Master Bedroom Makeover

July 23, 2019

OUR MASTER BEDROOM MAKEOVER BEFORE + AFTER

MASTER BEDROOM MAKEOVER EXCLUSIVE FURNITURE

Thank you to Exclusive Furniture / Tempur -Pedic / Rugs USA for sponsoring this post.

I am so happy to share this room with you all. It took a long time for it to get where it is now and although I know it is not 100% done yet ( I still need curtains, a light fixture, lamps, and a few accent pieces for a pop of color) However despite all those small details I am pleased with how it is coming along. I shared a few stories on IG a couple of weeks ago and it has been a whole transformation from how it looked before to now. It is a small update within a reasonable budget with small DIY here and there that you can do yourself at home.

MASTER BEDROOM MAKEOVER EXCLUSIVE FURNITURE

But first, let me start with the back story of this room. It had been more than 3 years now since we last slept here back in 2016. I cannot believe it took us that long. Mostly it was us putting it at the bottom of our priorities on things to get done in our ever ending list of house updates. Back in 2016 we woke up one night in early March after having a date night and staying out too late to a ceiling pouring in water from our main master bedroom to my closet leading to our bedroom. We were so deep in sleep that it took a while for us to hear it let alone feel it. It was a complete nightmare to say the least. Our water heater that was above in our attic had started to leak. Turns out it was on recall and no one send out a warning letter or notice to advice us to look into this ASAP and fix the problem. It ended up damaging our bathroom, my closet, and down to our main living room downstairs and our game room walls.

That month that followed we had so much to take care of. Luckily our home insurance referred us to a company that was able to repair the walls, carpet and ceilings right away those following weeks. We had to get new living room furniture – which became top of our list since that was an important family area for us and our kids. However we ended up moving out from our master bedroom to our downstairs guest room. Fast forward to 3 years later and we were still there (yes I admit we got too comfortable there) and our main bedroom became an abandoned room over time. The furniture there became outdated & old and we even gave our mattress that was in good shape to a family member. The walls needed new color and a major clean up since it fell to the bottom of the priority list.

 

BEFORE

Here is a look at the room from before and what it looked like after we moved out from it. It consisted of dark furniture that made the room look smaller than what it was and although there is plenty of windows it still felt dark and gloomy and overly crowded.


THE PROCESS & SOME DIY

When I first decided it was time we tackled that room once and for all I really wanted to get wood floors and remove the carpet we have had for the past 8 years since we first build our house. Obviously I had to set a budget for myself and realistically see what I could and couldn’t afford to do. We gave away our old furniture ( again to another family member). Once the room was cleared and I went over numbers and cost I realized I could only afford so little to change this room and the best choice with my small budget was getting my carpet cleaned. So I hired a local company who deep cleaned and steamed my carpet and saved a ton going that route. We also painted the room ourselves and figured we will save money that way. The color I went with is Sherwin Williams Light Beige. And the shelves we retouched along with the bay window seating area that was completely destroyed from when the kids were younger.

SELECTING FURNITURE

Next was the most important part of all FURNITURE SHOPPING. Actually the funnest part if you ask me. If you can see with the “before” my style has changed a lot from 8 years ago. I wanted to create a more “adult” feel with a feminine touch yet something that still pleased my husband at the same time. I was going for a more lighter tone that would open up our bedroom and showcase our bay window area. We shopped in the Cypress area and ultimately went with EXCLUSIVE FURNITURE.

Exclusive Furniture made us feel right at home and were so helpful the day we visited to make our top selections. They make a houseful of furniture affordable to every family in the Houston area ( with 8 locations all around). They really are a best price guarantee, with beautiful quality products and top-tier customer satisfaction that won us over instantly. It is really home of where low prices live!

One of my favorite things I discovered about this nightstand besides the traditional elegance it brings to the room with an oak panel gracing top and lovely antique bronze hardware is it is so  spacious to store things inside is it also bet of all has a night light that you can turn on and lights up from the bottom along with an attached station on the back for phone charging.

UPGRADING TO A KING MATTRESS

We also partner with Tempur-Pedic and upgraded to a KING mattress for the first time. The change from a Queen to a King has been smoothly, so amazing and quite frankly I never want to go back. I cannot say enough about our new TEMPUR-breeze° . It is the only breeze® mattress that is cool when you lie down, cool when you fall asleep, and cool ALL. NIGHT. LONG. My husband and I have been sleeping so good ever since it arrived. And I am no longer complaining about feeling hot at night, even with this Texas heat.

The rug is one of my favorite pieces from this room. It ties with the overall Ivory color scheme that I was going for and a perfect blend to the furniture. This Ivory Diamond Textured Trellis Tassel Waffell rug is an 5 x 8 and it is currently 45% off at RUGS USA.

 

Also adding accessories can really brighten up a room and you can never go wrong with plants everywhere for some greenery detail to the room that yells cozy and inviting. So far I am so happy coming to this room everyday after so many years we did miss our spacious room. I still have a few more things to add like I had mentioned at the beginning but if I waited until it was “perfect” you guys would be here waiting forever. I am hoping to find a bed set cover that matches the airy white colors I am going for until then this will have to do. Can’t wait to update you guys with more room makeovers along the way.

    Oh my gosh I love this makeover! I’m a huge fan of whites/creams but deathly afraid of getting it all dirty. Looks great!

Tell me what’s your favorite part of this season? Favorite tradition? Or favorite holiday outing with the kids? I want to hear it all #tistheseason #falalalala #fridaythe13th
Instagram post 18044289301210334 My all time favorite holiday 🌲 decorating for Christmas has always been one of the things I absolutely love the most since I was a little girl. My mom and I would decorate all day long and I have carried on the tradition with my kids now. Since she’s been sick and recovering I have now taken over her house too and started decorating my way around. I will be sharing more and also a home tour of my Christmas decor soon. Here’s a few magical pieces I found at @burkesoutlet. [ad] #bfinding #tistheseason #holidaydecor
Instagram post 17855736637658241 [ad] We did some holiday travel recently in our brand new car and plan on doing more in the upcoming weeks. Road trips have become less stressful for us over the years even with 3 kids involved. I think nothing can compare to that long 18-20 hour drive we did to Disney last Spring. That was the longest ride full of many stops. After that anything else seems possible for us now. 
This time it was so easy and I can even say fun with @autotrader_com . If you have any family road trips or planning on buying a new car this year Autotrader shares helpful advice and expert tips on traveling this holiday season. Head to the link in my bio and read my recent #JoyToTheRoad blog post including must pack items when traveling with little ones. What are your must haves?  #Autotrader #FinallyItsEasy

I have always talked about my dad being the hardest working man I know. He’s always provided for me and my siblings growing up with two jobs for as Iong as I can remember. We never had anything missing. Even when he was 18 finding out he’ll be a young dad he always provided for me with more than I could ask for. Yes we missed out doing things with him throughout the week but we always looked forward to Sundays just to be with him.

 I thought I loved and admired him then but seeing him NOW with my mom and how affectionate, attentive and loving he is makes me want to cry. He has been there since day one, through every step of the way right by her side. I know he’s also going through a hard time too. And I am so proud of the daddy I have and the amazing husband he is to my mom. We are so lucky to have him ♥️ This fight against Cancer has only brought them closer together more than ever. #cancersucks #cancerwarrior #lungcancerawareness #lungcancer #lungcancersurvivor #endcancer

Instagram post 18067031461168432 It’s DECEMBER! My FAVORITE month and today I’m finally putting our Christmas tree up 🌲 (once my husband decides to go to the attic 🤪) I feel I’m one of the last people taking out the holiday decor. But Christmas tree spamming will be coming soon to my feed || Also since December is here I want to do more story giveaways this month to thank you guys for the love and support in this small space here, I wouldn’t be able to do what I love without you all. So you did my poll and this week I’m going with 5 random winners for the Starbucks card. So head to my stories for more 🎄☕️🎅🏼 // outfits: @oldnavy #oldnavy #oldnavystyle #holidayoutfits
