Hacienda Hideaway Primary Bedroom Reveal
Revealing the Bali-style primary bedroom suite at the Hacienda Hideaway! A DIY and budget-friendly renovation.
Crossing another room off our completed list today with one of my favorites—the primary bedroom! Let us go back to the very beginning…
Before
It is quite a spacious room, measuring 16'5″ x 16'10”.
There are french doors leading to the patio, an ensuiteMediterranean bathroom, and closet.
The only issue was this very off-center high window, which I had to find a creative solution for.
Inspiration
I wanted a cozy, calming and luxurious vacation feel for our guests, and found inspiration to help guide the design direction:
Progress
A focal ceiling was the first order of business. We squared off the tray ceiling and added DIY box beams, just like we did with the rest of the bedrooms.
To make this one extra special, The choice was to fill in the recessed area with dark bamboo fencing. The slats were installed individually, and sit inside a channel between the top of the beam and the ceiling.
Next, we had to address that awkward window. The choice was to go ahead and cover it up entirely with a floor to ceiling headboard. The room already has natural light thanks to the french doors, so the window would not be missed.
We gave it the sameVenetian Plaster treatmentas our living room fireplace (the photo above shows after two coats but a third was needed to even it out).
Next, Lucas built a custom king sized bed frame with two pull-out twin trundle beds. We needed this room to sleep four guests, and after going through many configurations, decided that this approach made the most sense.
Finally, a canopy hanger was made from wood rods, ceiling brackets and corner connectors(stained and painted dark brown to blend in with the ceiling).
Reveal
Step inside our Bali bedroom suite…
I do not know about you, but this is the room I would want to sleep in on vacation…
The gauze fabric was purchased by the foot, cut down and rod pockets iron-hemmed. It is the same fabric I used for our Tropical Oasis primary bedroom a few years ago.
I found this cool handmade Moroccan bench on Etsy thought it was too good to be true at that price. The leather was a different color than advertised, but it is still well composed and an memorable value. The palm fiber pendant lightsare also handmade from Morocco, and I scored them on sale for just $36.
I waited patiently and snagged both the arched mirrorand tapestry on sale—both great deals even without the price drops!
The Loloi/CLJ Jules rug looks great in just about any room, and it is on sale right now (this is the 8'6″x11'6″). Noticing a theme here? Everything is budget-friendly! 😉
Love this peek-a-boo view from the primary bathroom.
Here is a view of the trundle beds set up, and the view from the other side of the room:
Not too bad for a DIY renovation on a budget, right? I hope our guests never want to leave!
