Master Bedroom - My 'Design' Ideas

While I'm waiting on my Chalk Paint order to arrive to finish a project I started waaay back in the early Spring, I thought I'd show you some of the things that are in the works for the Master bedroom. I'm going for a clean, light, and simple look. Also with a touch of french. I chose Valspar Gravity paint for the walls with white trim. I've seen a lot of gray/white bedrooms and they're so calming. Like this one:

This gray is darker than I picked but I love the gray and white contrast. Here is one more the color I chose:

I'm not loving the green ceiling in this picture - I plan to use the same gray as the walls on the ceiling. I would also love to  add white crown moulding. It makes a room look so classy. Unfortunately, I don't  think it's in the budget for now.

I haven't found bedding that I like that  is in my price range yet but I want a white quilt. They look so clean and simple. I'm also still looking for curtains or fabric to make my own. I absolutely LOVE this Belgian grain sack linen from Rachel Ashwell. It's currently not available but if it does become available again, I might have to get a small amount for a pillow or something. It's too expensive to use for curtains but I think it would look awesome as that too.

 I've already shared this light I plan to hang over the bed:

Since space is so limited (we have a small bedroom), I would like to do wall mounted bedside lights. I've not found a lot of them available in my price range. I would be ok with this one from Lowe's if I don't find something better. I'm still undecided on this.

I don't have nightstands so I'm going to make something like this.

I like that I can make it the size I need.

The door leading to the master bath swing out into the room and totally blocks the one corner making anything sitting there inaccessible. I love all the barn doors out there and I'm inspired to make one to solve this problem. I plan to use wood out of our barn and build my own. Here are some ones that I really like.

As you can see from the pictures, I haven't decided what finish to use. I like the looks of all 3 of the doors pictured. Which one would you choose?

These are certainly not all my ideas for the room but it gives you an idea of the direction I'm heading. I can't wait to get started - the room is so ugly now. I've ordered a camera but I'm still patiently waiting for it to arrive. If I had it, I'd throw a 'before' picture of the room on here for you to see how awful it looks. Seriously. It's a 'what was I thinking' room!

Weekend Find - Murray Feiss Light for the Master Bedroom

Last week I bought paint for the (stained) trim in the Master bedroom. I've bumped that room up on my priority list and have been gathering ideas. One thing I wanted to change was the lighting. Currently, the only lighting in there is a wall mounted sconce light. And it doesn't even work! My idea was for a chandelier of some type wired into that same 'socket' and hung over the bed. I had looked at lights online and in-store. And pretty much decided we couldn't afford anything I liked.

This past weekend I found a BRAND NEW Murray Feiss light at a garage sale. The lady had $30 marked on it. I never offer another price on something before asking if the seller is firm on their price. If they're firm, I haven't 'insulted' them by offering less than they're willing to take. So, I asked the lady if she was firm on her price. Her reply was, "what do you want to offer me"?
"Uh, $25"?
She immediately said yes and I was one. happy. lady.

The light still had the tag on it with the model number so I came home and looked it up online. The website I found it on listed it for..... $339! That's basically the only thing I found this weekend in all my garage saling but it sure was a spectacular find for me!

What have YOU found lately that made your day (or week!)?
