Ok… this whole bed thing was getting old for a while. It just really was. It all started when we moved into this house Jose and I had a queen sized bed because our last master bedroom was so tiny a king wouldn’t fit. But when we moved to this house with a bigger room we immediately got a king size bed so we could sleep with all of our dogs of course. We found this lovely Magnolia bed that we both fell in love with & we got it all set up in our room. The first thing I said was “wow this bed is high!” But I didn’t think more about it until that night when our little Bella jumped off the bed and got badly hurt. I thought she just had to adjust, but quickly realized… the bed was too high for the pups & though I loved it, I love my dogs more. So there we were without a bed again & we sold that one. Then we made a headboard out of old doors for the time being & that worked great for a while, but I knew we would have a “real bed” again when we started working on our room again. Well, we started working on our room & I found the perfect little bed for us & I wanted to share it with you guys today…
I found this bed at Wayfair [HERE] & it’s one I’ve been eyeing for a while since I wrote [this post] a few months ago about the best metal farmhouse beds. The vibe I wanted in this room is a cozy cottage bedroom. Like you rent a cottage for a week and this is the cozy retreat you walk into upon your arrival. I wanted our bedroom to be simple, eclectic, & have a vintage vibe that I love. & this bed fit that criteria perfect. It’s subtle in the best way possible & fits that vintage cottage vibe we wanted. Jose said right away that he was very impressed by the quality as he was putting it together which was quite the compliment I thought. I was impressed with the color of the bed. I feared it would be “stark white” & that the antiquing would look too fake since the color was called “antique white”, but it’s the perfect creamy white with slight distressing that isn’t “too much”. You can find the bed here [HERE] from Wayfair & it also comes in rust black as well. The bedding is from Macy’s and is on major sale right now [HERE] I loved it so much because it looks like a vintage chenille quilt & I loved it even more when it came in the mail. I will say if you are looking for a very thick quilt… this isn’t the one for you. It’s thinner, but that’s exactly what I wanted for layering.
The room is FAR from done, but as you can see I did manage to hang up the vintage floral print above the bed that inspired the entire room. There will be wall sconces on both side of the painting & lots more changes to the room, but the bed was a big move in progress. Ya’ll I’m so excited about this master bedroom makeover & I’m feeling all kinds of inspired now! I’ll be back later with a full mood board for this space so you can see the direction we are going in & I will also be back with another update asap. Oh, & you can see we painted the floors in here! It’s so fresh & so clean now that we do not have the old carpet in here… It’s shocking what a difference it makes! I have been sharing a lot of sneak peeks and behind the scenes of this space in my IG stories if you want to follow along there as well. Thank you guys SO MUCH for stopping by the blog today & every day to see what we are up to, it means the world to me! xx
The new bed is gorgeous!
Hi Liz
I restyled my master a couple of years ago with the exact same vibe. White iron bed and copper chandeliers both on sale from RH. I feel so vindicated seeing this post and your choices as I wasn’t completely sure at the time (and neither was my hubby lol). I am interested to see what you choose for bedside tables as I’ve not been able to find just the right ones. Also, I adore your baskets, where did you find them? I love how you always post links for shopping but couldn’t find one for these, thinking I may have missed it somewhere 😉
Love your style x
This seriously is just what my Aunts bedrooms were like back when I was young, ( which is quite awhile ago )! White iron beds, chenille bedspreads, old floral artwork, it’s like I’ve stepped back in time. This is so perfect, I can’t wait to see what else you do with this room, I love it! ?
Just curious about your lighting. On IG you said the fixture by the door would be the same as over the bed. Will the door hit it when you open and shut the door? Looks like it hangs down a long way. Unless you are getting two new ones. And BTW, I absolutely LOVE the colors you are doing in the bedroom. Those doors are magnificent and the floors too! The crisp white walls and trim are perfect. Great job.
Love. Love. Love!
I love it, Liz. I know exactly what you mean about a cottage bedroom. The chenille bedspread is perfect! So far it reminds me of my grandparent’s lake cottage in Wisconsin.
I can’t wait to see more of the upstairs makeover.
OH My Goodness! I just love this! In fact I just ordered the quilt from Macy’s and OH MY! What a savings! I am a little concerned about my babies (we have 3 Yorkies) and a white quilt so what is your secret on keeping it looking new?
Thanks Liz!
I am replacing that chandie- and going for a tighter/cleaner look… both shipped yesterday so I’ll be sharing it very soon, I am so excited!
Yay! That is my goal. I want to wake up and wonder if I am at home, or at an old cottage summer where. I am glad to hear I am on the right track. Thank you for reading and all the kind words.
That new bed reminds me of your garden “shed” with it’s rounded details….. So pretty!
It’s beautiful, Liz Marie! I’m looking forward to seeing more.
Just love the new look! I was curious as to whether the pillow shams are included with the bedding. I didn’t see in the description that they were or not.
Thank you!!!
This room looks gorgeous just how it is! That picture is perfect there. I know anything more you do will be beautiful, but just saying, simply gorgeous!
The bed is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the final reveal.
I just bought the Cavaillon panel bed from Wayfair and it looks similar to this one. I have yet to receive it and I’m so anxious (it’s been 3 weeks!) . Love your new bed and the bedroom redo. As always, it looks perfect.You always inspire me!
Hi,Liz very nice look of your master bed room with bed and baskets..
That design very perfect matching with surrounding. love your style….
Thanks for the post
very gorgeous, you do everything so well! thanks for sharing!!!
Hi! What is the paint color of your master bedroom doors? I can’t find it anywhere? Thanks doll
What color did you paint the walls? I adore the color you chose for the doors!
I wish I would have ordered two sets! This LED Light Strip made my vape station look amazing. Just checkout my pictures? I am going to order another set for my top shelf. I could go on and on about how cool these lights are…but a picture is worth 1000 words. So I guess the pictures will show you 4000 words! :O)
Best regards.
I actually got this for my sofa bed, but I find myself pulling it down from the closet to cocoon myself in. It’s soft, fluffy, and definitely keeps that autumn chill off you. Good, sturdy material. Washes well, in fact give it a wash and dry when you first get it and it’ll really fluff up nicely!
Best,
Frances Tere
