Another Master Bedroom Update: Making it Bright!

Hey all! It's been a crazy summer for us. We finally just got our construction loan closed on (which took a century it seemed), so now we're ready to build! I'm so excited and a little nervous at the same time. On a side note, me and hubs are celebrating 8 years today. Hooray for us! I'm very lucky to have him. We're both quite intense people who have been through (and I'm sure will continue to go through) the challenges of two strong personalities coming together. But the truth is I wouldn't trade our marriage for anything. Marriage is a thing you have to earn in my opinion. It doesn't come naturally in most cases and you both have to work to keep a healthy relationship. Anyway, what I'm saying is that I'd pick my same hard-headed, slightly OCD, very charming, extra witty, most difficult person to argue with, best dad I  know, buzz-haired (not a fan), hunk of a husband again if I had the choice to make over again today. So happy 8 years to my one & only! And after that dose of mushy-mush, lovey-love, we'll move right along to todays post...Perhaps some of you have heard of the ever-inspiring Green Smoothie Girl... we sure have! Which is why you can imagine that when Robyn, the creator of GSG asked me to update some of the rooms in her home, I was totally ecstatic! The lack of light in her master suite was driving her crazy, so she called on me to brighten up her space and make it feel light + airy... cause hey, who doesn't want that?! I set to work finding the perfect color palette. Robyn mentioned she liked yellow, so I used one of my fave Sherwin-Williams shades: Biltmore Buff to do just the trick. I also called on Painter1 to make it happen. They're the best-- really though, they're the best. If you want a painting job done right & efficiently too, I suggest you call them! Anyway, the paint color was a major help in brightening up this space and set the scene for the layers of soft hues I added through a variety of textiles & furniture pieces.The bed is one of my favorite finds. The seagrass inlay adds a touch of coastal charm and fantastic texture. I wanted to use a different set of dressers and night stands to add a little variety. The cream and soft greige tones of the dressers/nightstands freshen up the space and add some subdued sophistication. For the bedding I wanted a little more of the yellow-- so this West Elm striped duvet set the scene for luxurious and fresh bedding. And how cute are the dot sheets?! The pillows I accented with for this space are neutral, but pattern-clad to top of the coastal, boutique hotel feel. I also wanted to add a little shimmer/metallic touch, you'll notice some gold in a couple of the pillows, frames & lamp bases, plus the mother of pearl framed mirror contributes some additional glamour to the room. I love the few little accents of mint & green tones in the space. Just enough to give some color, but complementing the neutral and light/airy vibe.So without further ado, a big shout out to McKenzie & Greg Deakins of Photography by McKenzie & UTphotographers.com!
