Welcome to our Rustic Chic Master Bedroom.
There is a rustic headboard, burlap banner and industrial-esque lamps.
But there’s also a trellis-inspired stenciled wall, a crisp white pin-tuck duvet cover, yellow ceramic knobs and vintage looking throw pillows.
All combined with a color scheme of moody deep gray with splashes of sunny yellow.
Rustic Chic.
Sometimes a room’s final design comes to me right away, but sometimes it takes living in the space for awhile – in the case of our master bedroom at this house, a few months – to ‘see’ it.
As always, budget was a big consideration.
And quite frankly we loved several elements of our old master bedroom. You know the tiny bedroom from our bungalow – the one that was featured in Casa Romantica Shabby Chic and on Steven and Chris.
Yeah, that one.
But this time the house and even the room seemed to need a cozier, moodier look.
And this room is rockin’ the cozy factor!
We of course reused the duvet and table lamps. And we actually reused the Trellis stencil too, but this time with a whole lot more contrast.
Just after Christmas we purchased all new dressers and nightstands – something we haven’t done for over a decade. They’re not super fancy, but even new Ikea pieces can be pretty!
We collected and purchased several small accent pieces.
And we customized the nightstands with bright yellow knobs. They’re just like jewelry for furniture.
We were also thoroughly in love with our reclaimed wood-look headboard and burlap love banner.
So why not recreate the look?
I’d say we’re about 85% finished in this room, because a few items (like baseboards and windows) are part of ‘whole house’ projects.
paint wallsbuy new dressers and nightstandssew new pillow covers from some yellow and gray Joel Dewberry fabric I bought from etsybrighten up the knobs on the nightstands for contrast- get a new dust ruffle/bedskirt (I’ve found what I want, just waiting for it to be in stock at Target)
DIY a headboard, possibly the same as our old master bedroom’s headboardadd some more art- install a new window
(this one is leaking)(Dean fixed the leak, but new windows would still be a good idea) - replace all the baseboards (in the whole house!)
- change the interior doors to white ones with more character than the existing hollow core doors
- also redo or replace the floors

May 29, 2013 at 7:22 amWow, what a gorgeous space! I do like the wall treatment and I like it that you just put the stencil on one wall, nicely done! The yellow is perfect in there too, just the right amount of “pop”! Very well put together you two!!
Shannon says
May 29, 2013 at 9:05 amYes! I think more than one wall of that high contrast may have been too much. For us anyway. But the one wall makes my heart skip a beat and brings a great big smile to my face! Mr. AKA kinda likes it too. 😉

May 29, 2013 at 11:38 amLove the stencilled wall Shannon. How long did it take you to do? I’d love to stencil a wall or two in my bedroom but I’m afraid it would take me forever…lol.
Shannon says
May 29, 2013 at 11:49 amThe one wall took a couple of afternoons. The biggest time drain I found was waiting for the stencil itself to dry between sections…there was always a little that got on the back side, which meant I had to let it dry or it would make a mess on the wall when I repositioned it. Not too bad for such a big impact!

September 16, 2015 at 3:37 amHello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after looking at a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me. Nonetheless, I’m certainly delighted I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back often!|

December 14, 2015 at 10:02 pmI actually really like the headboard and think I could do it myself. If it looks half as good as yours, I’ll be a happy camper. Thanks Anne
