Plus a new “Design Under the Influence”
As I mentioned last week, we did a mini makeover on our master bedroom. I’ll have more “official” photos to share soon, but here’s a first look!
I wanted to change up the mood, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money. That means no new furniture. Boo. What’s left were these cost-effective steps, over a few months’ time:
#1…Throw a cowhide (IKEA!) over our old headboard
#2…Swap our duvet for a bright white one (with block print sheets from Target)
#3…Paint all the walls dark gray (Ralph Lauren’s Mombasa Mist)
#4…Move the curtain rod up, and add floor-to-ceiling Belgian linen drapes (I waited for a sale!)
#5…Hang a Sputnik chandelier for contrast (Z Gallerie, $299)
#6…Throw in a house plant for texture ($13 from our local hardware store)
(#7 is in progress…looking for a big gold mirror for over the dresser!)
/
Once I get #7 done, I’ll be sure to share more! (And I realized yesterday, it will round out my “5 pieces” formula!)
In the meantime, since I’ve been obsessing over Sputnik chandeliers the past month, I thought I would make you do the same. Check out my new “Design Under the Influence” post today on these mid-century icons!
I’m really loving your sputnik! The room is feeling moody and sexy. I love it!
love love love! The cowhide over your headboard is genius.
the sputnik looks fab!!! Will click on over to learn more. I love the price too :)
YES!!! i absolutely love these dark, sexy tones with the added airiness of white…such a lovely bedroom…i don’t think i would ever want to leave! XO brynn
There is nothing like a crisp white duvet! It looks gorgeous!
tres chic, girl! I love your spin on design. Always so clean and classic, but with a definite edge. I dig the cowhide.
Looks great E! I’ve been looking for a reasonable Sputnik for our entryway forever, I can’t wait to look this up.
UGH!!! SO GOOD!!!
This is awesome! That print above your bed is the best. Where is that from/who is the artist?
Where did you get the duvet and throw pillow?
Hi Brooke, the duvet was bought in a One Kings Lane sale, and the pillow is from West Elm (silver snakeskin with linen back).
I would also love to know where the painting over the bed is from. It is fantastic!
Hi Beth, it’s from a few years back, Z Gallerie.
Love the painting! Where is it from???
Hi there! Love your room! I have a question for your window treatments.. did you use sheers and a double rod? Thanks
I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much
more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.
Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Great work!
