I’ve been busy adding finishing touches on my Master Bedroom and am still just smitten that this is actually my bedroom! I love my 4 poster bed, but those poles sure get in the way when trying to photo all I’ve done. In this photo you can see that I have added an old window over the bed. This was a curbside find. I cleaned it up and took my Corner Cat sander for a spin on it to add some distressing. I also added this end of the bed bench from Hobby Lobby that was on sale for $69. I plan to maybe put a cushion on top of it.

Here is a better view of the cast away window. I love that it is long and 8 panes. For now I’m not doing window treatments. I kind of like the clean stark white look for now.

The dresser was accessorized with the help of my friend Nancy McKee, who owns a fabulous store in my town called Total Bliss. It is Total Bliss. I know I’ve talked about it before because it is the first place I go for decorating inspiration and accessorizing. Nancy will also bring things over to my house for me to try out! She also uses things you already have and arranges them just right! I love how she took those great gray blue candle sticks and gave one height with a stack of books.

We added some simple starfish to the this fabulous wire basket sculpture thing {not so sure what to call it, but I LOVE IT!}.

I got this fabulous lidded jar at Homegoods for 9.99. I added some sand and some wooden beach wood from Michaels and dropped in on one of my favorite photos of the boys. A lot of bang for the buck!

I bought these lighthouse pictures 12 years ago for my office on clearance. They had cherry frames on them until last week. I found them in my “excess items” closet. I painted the frames white and they worked perfectly into my decor theme!
Nancy also helped me accessorize the top of the armoire!

I love the driftwood garland from Total Bliss and it was only $18.99! Nancy also added the wicker tray and lid placed on top of a few books. We also used empty shoe boxes and draped them in burlap and set a beautiful and very inexpensive platter from Total Bliss and some beachy bottles and jars from TJ Maxx.

My next project is my reading corner. This chair is super comfy, but worn out and is cranberry! I could not stand the sight of the cranberry so I threw a large piece of fabric over it. I’m going to have a slipcover made for it. I painted the little table next to it Woodlawn Blue. The same shade that the fronts of the nightstand drawers are painted. I’m sitting in that chair right now!
For anyone who missed earlier posts on my bedroom the wall color is Silver Gray by Benjamin Moore and I’m head over heals in love with it!
I’m declaring this room the best in the house right now! I hope I’ve given someone else a little inspiration in their home!

I so love the pic with you and your boys. You are a blessed mom.
Love you.
I found the perfect chair to tie into your coastal theme…… I am going to use it when I create my spin on your room!
