This is now my favorite room in the house… and currently the only clean room in the house. The makeover for our bedroom began in October when I won the gift card to HomeGoods from The Inspired Room. Since then it has been a journey. One that I could see never ending if I didn’t commit to a deadline. And today is it.
Nathan and I talked about what we wanted for this room, our room… tranquility, relaxation and peace. We wanted a room inspired by nature and the color white. When we shopped at HomeGoods, we were drawn to all the white decorations in the store. We purchased beautiful decorations for the room using the $200 gift card. We also bought a drapery rod on Black Friday. Then I made simple drapes, actually two set of drapes. The first set were too cream colored for me. Those will be going in another room. And we painted the room a grayish blue color called Polaris. I am in love with this color. Everything else is accented with white and nickel colored metal. If you made something inspired by Simply Modern Mom, please upload pictures of it in our Flickr group to show it off to everyone. You may be featured on Simply Modern Mom.
Here we go with the before (and more before info here) and the after pictures…
So, what do you think? I love it. Other things we’ve done to the room… First, the craft supplies from the cubed bookshelf are now in my newly finagled craft closet downstairs. I needed a place where ALL my craft stuff can call home rather than some here some there throughout our house.
Second, the ugly covered green couch has relocated to the children playroom. That’s something they can spill on and jump on without me worrying about it.
Third, still no bed frame or headboard. But I concocted a simple solution using thrift store frames, ribbons and door knobs. Tutorial for this coming tomorrow.
Forth, at the last minute (as in last Thursday), I came up with an idea to paint a tree on canvas for one of the large empty walls in the room. I have an obsession for trees. Nothing more beautiful in nature than trees. I finished the canvas painting right before the photo shoot with only one layer of sealant. I will be finishing it up this weekend. But it did make it in the shoot. More on this tree canvas in a later post.
Fifth, my parents gave me the wall shelves that I asked Santa for this Christmas. Then we purchased a couple corner shelves. It worked out perfectly. Nathan also sanded the square framed mirrors and spray painted them white.
Sixth, we moved the cubed shelf to the end of our bed and filled with with white colored spine books. Minor details.
And lastly, the filing cabinet moved into our closet and replaced with this table purchased from HomeGoods.
That’s it. That’s the tour of our new room. Any suggestions?
I really like your tree painting! I’ve been wanting to do some art for our bedroom as well, and I actually saw a pillow with a tree that looks similar to your painting (it might have been on Sew Mama Sew during their scrap month). Your room is lovely!
A fabulous and thrifty makeover–love it! Your tree art is amazing, too.
Wow! What an amazing job you did. I especially love those white vases that look like they have flowers on them. I need ‘em!!! Beautiful beautiful retreat you’ve made yourselves
I too came over from the Inspired Room. I love the small touches: the white-spined books and the stand in for the head board. Add some more items that are the color of the guitar. Maybe make some twine covered balls in various shades of the browns – add more natural colored elements.
I will be looking for more info on how you created those trees – they are wonderful.
love it! great job.
So pretty, calm and serene, and BEAUTIFUL! Perfect master bedroom. thanks for showing us!
Tiffany! Your room looks great! I love the clean lines, the color and the frames above your bed. It is awesome!!!!
XOXO

WOW! I absolutely LOVE the color of the room. Just so peaceful and serene. Absolutely lovely.
Very pretty makeover! Congrats on your Homegoods win. I got in on a shopping spree with them last year too & had a blast. Love, love Homegoods!
I’m so glad Melissa sent us over! You did a marvelous job! It’s so peaceful! Exactly what a bedroom is supposed to feel like! I love all the soft colors and the tree art is absolutely gorgeous!
If you needed a softer color on the bedskirt you could try a dropcloth. I think it would go perfectly with your comforter. I did one and actually just glued the material straight to the box springs! So professional…NOT! But I love it. If you’re interested, here’s the link.
It looks so fresh and relaxing Tiffany, well done!
So lovely. Excellent choice of blue on those walls, so serene ! I adore that art on your walls. Lovely, just lovely !
It looks very peaceful and uncluttered. Great Job
What a sensational job you did on your make-over. Just a few more little things here and there and you are perfect! (Headboard) Have you thought about mounting a board over the bed that you have padded and covered in fabric to accentuate your beautiful spread? Terrific job you guys!
So pretty and peaceful!! I wouldn’t change a thing!!
You did a wonderful job. It is now a beautiful room. I love it! Don’t you just love decorating with white? God bless you!
Gorgeous makeover! I love your color choice and all the white accents. I especially like your canvas tree- that’s very cool!
All I can say is…wow! I love everything! We just added a master onto our house andI needed some inspiration. I can’t wait for the tutorial on those frames…just what I want to do above our bed. Happy New Year~
I have an obsession with trees too and I would love to get those wall hangings. You made them?
I love the color & am also curious about what paint you used. I’m anticipating your post about your tree art. Gorgeous!
I love bedrooms with clean lines. I’m usually not a fan of blue, but this blue is nice. Your bedroom now says come in and unwind.
I love it! I especially love the light blue walls and white decor. It’s so classy, but homey at the same time. Great job!
Love the rooms and your sense of decor…Its so fresh yet tranquil!! And the tree is awesome, do share the tutorial on it please..Oh yes, I’m obsessed with trees and leaves too, so you can check my crafts with them at my blog- http://kosmicchai.blogspot.com.. Will look forward to your visit!!
