Bedroom 1: Cottage House Flip Reveal

It is Bedroom Reveal Week and we are kicking off the festivities with Bedroom #1! Click to watch the Before, During & After transformation:

The largest of all six bedrooms, this one won me over in the end—more than I thought it would, to be honest. There is just something about it… but let us start from the beginning to take it all in:

Aw, it is like going to Grandma's house.

Down to the floral wallpaper, floral bedding, floral chair, striped carpet and brown wood everywhere.

But that did not last long. Starting with a DIY door makeover:

Then it was goodbye carpet and wallpaper, hello new floors & white walls:

Floors, paint, a little DIY and accessories were all this room needed to become the relaxing “master suite” it is today…

Welcome to my happy place.

Thanks to the great bones, it did not take much to turn these four walls into something special.

The wood trim balances the white walls and keeps it feeling warm and cozy without being dark and heavy.

And by adding a few black accents, it keeps it from feeling washed out.

The brass lamps tie in to the brown wood and other accents in the room as well.

On the other wall, I placed the dresser I would bought & refinished for my last home.

Can we talk about this mirror? Obsessed. Never giving this baby up.

Just in case you forget which room you are in 🙂

And here is a million more photos because I could not stop taking them and I cannot pick favorites.

Thank you Country Living for the lovely hydrangeas!

I still cannot believe I found this bed (for free) on the sidewalk in front of my apartment when I was bed shopping for something just like it. Miracles do happen!

This bedding was the very first thing I chose for the space. You can never go wrong with a light toile…

The quilted texture is a great touch.

I mixed it in with these ruffled shams that came with a Crane & Canopy duvet set (which I used in another bedroom). A little romantic touch goes a long way!

And this champagne gold crystal chandelier genuinely stepped up the bling factor…

The trick to a cozy, inviting bed? Layers! I used the old, original mattress and layered on a few comforters plus the quilt to make it extra full and plush. And it has passed the sleep test a few times with flying colors (genuinely soft sheets do not hurt, either!)

If only I could pick up this bedroom and take it with me for my next house…
