re/Master-ed

Any new parent knows what it's like to bring home your first child- you pretty much live in your bedroom surrounded by all that baby gear (bassinet, burp cloths, diaper changing supplies, etc.) - you will pretty much bring anything into your room that makes those early a.m. waking hours easier on you and your spouse.

After several weeks spent with our master bedroom cluttered by all things baby, I decided to reclaim the space and do a little makeover. Plus, countless hours of late night Pinterest while tending to baby will make you antsy for a change. I found myself drawn to a more "eclectic" look that was borderline Bohemien-- much like an Anthropologie catalog.

The room as it was featured a blue wall which I had painted when we moved in (and still loved), an old headboard and some very thrown together, drab bedding.


I made my way to Home Goods with a budget of $250, but made it out of there for under $175 and found these key pieces for our master makeover...


I also knew that we were in desperate need a new headboard and thanks to Pinterest, power tools and a husband we were able to get one for under $100...(visit thatredheadedsister.com for the DIY headboard project information). 

-- AND DRUM ROLL PLEASE --



When I saw this painting I had to have it, but sent a picture of it to the hubs first to make sure it wasn't too girly to cramp his style-- I win.



Love this authentic CHANEL magazine advertisement I found on Etsy from the late 60's. Add a simple frame, and viola!




So pleased with the new look, and now I'm off to the next space to re/do.
