A Peek At My Bedroom Progress

I’m so excited about how my tiny bedroom is coming together. The textures and colors are so relaxing, even in its unfinished state.

Remember my two main inspirations? First there was this daybed from Pottery Barn. I wanted this same storage function in a queen size.

And then there’s the closets on either side of the bed in John & Sherry’s bedroom, of Young House Love.

So I’ve added those two elements, plus my own color, texture, and design details, and this is what I have so far…

Storage cubbies on Matt’s side of the bed.  Of course, it still needs to be caulked, primed, and painted. 

My side of the bed…wall color, chair rail, and grasscloth next to my new closet.

I can’t even begin to tell you how these colors and textures make me feel.  So relaxing!!

Matt’s side, with his new closet.  Again, far from finished, but it’s a start!  And the gap at the top (plus the notch I cut out of the grasscloth so I could have a swatch to carry around with me while shopping) will eventually be covered with crown molding.

The (almost) whole shabang.  And of course, my Jack In The Box cup, which always makes an appearance in my photos.  I simply can’t work with out a large tea within reach!!

I’m a little overwhelmed at the amount of caulking, priming, and painting I have to do. All of the trim (baseboards, chair rail, crown molding), the closets, and the new storage base of the bed will be painted the same color–a creamy white. That’s a LOT of painting!! So I guess I better get busy, huh?

Have a great weekend!

  1. Your motivation amazes me! I can't believe all that you've accomplished in your home already. I really like the color scheme of your bedroom and, if the sneak peek is indication it looks like it's going to look great! Have a good weekend…

  2. Hi Kristi, your bedroom is looking great, you're right the colors are very relaxing. I can't wait to see the finished product with all your stuff in the room! Love your blog 🙂

  3. You are doing an AMAZING job. You make me wanna try it but of course all I own in the way of tools is a hammer and some screwdrivers.

  4. I love everything! You are ery talented…yes TALENTED!!! I'm sorry but that stuff does build, paint,coordinate and shop for itself with just gumption. You're room is going to be the most amazing before and after yet…and you get to live there!

  5. Looks like you're doing great and making some real progress! I really like your use of contrasting yet complementary colors, for example your turquoise lower wall and wood roman style shades go together beautifully.

  6. Oh Goodness, I used to have your energy! Maybe I'll get inspired again if I hang with you! It's already looked great, and I know if you keep your vision, you'll get all that detail work done!

  7. Kristi,
    You and I have the same love for those relaxing colors. Oh, I love it SO much. That grasscloth wallpaper rocks!

  9. I just found your blog today and I am beside myself in love with you!!! I mean, your style! LOL

    I can't wait to see the final result! Because I'm still drooling over your dining room and PLASTIC green chandelier (which I never would have thought I'd use all those words together in a sentence which included LOVE)! 😉

  10. I just found your blog as well and I am loving this bedroom. I'll definitely be staying tuned for the rest of this bedroom project!

  12. Adorable….My dad made a bed with under storage for our guest room and we ended up switching it to my son's room. The storage is AWESOME!

    1. Hi Lorin~
      I bought that wallpaper so long ago, and I have no idea what the name is or who the manufacturer is. I do know that I got it at Sherwin Williams, and I found it in one of their books that was exclusively grasscloth wallpaper. That might help you narrow it down!

  17. Where did you get the grasscloth wallpaper and what paint color is that? I’ve been trying to find some grasscloth/textured wallpaper for my bedroom and I love your color scheme!
