It has been nearly six years since our master bedroom was featured on Wayfair!
It’s simple before and after images had so many views it left me scratching my head as to what really was drawing people in? It was not an expensive makeover, the furniture was half hand-me-down half new. It took me years to figure out why such a basic room makeover left such an impact on its viewers. All of the things that made me feel a bit self conscious about submitting the content (worried it wasn’t enough of a “WOW” factor) were the exact reason why it was so popular. It was relatable!!
It was affordable, it was tangible, and it was a room that so many of us often neglect.
Master bedrooms are forever the space that turn into a strange mix of new and old that is not intentional, so most of the time it never goes together. A room that is just thrown together with the essentials, because after all, we just sleep there, right?
WRONG!
Time spent in our master bedrooms is far greater than any of us realize. Sleeping 6-8 hours a night is obvious, but think about getting ready morning and night. Doing chores, folding laundry, relaxing or just unwinding before you go to bed. This room is more than likely the very space you go to as a retreat, and this space should feel welcoming and comfortable to be in for whatever time frame that is!
The amount of messages that flooded into my Instagram when I announced this makeover and revealed what our current space looks like, was crazy! Immediately we bonded over the fact that the majority of us are grown-ass adults still neglecting our master bedrooms!
It’s time to give our masters some T.L.C.
At first, I planned to purchase a new bed. After searching and searching, I quickly realized how silly it was to replace a piece in our room that is in perfect condition and is so comfortable. Why take the risk ordering new bed, only to be disappointed? I decided to take a bit of the bed budget and just move it towards the rug!
Here are the links for all of the pieces above – which, you guys, I am dying. The biggest splurges were the rug and the curtains – everything else is such a great price! Get ordering before these babies sell out!
