Master Bedroom Update in Blue and White

Hello friends.  I’ve been wanting to show you our master bedroom for weeks now.  I shared an inspiration board months ago and I love how the room is coming together. 

Let’s take a looksy at the inspiration board for fun.

I pretty much included all of the elements from the board into this room.   There are still a few things I would like to tweak but it sure is a cozy space to hang out in.  I also love the resort vibe it has going on.

We didn’t bring any of our bedroom furniture so these are pieces I have found on bookoo.com, thrift stores, online, or government issued.  The rug, chair, and white side table are the items I brought from the states. Oh and Daphne, of course.  

She does such a lovely job wearing my necklaces. 

My first aloe plant is doing splendidly.  Let’s hope it stays that way! The white table it sits one was a thrift store find a few years ago.  I removed the damaged side leaves and spray painted it white.  The crystal and brass pull is from the hardware store in Okinawa and was under $1! 

The two botanical prints and wall reading lights are attached with command strips.  It’s amazing what you can do with velcro and sticky hooks. 🙂 

I’m sure you can tell which side is my husband’s and which is mine.  Definitely masculine VS feminine brought together with a couple of the same elements. The left side of the bed has much more wall space so the bigger desk was appropriately placed.  It was another awesome find at just $30. 

On the other side is a floor length mirror and the closet (with a washi tape makeover). 

Since the room is so long, I layered a couple of our rugs.  The faux fur feels wonderful on bare feet and was under $25.  (and here I was worried about finding inexpensive decor in Okinawa…) Our Chinese bookcase that we found at a local thrift store got moved to the opposite corner to help balance the dark and light furniture. 

Have I told you I brought way to many pictures to hang?  I’m glad I was able to use the bookcase for a little gallery display.  It also has a couple of drawers and I added a couple of bins on top for extra storage. 

The bottom shelf holds all of our “ugly”books that didn’t make the cut on our foyer bookcase. 

The last couple of accessories I added to tie the room with the rest of the house are blue pillow covers and a woven wall hanging.

These pieces make the room a little more casual and comfortable.  I really wanted a boho coastal vibe with the bedding and decor.  The wall that needs tweaking is across from the bed.  I’m thinking a few more art pieces on the wall. Of course the best feature in our master bedroom is the ocean view.  It makes me smile everyday. 

Whew! That was quite a few pictures. Hopefully you made it to the bottom.

Tomorrow I’ll be sharing an awesome round up of patriotic ideas for July 4th. 🙂
