Now that you know I'm working on our Master bedroom for the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE, I wanted to share with you the over-all plan.
 |
| Ta-Da! |
This is the plan on the bed area :
1) Replace all the furniture - got that handled since a friend of mine who just moved into a new house is buying all my old one! Yey!
 |
| Good bye to my choccolate goodness! |
2) Add huge picture molding beside the bed to for wallpaper. - Since I change my mind often, wallpapering the entire room or a wall would be 'problematic'. So by doing this, I can change up my wallpaper in no time!
 |
| And currently I'm obsessed with Schumacher Chenonceau wallpaper |
3) Paint the entire room white.- The cream and blueish gray has to go.
 |
| Good-bye cream and blue walls! |
Mainly this side of the room just entails a lot of shopping work & fun! LOL!
On the opposite side of the bed. I want something like this...
1) Build custom cabinetry beside our fireplace. I need to hide a couple of small safes and the rest of our 'junk', but also, I need to display some of our 'junk'!
 |
| Good-bye to putting things in bins and on the floor! |
2) Remove old fireplace surround and come up with something prettier. - I basically want it to be marble or natural stone all around, more of a contemporary look. The Hearth needs to go too!
 |
| Good-bye Mantel! |
3) Add interesting lighting to the cabinets.
4) Hide all the wires. - Like you, I hate wires, and having these built-ins made is the only way I could hide the wires from the TV and Blu-ray with ease.
5) Add crown molding to our tray ceiling and remove the old popcorn ceiling. I want to replace our ceiling fan too!
|
| Best shot I could get of the tray ceiling. |
Here are some of my inspirations..
I have already discussed all the plans with our contractor and we're getting started already! Wish me luck!

I can't wait to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteYou have some fabulous ideas, Vel. Great idea for a nice picture behind the bed rather than wallpaper. I'm very indecisive and my wallpaper days are over. Then again, if you get a larger headboard, you may not need anything behind the bed besides just a bit of art.
ReplyDeleteI think the first inspirations looks very much like the angle of the bedroom you shared, so it's easy to imagine it looking like this---very pretty. I kept our master very creamy as far as paint and trim. Right now the predominant colors are gray and blue, but with the light paint color I can change anytime I want!
I'll go back and have a peek at your last post. Sounds so great---keep us up to date. And I know how you joke-the safes-hahahaha

It’s amazing how similar those desks look but the price is so different! I love the Schumacher wallpaper. I like the idea of doing panels. Wishing you luck!
