A New Bed and Layout – Cozier and More Space!

We recently decided that after twenty four years, it was okay to purchase a new bed, which then resulted in a new room layout. It may have had something to do with our middle daughter getting married and moving most of her bedroom furniture out 😉 After all, her old bedroom will now serve as a guest room, so this seemed like the perfect excuse to upgrade ours.

NEW BED

I have had my sights on this particular canopy bed since seeing it in my sister’s home over a year ago.  She purchased the white one, and it looks perfect in her farmhouse.  My original vision was to re-purpose and drape the sheers we used in Lauren’s wedding, but ended up like the naked look best. 

Specifics:

Novogratz Marion Canopy Bed Frame, Black, Queen

  • Queen dimensions: 82.5”L x 62”w x 73”h. Weight limit: 500 lb.
  • Built-in headboard and footboard (bed Height is 73″). Clearance beneath the bed can be used for storage (11″)
  • Available in black, gold, white, and dark gray

I love to rearrange furniture!! Problem is, I can rarely manage it on my own, so it takes some convincing before the hubby will agree.  My argument stands true – it’s such an easy way to give a room a whole new vibe.  Because we had to completely dismantle and move our old bed out, he was on board 🙂

After adding on to our home fifteen years ago, our bedroom became longer and gained an extra door.  We decided to move the bed in front of the wall of windows. This simple modification created an illusion of a wider space instead of longer.  It also opened up ample room on either side of the bed that we lacked previously.

We finally found new matching nightstands from At Home and they match our large dresser almost perfectly.  As you can see, they are even smart 😉

We moved the large dresser in front of the feature wall and we made a cozy reading nook on the opposite side of the room. The new layout makes the our bedroom feel much larger now.  Sure, it may not be ideal to have the bed in front of the windows for multiple reasons, but the overall aesthetic is enough to warrant the change in my book. 

new bed and warmer tones

New Bedding

I have been craving warmer tones lately, so it was all the heart eyes for this deep blush velvet quilt. This chunky knit blanket added contrast, texture, and extra warmth if needed.  A room always feels extra inviting with layered pillows and blankets.  We added this bed wrap from Standard Textile. It provides a clean look and hides what is stored beneath our bed.

    Well done Martha! You are always so good with re-purposing and re-imagining a space. The colors are beautiful, and a perfect “soft” Fall look. Your vision is impeccable, and I love what you did with this room my friend :)xo

Gimme #allthingshygge this time year, yes? Just re Gimme #allthingshygge this time year, yes? Just received the Ca-UTEST #happymail from @thegrowingcandle and I’m smitten with Norah 😍 From the chic packaging down to the artwork on the instruction inserts, this #smallshop nailed it all!! @thegrowingcandle is doing their part to help save our planet by encouraging us candle lovers to slow down and be present. Once your candle can no longer hold it’s flame, fill the pot with soil, and plant the label 👏🏻 Soon, you will have a sweet little plant to enjoy. I la la la looove this concept and can’t help but think of what a sweet Valentine’s Day surprise this would be for many 💞 The back of each card is a gorgeous water color that you could frame too!

My top five elements of cozy: •throw pillows • My top five elements of cozy:
•throw pillows
•throw blanket
•foliage (fresh or faux)
•decorative tray (table, books, tray)
•candle or lights
My lamp is obviously turned off in this photo, but it’s still in place.  You can repeat these key items all over your house. If a space in your home feels empty, or like it’s lacking “something”, maybe just pop in one or two of these elements. Remember to think outside the box.

You’ll have to zoom in to see. While rummaging t You’ll have to zoom in to see. While rummaging through a basket full of linens as I was re-organizing our bathroom closet, I found those euro shams 😍 I forgot I had them!! Look at the gold edging, it’s the perfect compliment to my new quilt! I had another pair so similar to these in a cart online 😮 I can’t remember where I even got these (which is no help to you), but I love the quilted pattern. This is why yearly purging and organizing is good for the soul.
1. It’s a chance to donate or sell un-needed/wanted items. 
&
2. Items we already have can seem new again 🙃

I’ll be giving you a bathroom organization tour later in stories❣️
