For now, I am calling it good,
For now the nightstand on this side is staying. Just a couple of the new accessories that I found on my recent shopping spree and one of the new lamps.
I am keeping the same drapes and just a throw and pillows are enough for the settee.
I think the headboard is the star of the show. Remember how it looked when I bought it.
I painted it black, sanded and then went over it with mahogany stain highlighting some areas.

Cost Breakdown So Far -
Headboard $79
New Lamps and Accessories $120
The rest of the accessories and buffet I already had, just shopped the house.
Just a reminder of the before.

The old family pictures are being relocated to the guest bedroom.
I love the changes and I think a huge upgrade for $200.
I just found a great night stand, so now I only have to find that wonderful dresser.
Thanks for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.

The bedroom is looking beautiful. How lucky to have that piece sitting in the garage. I love your vignettes. I love the new look.
ReplyDeleteI like your bedroom changes that you have made. Love the pops of blue to the room now! Your garden stool is perfect for your magazines.
ReplyDeleteLove your redone bedroom! The touches of blue are beautiful. Also love how you staggered the heights of the paintings. Hope this finds you well. Michele
ReplyDeleteThat headboard really looks wonderful, Marty! So nice to see how you pulled everything together!
ReplyDeleteLove this room! Your home is always so lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.
ReplyDeletePretty, Marty! Love the new look! The print of the girl with the kitty is so cute!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteYour bedroom is beautiful....love the addition of the pale blue color!!!
ReplyDelete~Des
I think it looks stunning now! I believe we have very similar buffets...mine is in the DR. I was glad to hear that you are relocating the family pics...I love those.
ReplyDeleteMarty, the room is beautiful. I love all the small details you put into this room. it is gorgeous, cozy and warm. I want to come stay! Great job. Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteGood Morning...
ReplyDeleteThe aqua color is just perfect! You did well in this room and what makes it even better, is the (hardly no cost)at all!
Thanks for sharing..
FREE is always fun.......I think it looks great. All the little touches of acqua in the pillows, candles and even the art all make it feel so put together and inviting.
ReplyDeleteBRAVO!

It is gorgeous! The headboard looks stunning! I love the throw and pillow on the settee! I think your lamps need to come visit my house! This is an amazing transformation!
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly looks wonderful to me!!! What happened to the other small stand you bought with the top that had to be refinished, did you change your mind about buying it??? Love the aqua....hugs...cleo
ReplyDeleteNo, I love the new night stand, it is just being refinished, then it will come to live here. Thanks.
DeleteI love to "shop" in my own home, too. It's always so much fun to re-discover things that you can use. The room looks great!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful room you've created Marty... You'll surely have sweet dreams in it and I wish them for you..
ReplyDeleteYour room turned out beautifully, Marty. I love the new art work and would like to see more of that huge painting on the side wall. Your blue accessories really bring out the pops of blue in your paintings, and that buffet does not look like a buffet, but instead fits perfectly in your room. And all for $200; I'm really impressed. Can't wait to see how the night stand turns out. Can you use that sweet buffet on the other side of the room? Just love that buffet!
ReplyDeleteI was at Hobby Lobby yesterday and saw their display of aqua pretties and wanted to take them all home. I decided that the aqua would liven up my neutrals, which tend to get drab at times, so I'm going to go back and pick one up each month and add to my living room. Such a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful...the turquoise makes it pop, and I love it with brown. Glad to see you have not painted the nightstand. So where did all your ancestors go that was above your headboard? Do they have a new home?
ReplyDeleteAll the ancestors are going into the guest bedroom. Still need to do a little fluffing in there.
DeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteYour room is fabulous. I don't think I'd look for a dresser. Your buffet is a perfect fit, and really pretty. Using aqua as your accent color is great. Everything looks picture perfect to me! Great job as always.
Love the changes you made to the room, and the soft aqua is perfect!
ReplyDeleteMarty, that new headboard made a huge difference. The whole room looks wonderful and I love the buffet next to the bed.
ReplyDeleteI love the aqua touches and especially the garden stool. The eye really goes to the lovely headboard. It is inspiring and makes me wish I could get our master bedroom going but we are just awful.
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I don't think you need to change a thing. The aqua really did it too!
ReplyDeleteHeadboard is great, and that painting with the little girl is just perfect!
Thank you for sharing.

I'm loving it all! The headboard is fantastic and I love the paintings so much more than the before. Perfect updates and such bargains. You must be so happy!
ReplyDeleteXO Cindy
Marty, your new bedroom is more than good, it is gorgeous! I love all the changes, the new and old pieces, it all came together just beautifully! Very,very pretty and elegant!
ReplyDeleteNice job, Marty. The room looks so elegant!
ReplyDelete-Shelley
Marty your room looks so elegant, I love that headboard! Great job as always!!
ReplyDeleteMarty,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation! I adore how the sashes in the girls dresses in your prints compliment your color palette! This looks so tranquil...what a Master Bedroom should have...comfort factor!
Fondly,
Pat
Marty I really love how your master bedroom turned out. It looks so elegant. Almost like it grew up :-)

HI MARTY!!!
ReplyDeleteI too have added that soft aqua color to several rooms in my house. I LOVE IT!!!
I think your room looks great as usual!!!
Now enjoy that new look!!
hugs,
jamie
Hey Marty - wow what a change and for so little $$$! It's amazing what we keep in our garages, right? You accessorized beautifully - fills the space so much nicer. An incredible before and after.
ReplyDeleteI might look for an elegant vanity/desk with a small chair(?) You always need something like this. It wouldn't give you storage - but it's longer and perhaps more functional.
I was looking at your walls - they are plaster!!! I would give anything for these walls...they are gorgeous. Plaster walls - when painted and glazed - come out so beautiful, much nice than regular sheetrock! Lucky you. I used to live in an old house with plaster walls many years ago - still miss them!!
Thanks so much for commenting on my blog (as always!)

Your bedroom redo looks wonderful Marty! I love the bits of the blue color throughout.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty Marty, you've done a great job.

Hi Marty....haven't been by here in ages......I love it when a fellow blogger uses what's on hand to redo a room. Your's turned out lovely...I might add.
ReplyDeleteJo
Wow! It's so pretty! This is a great makeover. I love your new headboard and the pops of blue color really add just the right thing to the room. Your room looks richer now.
ReplyDeleteyour room looks awesome! i love all the artwork and love that big headboard!
ReplyDeleteThis really looks fantastic, Marty. I love the addition of the blue, it adds so much to the whole space. Of course, you are always so skilled at vignettes and all your tabletops are perfect.
ReplyDeleteI've told you before but I just love that headboard. It looks great. The touches of aqua are just what the room needed.
ReplyDeleteWow, Marty, the whole room looks beautiful, I LOVE the buffet used as a night stand! I think I would paint it and use it!!!! I love the look of 2 different stands. LOVE that garden stool that you painted, I am going to try to find that post from last year. Love the pops of aqua, a beautiful, calming color. Sweet dreams:):) XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteOh Marty, the room was lovely before, but now it's exquisite! You really have an artistic streak.
ReplyDeleteThe garage is such a great place to store the items we push aside for newer things..how can I get my hubby to park his car elsewhere so I can use his space for all the things I want to keep but have no use right now? It's like Christmas shopping all year round! I need my own garage..Lovely setting and yes, the buffet looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMarty, your bedroom is beautiful. I love that you have a loveseat in your room....Your changes are perfect and Iove the larger bedside chest too!...You did a fantastic job of re-styling your room!
ReplyDeleteHUGE difference. I just love it, Marty- You did a wonderful job and it is veery impressive looking! Love it! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI love all the changes that you've made, Marty. Seeing the before and after really shows the huge difference!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job as usual Marty....love the buffet, and that whole wall vignette you created!
ReplyDeleteDonnamae
Marty, I love your updated room. The headboard really is a show stopper!! I love how the one painting has some aqua in it to tie into the room. It's so serene and peaceful. I love the buffet beside the bed. Yea for hubby's suggestion. What if you painted it? You may love it then and not have to find a new one.
ReplyDeleteMarty, What a great job. That headboard is the star. I love the new colors you brought in. Your master looks fabulous and you didn't break the bank.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks just beautiful Marty! The headboard is just perfect and we are so glad you shared this with us at Inspiration Friday!
ReplyDeleteVanessa
Lovely job! wish you could come work on mind.Thanks for sharing !
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job you've done here, Marty! I'm loving all the aqua touches with the pillows on the bed and candles. I like the buffet/nightstand and the beautiful vignette you've created on it with the new lamp and picture frames... nice and spacious and the vignette on it adds to the warmth and serenity in the room Beautiful space!Have a great weekend!Hugs,Poppy
ReplyDeleteYour "new" bedroom is looking sooo good. The dresser works really well..it gives lots of room for storage as well as pretty things on the top. I really like the fern in the corner instead of the chair. I know what you mean about things working out "for now". I found two different lamps and a set of shams to change my bedroom. I just need a couple of other things to give a different look...for the moment. But you know how it is...when you change one thing, then something else needs to be changed. But that's the fun of it sometimes. Oh, I like the aqua color pops, too.
ReplyDeleteHi darling, I love all your changes. The buffet is perfect in there, love that you thought outside the box. The garden stool off your front porch is perfect in your beautiful room.. hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteLove that headboard and you've done a beautiful job arranging and accessorizing the rest of the room. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, Marty! I'd say you've done an amazing job for that amount of money. Isn't it fun to have a change? :)
ReplyDeleteYour room is very lovely. I love the headboard and the blue is just right.
ReplyDeleteCarol-Ann
