My Master Bedroom Progress


A couple of months ago I posted the design plan for my master bedroom. I wish I could say the space was now complete but we still have a fews details to figure out. I am so excited to see this room coming together and thought you might like to see a little progress.

First we started out with this:
There are a few options for how to orient the bed in this room, but the room felt the most open with the bed against the far wall.
The only problem was we were dealing with that pesky window.

I contemplated a few options to deal with the window, but I finally settled on this amazing
vintage Japanese folding screen with cranes painted on it that I found at Elemente.
This added instant definition to the space and helped create a focal point in the room.
This screen has the most beautiful shimmer thanks to some mica paint.

After what has seemed like ages, my custom headboard (done by Rocky Mountain Upholstery, 801-651-9368)
got delivered this week and I have to say, I can't stop smiling every time I look at it!
My husband keeps asking me why we needed the folding screen and a headboard,
but I love the definition it adds and I really felt like we needed something substantial to ground the room.

What do you think?

Now I'm just waiting on the fabric for my throw pillows, figure out wall decor, and work on a few other little details.
These projects never end!

I'll be sure to post pictures when it all comes together but right now I'm just loving
kicking back against those beautiful diamond tufts!
And of course my new headboard has the added perk of getting me excited to make my bed in the morning!
And to prove it, here is a crappy i-phone pic of my pretty bed.

  1. Your bedroom is coming along great! I LOVE the folding screen and headboard combo. I haven't seen that before. I live in an apartment and that seems like the perfect way to add depth to the wall without having to paint them (since we can't).

  2. That is looking amazing. I love the screen idea and the bed is just gorgeous. I really like the rug as well. Have been looking for one like that. So beautiful.

  6. I planned to use the ikat pillow fabric on your mood board as drapery panels for my Master, but I love the floral fabric on the top. Would you mind telling me the name and maker of it? I would love to track it down to see if it might work. Thank you!

  24. The Japanese folding screen is brilliant. One word: COVET. Do you know of any other sources that sell that or something very similar that are either not local to or can ship outside of Salt Lake? Great job, Caitlin. Your room is stunning.

  37. i have a window in basically the same place in my master, which i'm currently making over as well. so you just covered it up? do you miss the natural light? my hubs would freak if i covered up a window...

    ReplyDelete
  38. Looks so beautiful! I have the same question about natural light—do you ever miss it? Your room still seems so airy because of the fabrics you've chosen, so maybe not!
