Our master bedroom has been a work in progress (and that's a polite way of putting it) for over a year now. I wanted to show you my new headboard -- handmade by my friend Toni Anne and I yesterday.
We made a plywood and 2X4 base, covered it with foam, batting and a white quilt and voila -- an upholstered headboard. Of course, that makes it sound like it was a breeze to create but let me tell you -- it was a big job! But we are thrilled with the way it turned out. We may be making one for her next. :)
So, that's the master bedroom so far. I still have some ideas -- I'd like to decoupage some prints on the folding screen, and paint the dresser, and get a rug... But it's definitely coming along. :)
Oh, and please excuse the messy bedside tables. I didn't have time to style the photos. lol
I'm linking this post to Cindy's Show & Tell Friday. Thanks, dear Cindy, for hosting such a fun event!

You know, I didn't even notice the bed stands because I was in awe of the beautiful bed. I love the headboard and the colors of your bedding are gorgeous. Carla
ReplyDeleteWork in progress?! This looks like a hotel to me and makes my bedroom look very sad and depressing! Granted I just moved two weeks ago but still... I doubt mine will look like this any time soon. Great job and can't wait to see what you consider a finished product! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Mary! Y'all did a great job on your headboard. Love how peaceful and restful your room looks. I love love love your throw at the end of your bed and those pillow shams. I've been looking for something similar to put at the end of my bed!

It's looking great Mary! Everyone of our beds has a home made headboard, big impact for little $$$. Check out my March 9th post - Zee Boudoir . Your room is truly lovely but was surprised not to see even a little bit of red. ; )
ReplyDeleteHi Mary
ReplyDeletela tua camera da letto mi piace molto... si, anch'io farei del decoupage allo schermo pieghevole.
Happy day.
Mary~~~
ReplyDeleteYour room is stunning! I love the pretty colors you have chosen and the headboard turned out perfect! How peaceful!

Light blue and white bedrooms always look so calming and peaceful. Your headboard came out wonderful. It looks like it was worth all the work as it adds just the right touch to your bed.

ReplyDeleteCindy
Mary your Master bedroom is awesome...so well done..looks so relaxing with the color pallet.....you must love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! That is really an inspirtional idea. I like how you did it in white so if you want, you can change the color scheme of the room.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting a new weekly meme "Summer Sundays". It's all about what summer means to YOU! I know you have a serious stash of photos so I think you'll come up with something! I think it will be interesting to see what everyone comes up with. Hope you can join us.

Wow!! Lovely pictures and a fabulous room. I am hosting a Giveaway from CSN stores. Do stop by my blog. I would love to see you there! Take care Anu.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Mary, I was just scrolling through a Better Homes and Gardens article on bedrooms and, I have to say, this is as pretty (even prettier) than anything that they had featured there.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, it looks like you have the same things on your bedside tables as I do. JK! =] Well, no, really, you do, but, I didn't study it - just noticed that it looked the same. =]
Anyhoo, you are majorly encouraging me because, that is my project for the next couple of weeks. I might just survive. I was actually thinking of doing the same thing to a screen as you did to your headboard. I'll let you know if I get there.
Thanks for sharing!
Love, Katy
Lovely soothing colours you have used in your bedroom. A wonderful place to get a good nights rest. Valerie
ReplyDeleteWhat a restful and elegant room! Love the new headboard. I think decoupage on that screen would be delightful and give some whimsy to the room.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Oh, Mary, thank you so much for your tutorial on making a mosaic! I just made my first one today. I had photos that seemed too insignificant to list on their own but, together, they got the point across wonderfully! That was so much fun! I can't wait for a chance to do one when I actually know what I'm doing. =]
ReplyDeleteLove, Katy
Your room is stunning and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful color, your room looks fantastic! It was fun to come back for a visit and see all that you've been doing.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job....smiles.
