Master Bedroom

One of our first big projects we did at our house was the bedroom makeover!  Nate made a deal with me when we were furniture hunting.  He wanted these very WHITE kitchen chairs, which look gorgeous, but I was just imagining every food dying them another color.


I wanted something a little more stain friendly, but then got smart.  What if he got the chairs he wanted and gave me full decorating power for the master bedroom?  Miraculously, he agreed, and I went to town!

I already knew my color scheme - grey and purple. Pre-Pinterest (how did we survive without it??) I came across this photo and it was my inspiration.


I knew I wanted a bold yet warm shade of purple for the walls, and was searching for the perfect hue.  I came across this post and fell in love with the Sherwin Williams Kimono on the walls.  Up it went!


I also absolutely knew I wanted accent wallpaper on one wall - another reason I knew this deal had to be made!  NO chance would Nate let me wallpaper in our brand new house without this deal!  We spent quite a bit of time wallpaper hunting (which is actually really hard!  Most are still old grandma wallpaper - that stuff still sells??).  Finally we found the perfect paper at Lowe's, and up that went!  We loved the result!  I think Nate even likes it, though slow to admit it.


We bought our furniture when we bought our house, and I thought I would love this bed.  Turns out, I still respect it and it does the job, but my pillow gets stuck in the crevice between the headboard and mattress, and it is also a queen size bed.  I am pushing 6' and Nate is 6'7" so we really could use a king size bed (understatement of the year).  Plus, then this bed could be for guests!
