Master Bedroom Reveal

Alright y’all, the time has finally come for me to reveal our master bedroom updates!  If you’re new here, you can read up here, here, here and here to see more about the process I went through with Courtney to make these updates.  There are still some things that I’d like to tweak, and the wall on the other side of the room isn’t finished yet, but I feel like it’s come such a long way and I am LOVING.IT.  I have to send out a gigantic THANK YOU to Courtney, because without her, we would still be living in the “before”!  I feel so so blessed to have had our room chosen for her Just Four Things series, and I have to give her credit for the huge transformation!  So, Courtney, thank you, thank you, thank you!

(And also a quick thank-you to the Mr. for being patient and allowing me to re-do our room when he was perfectly happy with it the way it was.  Happy (early) birthday to me, right honey? )

So, before we see the “after” here is a quick reminder of where we were “before.”

And after working with Courtney on “Just Four Things,” here is the “after”!  (Sorry, it’s tough to get a good picture of the drapes because of all the sunlight that comes through those windows.)

Matt’s side of the nightstand with his “DAD” picture that I made him for Father’s Day.  (Which has been pinned like 5,000 times on Pinterest!  Who would have thought – it was just randomly inserted into one of Hadley’s monthly updates!)

The original plan was to stencil on the larger canvas, but when I put a sample on a piece of paper up there, it seemed to take away from the picture a little.  Do you think it looks too plain without anything on the back canvas?

And because who doesn’t love a good “before & after” comparison shot – here you go!

Most of the sourcing info can be found on Courtney’s blog, but here it is again in case you don’t want to go digging for it. 

Paint color: Sherwin Williams Quiver Tan

Bedding: Pottery Barn Grand Duvet in Sandalwood

Fabrics:  

1. {Euro Shams} P Kaufmann Indoor/Outdoor Woven Slick Mink

2. {Toss Pillows} Favell Floral Metro

3. {Bolster & bottom of drapes} Waverly Ellis Turquoise

Lamps: HomeGoods (for a steal! LOVE that place!)

Also, if you missed it before, I wrote a tutorial on how I made the euro shams – it was really super easy!

 

Okay, sorry for the picture overload… what do y’all think?!

Coleman Casa Home Tour

As you can tell from yesterday’s post, I love to look at other people’s homes/decorations.  Today, Poppies At Play is hosting a home tour, so I thought I’d join in, if for no other reason than to hopefully find some more inspiration for our home! 

So, come on in, y’all Sit a spell (on our un-stained-on-the-honey-do list rocking chairs)

Here’s our foyer – as I posted yesterday, I’d love to paint some horizontal stripes in there once our little munchkin can stay asleep for longer than 45 minutes at a time!

When you walk through the foyer, you’ll see our study on the right.  I let my husband have free reign in this room, so you’ll notice that every free inch of wall space has something hanging there.  He had to get his bachelor pad items in somewhere!  I’d still like to get a rug for in here, and paint that back wall (I’m thinking the same color as our guest bathroom…)

Please excuse the pile of mail on top of the filing cabinet… just keeping it real…

 

No really, he really did cover all the walls… notice the Sports Illustrated issues even hanging on either side of the french doors…

Next up is the dining room – Still a lot to do in here…

I did add a rug – but the picture quality isn’t that great.  Here it is anyways… Rug is from Ballard Designs.  We need some paint and a better center piece.  And I think I want to take down one of the pictures and hang some pretty plates on the wall.  Again… maybe some day!

Next up is the family room/breakfast nook/kitchen.  I love the paint color in here.  It only took 8 trips to Lowe’s to get it just right.  

(Please excuse College Gameday on the TV… we are big college football fans in this house)

Sorry some of these pictures are old – the mantle is obviously different in the above picture, and we’ve since added hardware to the cabinets in the kitchen…

Next up is a quick peek into our master.  This is our current work in progress, so I’m on the search for new bedding and the perfect paint color.  Currently, it is feeling pretty blah…

Here’s the laundry room – this was my first room in our house to paint and I really like how cheery it feels in here.

Next up is Hadley’s nursery… (this is getting to be the longest post – ever!) These were all taken before she arrived a little early, so some things have changed a bit, but you get the idea  

Next stop – guest bathroom.  I love the paint color in here.  It’s Paprika by Valspar (I think it’s a Martha Stewart color)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On to the guest room… the paint color in here is Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray.  Based on the two pictures below you can see how much it changes with the lighting.  Actual color is somewhere in between the two

A couple hall way shots on our way outside…

And to make a long story even longer – our favorite place to hang out is our back patio.  The landscape still has lots of growing to do (that’s the downside to buying new construction) but we love it back here!

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to check out the other homes on Poppies at Play!
