as I looked around and saw lots of solids in the room. Solid paint color, solid white spread, solid and neutral throw pillows. Our furniture is kind of a pecan, warm tone, and it was all beginning to feel neutral, solid, boring.
But you know what?
As I searched through House of Turquoise last night, I was drawn to these interiors…
Notice anything?
I’m completely drawn into these soothing, solid color palettes of whites, blues, and natural textures. They seem to reach through my monitor and whisper, “come on, you know you want to netflix a movie in this.”
🙂
Okay, you know what I mean….I am more drawn to texture and layers than bold patterns.
Or maybe it’s just the dosage that concerns me. Bold prints would probably be fine in a few throw pillows.
Or a subtle, soft print in a quilt would probably work too.

I also LOVE symmetry in a bedroom, I’m discovering. Repeating patterns, matching bedside tables and lamps. I’m not so much for repetition everywhere, but in my sleeping/movie-watching retreat, I need that order.
So, this weekend, I’m going to head to Pottery Barn to check out these
and maybe some euro shams like these…
My list includes a quilt to lie at the foot of our bed, either matching or coordinating euro shams, and lamps. Maybe even some clothes and hardware. Home Goods, Pottery Barn, and Anthro here we come!
What are you working on this week?
It’s time to link up your projects again….welcome back to Style Feature Saturday, where we showcase your home projects! Okay, link em up friends and grab a button to add to your post.
And come back tomorrow for an awesome giveaway!
Shauna I love color and I love pattern,but I must say in my bedrooms I go for solid or solid looking tone on tone for a soothing affect. I have had my bedroom with the same white hotel duvet for at least 12 yrs and I have never tired of it. I also love white matlasse. I think you will be so happy you went this direction. I love all the images you showed and it is very evident that you like more soothing. here is a link to my master for a little more soft blue with white if you have time to look. I say go for it, I am excited for you!!! Happy weekend Kathysue
OMG, I love those sheets, but they are no longer available!?! What? WHY? You're so lucky you got them. I now have sheet envy.
Love your new sheets! I have similar taste in decorating the master bedroom…your #2 inspiration pic reminds me of what I am working toward for mine! =)
I haven't liked blue for the longest time and now I've suddenly found myself in love with the pale aqua that you've shown in many of these photos. I'm trying to figure out how to work bits of it into my house. I really look forward to seeing your painted door when it is finished. I just know it's going to wow!
We are in the process of re-designing our bedroom too so I can't wait to see what you come up with from PB!
Can't wait to see what you do with your room. I like symmetry as well. Very calming. I am hoping to redo our BR in the next few weeks. Thanks for the inspiration photos.
I love the color scheme in the first bedroom! One day when I live in my "grown-up" house I am going to decorate with a more soothing color scheme such as this one! Very cute sheets!
I love your inspirations! Can't wait to see what you do:):)
I didn't like blue for the longest time either. But I'm loving the aqua/robin's egg blue with white and tan. We've updated our living room with it and we are working on our bedroom right now too. Love layers and textures. We were gifted a gorgeous quilt much like the ones in your pb pic for the end of our bed too. Lol. Have fun shopping, Shaunna.
Krásné…
What beautiful inspiration pictures. Love the blue and white…so relaxing. Lindy
the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are my favorites- i could jump into those beds and watch netflix all day!
Have fun at PB…my catalog came in the mail a few days ago and it has been a great browse!!! I love the room with the bright colorful pillows! Thanks for the inspiring photos. Thanks for hosting Style Feature Saturday!
Your lettered sheets are so pretty! I like all your inspiration pics, too! Thanks for hosting the party!
I too wanted the quilts from Pottery Barn for our masterbedroom makeover but could not afford them so I checked out Overstock.com and found ones just like Pottery Barn but at a MUCH more affordable price… So I got 2 of them in different colors… And I am in love with them… Check mine out at… Bluefamilyscene.blogspot.com
Thanks for beautiful inspirations and hosting:)
love what I saw of your room and can't wait to see what you find this weekend…
I just found your blog and it's beautiful. I was trying the links to your sponsors though, and the one for Pure + Lovely didn't work. It said it had one too many h's in the http thing. Just thought you'd want to know :-)
THanks for the linky party! I linked up my Mosaic Mirror
Thanks for hosting the link-up!
We are having our wood floors refinished this week so it looks like we are moving! Hopefully they turn out well. We are going from honey colored to dark! Then it will be lots of reorganizing!
Just found your site from Peas & Crayons.
