Our Master Bedroom

Hey friends! Today I am so excited to share with you my favorite room in our home: our master bedroom! :)  It’s a place to withdraw from the world, relax, and of course catch up on much needed zzzzz's. Eddie and I both prefer soothing colors in our bedroom. After a little trial and error, I finally settled on my favorite grey paint for the walls (Behr's Ashes) and kept a neutral palette with champagne and white tones. 

Most importantly, I wanted the room to be layered with details reflective of happy occasions so that memories dance across our minds from time to time. Ultimately I love this space because of the joy that fills it: the real moments and the late night movies; the laughs and the little moments shared. Without further delay here is a our master bedroom! :)

It's safe to say I love a bed with lots of pillows! ;) I fell in love with this neutral print and convinced my gracious grandmother to help me sew a duvet and euro shams. The fabric is Kravet Latika Limestone and I think the neutral print brings warmth and life to the room. The fabric on the square pillows is Braemore Fioretto Sandstone and the quilt is from Pottery Barn.

 

Under the window, I tucked a linen club chair and small table to create a small sitting area. The chair is from Overstock and I have been thrilled with both the quality of the material and the elegance it brings to the room. My grandmother and I found the champaigne pillow at an antique store awhile back, and it reminds me of that wonderful day together. The chunky knit throw is from Ikea and the glass vase held advice cards at our wedding.

 

My side of the room has a few treasured things, including a favorite picture of my niece and pink roses from my wedding bouquet. The distressed vase was a gift from my best friend the first time she visited our home. I found the lamps on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few years ago and still love them as much as the day I found them! Bet you can't even tell they are missing a chain, can you? ;)

The espresso furniture is by Broyhill and was a college graduation present from my parents. I've thought about switching out the knobs for a more antiqued look, but these work just fine for now :) The upholstered headboard was on sale at Target and is pretty much the headboard of my dreams! When it came in, we moved the bed that matches the set into the guestroom.

The mister's side of the room always has a stack of books and odds & ends are stored in a gold box from HomeGoods. 

The gold frames above the armoire hold a few of our favorite engagement photos, which were taken by a talented friend at our alma mater. I love how the gold finish contrasts with the traditional style of the dresser.

I adore these cherry blossoms! They look just like Pottery Barn's but are actually from Michaels (for about 1/3 of the price :)

Several years ago, I transformed the coin holder using a little white paint and a vinyl monogram. It's amazing what a little spray paint can accomplish! We use the journal to remember all of our travels together and I love having it out for us to see. The clock and planter were both flea market finds.

Across from the bed is a traditional style dresser and a few special momentos. Oh how I would love to have a beautiful piece of artwork hanging above the dresser...but the hubs loves his Monday night football and every good relationship requires a little compromise right? ;)

The gold frame displays a decorative copy of our marriage license. The white bust is one of my favorite antique store finds (I think I paid I whopping $1.50!) and the glass jar belonged to my grandparents. 

My grandmother always has an amaryllis flower somewhere in her house so this white one always makes me think of her. The whimsical Chinese ginger jar was a house-warming present from Eddie's grandparents.

One bright, sunny Saturday Eddie and I were walking through an antique store while visiting friends. Somehow, we always find ourselves looking through the old books, and this special book by Kipling quickly caught our attention that day. Tucked between the pages, we were surprised to find several old handwritten love letters and a pressed four leaf clover. I guess you can never go wrong with a little luck and love on your side :)

While I was photographing the room it was nearly impossible to keep this furry little fella off the bed ;) Isn't he the cutest?! That yellow bone is his favorite and he carries it everywhere.

Thank you for taking a peek into my favorite space! How do you incorporate special treasures into your home? Would love to hear from you :)
