Master Bedroom Refresh on a Lazy Wednesday Afternoon

It’s no secret that our bedroom is in my top 3 DIY transformations to date.  The shiplap wall using reclaimed barn wood from my dad’s old barn revolutionized this room. You can catch that post here.  I enjoyed creating a cozy lodge style space last fall, but now I am ready for a change.

With all the preparations for Lauren’s graduation behind me, I escaped to my creative place today in hopes of conceiving a more light and airy Master Bedroom Decor for summer. Without spending a dime, I shopped my home, and once again surprised myself with what I found. 😉

Master Bedroom Decor Ideas

This photo shows a good before picture.  The first thing I did was remove the driftwood garland, ornamental iron headboard piece, and boxwood wreath from the window.  The iron piece on the headboard just unscrewed 🙂

I love the simple change this made.  I know, the twinkly lights were so fun, don’t worry.. I can’t not have twinkly lights 😉

Next, I moved this faux fur rug and placed it at the foot of the bed.  That inspired a boho chic approach which drew to mind a garland to hang between the sconces.

What may surprise you is the material I chose to cut apart in order to make the garland.

I was in my closet looking for remnants of a cotton tablecloth I began to piece apart some time ago, and in doing so, came across a couple negligee I received at my wedding shower 21 years ago.  I shook the dust off… 😉 and saw that the intricate details would serve as a stunning touch to the garland.

I bet I’m far from being the only one who still holds on to novelties such as this.  So, here’s an easy way to display them proud!!

I began by cutting both the leftover piece of tablecloth and negligee into strips.  What a simple and special way to preserve this memento I could never throw away.

I used white tissue tulle for the main ribbon.

As I was tying the pieces of material to the garland, visions of hanging flowers came to mind.  I am so thankful for the vast variety of Afloral stems I have accumulated through the past months.  Soft pink tulips would do the trick.

I love the way it came out!  After finishing the garland, I carefully lowered the vintage window to sit atop the headboard.  It just looked better with it lowered slightly.

 

After I finished the garland, I fetched that fun pillow from my office, and rescued those newly painted lanterns from the wet outdoors.

I was so pleased with the stunning elegance created, but gosh darn it, I love twinkly lights 😀

I originally wanted to use that branch sitting next to the bed, but I am still pondering how and where I want to use it, so for now it’s dressed in lights <3

The garland is still a favorite item of decor, and it sits pretty all on it’s own.

So there ya have it.  A wonderfully productive Wednesday in my book 🙂

I would love to hear from you!  As always, any items you may be interested in purchasing are linked for you <3  See you soon!
