Rachel's Master Bedroom

5.25.2010
Recently, Rachel wrote to me for help with her master bedroom makeover:

Hi Lauren,

Here are pics of my master bedroom:

I wanted to do something with the fireplace. I am thinking of putting the TV over the fireplace and possibly putting built ins on the wall with the fireplace and a window seat. I want an upholshered bed, new night stands and an area rug. I can reupholster the chair or get a new one. I also want to take the large armoire and move it downstairs, but I have clothes in there that I need to store. I also need a new paint color and I was thinking white bedding, a duvet and sheets. Then I can change out the pillows. 
I am in to neutrals - beige and whites with touches of color in greens and blues ( not bright). I am excited to see what you come up with!
I have three boys 9,7 and 5 that ruin things so take that into consideration!

Best,

Rachel

What a great space, Rachel! I love the fireplace in the room. Here's what I came up with:




  • The group of three mirrors would go above the headboard in a horizontal row.
  • The bird prints would flank the window and drapes (two or three on each side).
  • The tall dresser would replace the oversized armoire and would be placed to the right side of the bed to balance out the door on the left.
  • I love your idea of placing the television above the fireplace and adding built ins on either side. You could go with white or a dark wood for the built ins.

  2. That pale blue (of the chair and bird print) is one of my fave shades for interiors - serene. Would be a nice shade in a nursery too...
