Drumroll please. Strike up the band. Drop the confetti. Release the doves…
We’re thrilled to share Stacie’s stunning Young House Love–inspired master bedroom transformation. A few weeks ago we created a mood board, and Stacie moved quickly to put the plan into action. The result is a far more dramatic and beautiful makeover than we expected.
Here are a few “before” shots:
Stacie wanted a lighter, brighter room with a clean, contemporary feel and a touch of Hollywood Regency. She chose to keep the existing headboard, dresser, TV, pendant lights, and window shades. Our mood board provided the direction she needed to transform the space.
And here’s Stacie’s transformed “after” — a fresh, polished bedroom created with many items from the mood board plus a few inspired additions:
The makeover hinged on a new wall color and an updated color scheme, along with painting the frame around the existing headboard and adding a seating area anchored by a white arc lamp. Stacie didn’t need to buy every item from the mood board; she interpreted the concept in her own way, which saved money while achieving a cohesive look.
Can’t thank you enough for all the design advice and help. You have inspired me to overhaul my dark, cave-like bedroom, and the outcome is amazing. The mood board was so awesome! Some of the ideas I took exactly from you, and some I interpreted in my own way. The main thing is the paint color. I’m not the best at paint colors, often painting 3 times until I get a color I like. But I threw caution to the wind and just put up exactly what you recommended and I LOVE IT!!!!!! So bright, airy and calming at the same time. Painting the radiator to the left of the fireplace a dark color to balance my dresser was genius. Love the arc lamp you found too, and painting the headboard was the best idea. I decided on a bolder rug, and different bedding but I added in the cool blue green color you suggested with pillows (on the cheap from Marshall’s) and a $13.00 velvet throw for the reading chair. These pics don’t even do it justice but I wanted to get some afters to you asap. I am now a loyal fan and daily reader of your blog… keep up the good work!! – Stacie
We adore Stacie’s refreshed master bedroom and her hard work bringing the vision to life. We’d love to hear what you think—share your compliments, ask questions, or steal a few ideas for your own space.
