Style Feature Saturday and Master Bedroom Inspiration



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!

  1. 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

  4. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  9. 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.

  14. 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

    And good luck... :O)

  17. 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 :-)
    Blessings,
