Master Bedroom Refresh

Hello sweet friends!

Since I've taken many blog breaks over the past year or so,
I realized I have not shared a bunch of updates done around here.
(I may eventually need to do an updated home tour.)

So, today I'm going to start with the master bedroom.

Here is what the bedroom looked like before:



We had very dark mahogany furniture.

I somehow managed to convince my husband
that the furniture needed to go.
However, when we began shopping I realized
that the dressers nowadays seemed very small.
The drawers seemed very small as well.

You have to understand, we live in an old house.
Closet space is practically non existent in old houses,
so dressers need to store a lot.

After much thought, I decided to paint our furniture.
My husband was not crazy about this idea, but
I went ahead with it.

We painted the walls Cottonwood by Ralph Lauren.
Then the furniture got covered by
Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Pure White.
We bought an upholstered head board and
a chandelier and just like that,
a completely different look.


We were going to change out all the original brass handles 
on the drawers for new hardware, 
but decided to keep them instead.


And because I'm nothing if not real,
I'm showing you this picture...
I like a TV in the bedroom.



I'm am so happy with how it all turned out.
It feels so much lighter & brighter now.

Wishing you a wonderful day!

  5. Gina, it turned out beautifully! I painted our dark cherry wood bed white a few years ago and love it too! We added ship lap to one wall and it gave the entire room a new look. Your entire room looks like a wonderful retreat!

    We are still working on our bedroom

    I love the way your furniture turned out too.
