Mission: Master Bedroom Re-design REVEAL

Happy Saturday to all of my lovely blogging friends!

I finally got around to taking some final shots of my master bedroom, and I am SUPER excited to

share with you all!

During the "remodel" process of my room, I kind of rolled with the punches the whole time, because I really wasn't 100% sure what I wanted the final look to be...

The things I did know was that:

1.  I really wanted the majority of the room to be neutral.

2.  I wanted to re-use the frames that I had.

and

3.  I wanted to get rid of the AWFUL, hand-me-down headboard.

That's it...so pretty much, I had a blank slate to work with! 

So I started out by buying Pottery Barn's embroidered sea life bedding off of Ebay.  I had my eye on it for weeks in the PB store, but it was too rich for my blood!  So when I saw the duvet and two shams on Ebay for $125 less than what it was selling for in stores, I just couldn't resist....YIPPPEEEE for me!

My second inspiration was to incorporate a gallery wall into the room...

I wanted to use an old window pane that I found on Craigslist a LONG time ago, and all of the frames that I had...

*hint*
Gallery walls add a dramatic effect and will even make the room feel bigger than it is...

So with my main two inspirations, this is what I came up with...

Before

I was hoping I never had to see this EVER again...

After...

I am SUPER excited with the way it turned out....

Can you see the blank spot above the white chest of drawers?  That is the area that I have been on a mad search for!  I just can't seem to find the perfect piece...

I stole the stripe pillows from my living room...the starfish quilt was from Homegoods...and the cute, colorful pillow is from Pottery Barn...

The drapery panels are painters drop cloths from Lowes...10 bucks a piece...CAN'T BEAT THAT!!

I wanted the gallery wall to act as the headboard in the room, because there was NO CHANCE I was keeping the wrought iron one...

I found the trunks on Craigslist...3 for $95...the other one is put away for a rainy day...

LOVE the beach-inspired touch....

Here's alittle close up of the drop cloth/drapery panel...pretty cool eh?!!!

The drop cloth is actually sewn on the top and the bottom which makes for a nice, snag-free, edge.  All you need to get is a set of rings with clips on the end, and a rod with finials and brackets.

Oh, and the frames on the wall...

Remember these?

I painted both the frames and the matt board using a flat creamy white spray paint from Lowes...

After that I sanded each frame to add a distressed, antiqued look...

*Alittle trick*

Lay out your gallery wall on the floor first so you have a template for your wall...otherwise you will be running in circles trying to figure out your placement on the wall...

Let me know what you think!

Nighty Night for now...
