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

I thought maybe it would be helpful to have a specific post for each of the rooms in our house. That way if you had any questions about where we got something, you could find it easily in one place!

What do you think of the new look? How about the paint contrast with the trellis stencil?
Okay seriously I am in love with this room. I am a true believer that styles should be mixed and you should never be stuck in one box so I am a fan of the mixing here. Fabulous Job.

Thank you so much, Lisa!!! We are so in love with it too!
Such a pretty bedroom. I love the grey/white/yellow.
Thank you, Nancy!
Wow, 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!!
Yes! 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. 😉
Shannon,
It’s fabulous! I really really like the stencil on the wall. It’s a lot of work you put in.
Royal Design Studio makes a GREAT stencil!
Love 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.
The 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!
Oh my, what a gorgeous space you’ve created! So beautiful – pinned!
Thanks for linking up to the Inspiration Exchange!!
It is really fabulous!! I love the stencil and headboard with bunting and your furniture and accessories all work fabulously together. What a lovely space!!

Thank you, Krista! It’s so relaxing h in this room! One of the best parts is that we can see the stencil and headboard from the bed – in the mirrored closet doors!
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful bedroom at Project Inspired Shannon! I love the new look of your bedroom – job well done!
I love that stenciled wall!!!!
Thank you so much!
Your stenciling is lovely!
Thank you, Melanie!
We have the same Ikea set!! I am LOVING how you utilized them. And that wall… stunning!
Thank you, so much, Jess! Do you have the set in the gray-brown too?
gorgeous!
gorgeous!
Hello! 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!|
I 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
Good luck – it’s a pretty simple project!
