Goodbye pops of yellow from our last master bedroom.

You may remember, I got a little ambitious and sold our bed prematurely to make room for the DIY one that was in my head. Then a year went by with our bed on the floor before we actually got around to making it.  Picture that people.

  1. Absolutely gorgeous! I love the combination of green and navy. Finally the bedroom is as beautiful as the rest of the house! Just lovely!

  2. Lovely! Been in my house 6 years. The mattress isn’t on the floor, but it certainly doesn’t look pulled together like your room. Thanks for sharing.

  4. We must think alike because I did my room very close to this. I just can’t seem to find that elusive green coverlet!

    • I actually bought that coverlet over a year or more ago. I haven’t been able to find it anymore. I did notice they had one in the same print but in navy. This was maybe a month ago. Maybe check ebay? Good luck!

  5. Wow! Michelle, your master bedroom looks absolutely stunning, refreshing and well put together. I can’t believe you DIY that gorgeous bed (is that velvet?) and that chic feature wall (it looks flawless, I thought it was wallpaper!). You did a marvelous job. Such a fabulous, stylish, gender neutral master bedroom, your hubby must be so thrilled!

    P/S: I am in the process of making over our guest bedroom. Please come and take a look if you like.

    • Thanks Jessie! The bed is actually navy linen. We’re loving it. Keep asking why it took me so long.

      P.S. I’ve been following your room and it is crazy good! That bed feels so stately and elegant. And the blue wall square…I die! Kudos!

  6. I pretty much want you to come to my house and do this exact same thing! Totally love this space! And now I am back to the board and baton wall going down my steps again! It just looks so lovely and makes we want to curl up and read a book or something! I must know how you made your bed! My husband and I are considering buying something like that but if it isn’t “that” difficult I might be able to convince him to DIY! Unless you wanna come to Iowa and help me (wink wink-lol)

  15. My master looks a little to similar to your before pic. And I’ve been in my house for 5 years!! Just when I thought I was going to start it, I began tinkering & tweaking my boys’ rooms again.
    I’m loving yours so much! The walls are gorgeous!

  16. It looks great! Love the walls and the bed and the mirror and your new dresser. I could go on. 🙂

  17. THIS is what good things are made of!! I like the attempts at adding yellow things in the before photos but you have truly nailed it in all of the after photos. I love that none of it is super matchy matchy, it all just goes beautifully together. Fantastic job!!

  19. Beautiful!!! I am seriously coveting your dresser- it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for, for our Master Bedroom. P.s. our bed is on the floor too!

  20. I wondered how you were going to pull this off after seeing all of the sneak peaks and the Pinterest inspiration! It look sSO amazing! YAY!

  21. Such a fabulous job! Thanks for the inspiration, I also need to get going on our master bedroom:)

  25. This is so great!! Are you going to give us any tips on the herringbone wall? Like how you measured the vertical lines to fit on your wall?

  27. I love this ROOM! I would like to have a baby with this ROOOOM!!!! you are amazing Michelle;)

  28. This was well worth the wait Michelle! It’s a room you need to really look at to fully appreciate. I love how there’s actually a lot of pattern and texture but none of it is overwhelming. You must love how bright it feels now. Great job!

  32. My first visit to your blog (via BowerPower, who never fails to make me laugh ; )
    What a transformation you made. The navy linen fabric, and style of this bed is amazing – quite the DIY upholstery project.
    Will you be sharing a tutorial on your bed construction in the future?

  34. Can’t wait for the bed tutorial, I’ve been wanting a bed like that for awhile but they’re so expensive!!

  35. How big are the square for the wood walls? I’m just trying to get a perspective. I want to do that on a feature wall in my living room. Also, how thick and tall is the wood? Thanks!

  40. What DIY did you use for your bed frame???? We have a cal king and it’s SO hard to find frames!!

    Yours turned out SO good!!!!

    LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!

It is nice to meet you!

Hey there! I’m Michelle; I’m an Passionate DIY’er and in constant pursuit of how to bring beauty to my house full of men (3 boys + 1 hubby). Stick around and see what I’ve got up my hard-working sleaves!
