For our first post on the new domain we have a really big one. Our Master Bedroom Makeover is finally complete. After 10 months of being married and working on redoing and redecorating, it is finally done! Well I mean I still have a few pictures to hang on the wall but hey it’s practically done!
First, let me show you what it looked like before I arrived. Tyler had been living in the house for a couple of years before we got married, so it was a total man cave.
Check that out, for curtains he had football jerseys so you probably can’t even call those curtains. So here is what we started with, no paint on the walls, a mismatch of furniture and that’s about it. We didn’t plan on the fact that we would be blogging when we started this project so the before pictures are not that great, thanks Mom for snapping a few to show the family.
Our first step in fixing up this room was to get some matching furniture. So we hit up Ikea because that’s the place for young newlyweds on a budget, right?. Here is a shot before we painted when we had the new nightstands in the room.
You can see that this room is pretty small so we really needed to open it up and get rid of some of the bulkier pieces of furniture. The Ikea furniture has been great because it looks great and is a great space saver compared to what we had. Here is a picture of the big, bulky chest that we replaced.
Forgive our messiness but you see what we were living with, broken drawers and junk that needed to be cleaned up (and it was).
The first step was painting, we used Sherwin Williams Cashmere paint, Sheffield Gray. My dad was awesome and came in August and painted almost every room in our house in 3 1/2 days. He is a pro!
After painting we slowly finished switching out our furniture and we then redid our headboard which turned out so so good. So check out some pictures of our newly redone master bedroom!
Here is a nice shot of the headboard in our bedroom, I’m kind of in love with it.
We are sticking with a black and white theme throughout for anything that goes on the wall. My sister made these canvases for us using some of our engagement pictures.
Here is a good shot of the left side of the room, looking from the doorway (Dolly wanted to be in all the pictures).
And here is the right side of the room, notice the adorable curtains my mom made for us! The new mirror also added a lot to the room, Tyler was not so sure until we got it in there.
Another angle which gives you a better view of the curtains and a shot of the cute wedding gift from our friends Matt and Katie.
Another shot, this one is with the beautiful pillows. We had removed them before to show the headboard off.
And the last shot, this dresser replaced the big bulky brown one so you can see what a difference that made.
And there is our Master Bedroom, we love it! Such a difference and it was a pretty easy project even if it did take awhile to finish.
I love the big mirror above the dresser! I’m just moving out on my own and can’t wait to decorate my place! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, I was so excited to find that mirror! Decorating is so much fun! Enjoy it! I hope you will be sharing it on your blog. Give us a follow on Facebook or Twitter and hope you will stick around to see what else we come up with!

Nice work! Love the blue walls with the espresso Ikea, the place to shop for any budge!
I love ikea. So many fun things at great prices!
Emily, I love your space. I think my favorite part (besides all of the nice touches you added) are your ceilings! So much character! Thank you for stopping by and commenting on our Home Tour and best wishes on life in your new house next month!

Thank you Brandy! We really loved it but we are looking forward to having a new place to decorate!
Stopping over from your SITS Day. Big improvement. I have almost the same color on my Master Bedroom walls.
Thank you for coming over! I love that color!
Emily
I love the b&w pictures on canvas! Personal touches can really make a room. Great job!
Visiting from SITS today. Enjoy!
Me too! Thank you for coming by the blog!
Emily
Beautiful! Love the B&W for all the photographs and quotes.
Thank you 🙂 We had fun decorating it!
Emily
How sweet of your parents to help you in such practical ways. Congrats!
They are wonderful like that! Thank you for coming by the blog!
Emily
Really cute! I wish I was that style-savvy when I first married. Love the “football” curtains–reminds me of something my husband would have had :).
Thank you, I am trying. Yes the football curtains were a hoot!
Emily
I love the color scheme… so cool and perfect for sleeping. Looks like your dog loves it too – beautiful! (stopping in from SITS…)
Thank you! Yes she does. Glad to have you come by the blog!
Emily
I love the valance over the blinds. It looks like a cozy room that could be bright and sunny with the blinds open, too. Enjoy your SITS Day.
Thank you! My mom made the valance for us!
Emily
Great transformation. Definitely an improvement from the football jersey “curtains”. 🙂 Happy SITS Day!
Haha it is such an improvement! Thank you for coming over.
Emily
Wow, what a dramatic difference! I love the sleek new dressers and the paint–it looks so calm and chic. I feel like mirrors really do make a difference in a small room, too.
Happy SITS day, BTW!!
Thank you for coming over! I loved how the bedroom turned out!
Emily
Great job! Those angled ceilings are always difficult to work around with furniture, aren’t they? You really did a fantastic job though! Thanks for posting!
(Stopping by from SITS and glad to be here!)
Thank you! Yes they are hard to work around. Glad to have you come by the blog!
Emily
It looks awesome! I hope you continue to love it for a very long time.
We actually just moved to another state, I was sad to leave it. But we have a beautiful new Master Bedroom to work with now.
Emily
Looks great – and we have those same annoying sloped ceilings. SO hard to work with but you made it awesome!
Yes they really are so hard to work with. Thank you for coming by the blog!
Emily
That wall color looks so good with the black and whites and the dark wood. Great combo!
Thank you! We loved how it turned out.
Emily
I am looking to redecorate my room. Your post gave me some great ideals. Coming to your from SITS Girls.
Thank you for coming over. I love how the room turned out!
Emily
Such a difference! I like the accent mirror. Enjoy your SITS Day.
Thank you, I love the mirror too. Now to find a spot for it in the new house.
Emily
Happy SITS Day!
Looks great in there.
One suggestion: Push the 2 Malm Dressers together (the ones under the TV) to make it look more uniformed and like a one piece dresser rather than it look like 2. It creates a streamlined look and therefore less cluttered.
Keep it Touched,

Thank you for coming over. We’ve moved to a new house now but that is a great suggestion, unfortunately the plugs got in the way haha.
Emily
WOW! That’s a great transformation. What a lovely room. 🙂 Isn’t it amazing how a few things can completely change a room? Good work!
Happy SITS Day!
Yes it really is. I just love how it is so easy to change a room. Thank you for coming over!
Emily
This looks great! I love the color choice it seems so calming. Wow to the redo of the headboard. That looks amazing and like a totally different piece. Congrats on the new room and Happy SITS Day 🙂
Thank you! I absolutely love how the headboard turned out. Thanks for coming over!
Emily
Love the mirror over your dresser – the room looks great!
Thank you! We are trying to find a place for it in the new house!
Emily
Beautiful job and really cute dog 🙂
Thank you 🙂 We love her!
Emily
We are in such need of a master bedroom makeover. Ours is horrible and we’ve been in our house for years so we have very little excuse. Love the new room! Visiting from SITS.
It is so much fun to do the makeover of a room and you can really do a nice one for a good price. Thank you for coming over!
Emily
Wow HUGE transformation! And very beautiful! It definitely opened up the room, and it may just be the time of day, but it looks like more natural light is shining through!
Oh, and Happy SITS day! : )
Thank you! We loved the transformation! Thank you for checking out the blog!
Emily
Love the paint color and how well it goes with the furniture. Nice sconces too!
Thank you 🙂
Emily
Looks awesome….definitely needed a bit of a feminine touche in there! My husband and I have a very similar color scheme going on in our bedroom, and we actually recently changed up some of the furniture (which was very much needed). Nothing like a fresh look for a room! Happy (belated) SITS day!
We got new bedroom furniture just recently so now all of that is in our guest room. It is fun to change things up when you can!
Emily
Hi from SITS! Very nice makeover you guys did! I must admit, before I scrolled down, I was a bit wary of the choice of paint color to open the room up, but I was pleasantly surprised! It looks great, you guys did a fantastic job!
Your remodeling looks like something REAL people do, not those super professional interior design remodels, btw and I think that’s great. Gives hope for the rest of us!
Hi! Thank you for coming by and checking it out! I was wary of the color too but it turned out good! We really enjoyed the outcome!
Emily
That is almost the same exact blue I put in my bathroom. Such a chic, peaceful color.
Yes I love this color! Thank you for coming over!
Emily
Thanks so much for showing us your room makeover! I’m drooling over that wall color you used – thanks for sharing the name with us… I hope you had a wonderful SITS Day, so sorry I missed it, I got so behind after getting back from Bloggy Boot Camp in Dallas, and I’m just now starting to get my head above water!
I love the look of your site, you did a wonderful job – great design choices! 😀
Thank you! Thank you for coming by the blog and checking it out! Glad to have you.
Emily
I LOVE that mirror. Is the frame metal?
Thank you! No it’s not. It’s a Martha Stewart mirror from Home Depot!
