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 The furniture there became outdated & old and we even gave our mattress that was in good shape to a family member.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!

Hi! I'm Erika, wife to my high school sweetheart, mama of three- Ryan, Elyse and Luke. Texas living, just juggling being a WAHM now. Here I share my motherhood journey, family travel, love for food, affordable kid fashion and all my favorite things. Welcome to my blog, so happy you are here.

I’m not big on Resolutions but I felt one was ne I’m not big on Resolutions but I felt one was needed to add in this year and that is SAVING. Budgeting has never been my thing. But if there was ever a time I started saving on groceries it is now. 2021 will be all about budgeting for my family and I and it’s with a very good reason behind it. But those are some other big news I’ll share with you all later...

For now I want to share with you guys about Ibotta. It is 100% free and a great way to earn cash back while you’re shopping, especially for groceries. @ibottaapp is a free cash back rewards app that gives you real cash for everyday purchases when you shop and pay through the app. So to sum it up- it’s basically couponing without clipping coupons!

Last year I said Animal Kingdom was our favorite p Last year I said Animal Kingdom was our favorite park I even wrote a blog post sharing all the tips, top rides, and favorite foods for AK. This year however the park is the only one that closes early so even with half a day here we did so much. We even did Expedition Everest 3x in a row because... no lines. Still can’t believe how empty AK felt! I still think it’s definitely a park you don’t want to skip out on especially to experience Pandora, it’s so magical every single time.

Yesterday we did day 3 at @waltdisneyworld. We got Yesterday we did day 3 at @waltdisneyworld. We got to use the skyliner for the first time from the Riviera to Hollywood Studios. My number one task was to wake up early set my alarm for 6:59AM to get boarding passes at 7AM. I know there’s many who asked me how did I do it. I’ll share on stories tonight step by step (and I’ll save it in a highlight) First thing we did when we arrived at the park is hit Toy Story Land and did Slinky Dog first (which is the most popular ride at the park based on wait times) we did all the rides at TSL and then proceed to Galaxy’s Edge. By lunch time we had finished ROR and all of the above. We could had never accomplished all of this before 12 pre c o v i d.  My husband and kids even convinced me to get on the Aerosmith ride which I have been avoiding for years. Since it’s the biggest height requirement ride (48”) we had to do a rider switch so Elyse and Ryan got to do it back to back. We finished the day after eating at Mama Melrose with the newest ride- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Overall this was by far the most successful day we have experienced at the park. #DisneyMagicMoments
We are back at Magic Kingdom ✨and it’s just as We are back at Magic Kingdom ✨and it’s just as magical as before even with masks on. 

Few things I wanted to answer based on your questions that I have received in my DMs. Yes, you’ll need a park reservation & a park ticket to get in. Disney is currently at 35% capacity right now (but that’s based on their all time high numbers at 100% full) Personally I have never seen Main Street so empty for this busy time of year. We got to ride all the major rides we wanted. The highest wait time we saw was 80min for Space Mountain & I wanted to turn away but the kids wanted to get in line so I timed it and it took us 30ish minutes to get in & the same thing for Seven Dwarfs- in and out in about 35 min even with the long line wrapped around. The lines might seem scary long but keep in mind they are doing social distancing so everyone is spread out in the lines and on the ride as well. We also got to eat at CRT for the first time and we all loved it. The food and the atmosphere did not disappoint one bit. Totally worth the money in my opinion. Next thing- did I feel safe? Yes I absolutely did. Everyone was wearing a mask at all times, I never saw an adult nor any children not having it properly on. They are sanitizing stations everywhere even throughout the rides and before getting on too. Plus we each had a bottle and used it all day like crazy. I’ll be answering more throughout my stay and on stories. But overall if you are thinking about visiting @waltdisneyworld any time soon my advice is JUST GO FOR IT! It’s the best time to avoid those overly large crowds. #disneymagicmoments
