Finishing Touches in the Master Bedroom

When we were wrapping up our bedroom makeover a few months ago, there was one store that I turned to when it was time to put the finishing touches on the space!  If you follow me on social media, then you know one of my "go to" stores for accessories is HomeGoods!

Here are some items from HomeGoods that added the finishing touches to the room!

1.  Throw Pillows:  I love these felt throw pillows I found at HomeGoods.  They are simple yet interesting and the texture adds a lot to the space! The colors were perfect and the fringe and poms added a whimsical touch without being over the top!

 
2. Unexpected Elements: The textured wreath you see above the bed is also a HomeGoods purchase.  I love the unexpected element it adds to the space and it brings a lot of dimension to the room.  When working with such a limited color scheme, it is good to use interesting décor to keep the space from being bland.  I simply added it over an old, salvaged screen for a unique focal point above the bed!
 
 
3.  Tassel Throw Blanket:  I love using throw blankets pretty much all over the house!  They add such a warm and inviting element to the space!  I love the large tassels on this throw I found at HomeGoods and it was perfect in our bedroom!
 
 
4. Table Accessories: I kept things very simple and used a few vintage items to add character to the space.  A vintage, metal parts bin was used to add height to the nightstand.  A simple glass jar, metallic antlers and a few candles softened the space and created a serene feel in the space.  We turned salvaged staircase balusters, from an old house, into one of a kind lamps.  I love mixing vintage pieces with new pieces to keep things interesting!
 
 
6. Candles: Creating a relaxing ambiance was as simple as adding a few candles to each side of the bed.  Shown above, I just added small votive candles as well as a jar of tapers for visual interest.  On the other side, a large terrarium holds 5 large candles that create the perfect glow when lit! 
 
 
 
 
5.  Faux Plants: Since our dresser is so ornate, I knew I wanted to keep things simple!  These faux potted plants were the perfect way to add a natural element to the room without taking away from the beautiful details of the dresser. 
 
 
6. Simple touches in our reading nook:  A fur throw rug, pom pillow and cozy throw blanket make our reading nook a great place to snuggle up with a good book! 
 
 
 
Thank you, HomeGoods, for always being a great source for affordable home décor!

Master Bedroom Retreat {Sponsored by Arhaus}

I was absolutely elated when I was shopping at North Park mall in Dallas awhile back and saw a "coming soon" sign for Arhaus.  I have admired their furnishings via their website for years!  They have a wonderful variety of furniture and accessories ranging from French country style to industrial- loft style and everything in between.  Since my style is somewhat eclectic and all over the place, I fell in love with several pieces!

If you have an Arhaus in your area then you must stop in! Whether you are shopping for that perfect piece of furniture or just want to be inspired by their unique displays, it is worth a trip.  Here is a little peek inside the Dallas store...grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!









Gorgeous, right?  Their showroom is frequently changing, so I always stop in for inspiration when I am close by! 

If you follow me on social media, then you know I just completed a master bedroom makeover and I couldn't be more in love with our new space!  Our old furniture was beautiful but we had owned it for quite awhile and we were ready for a new look.  I had my heart set on an upholstered headboard paired with rich linens and lots of texture to create a relaxing retreat.  I must have looked at hundreds of headboards, but when I saw the Mariah tufted bed from Arhaus, I knew I had found the perfect one!

The color was perfect for my space but it is offered in a variety of color/fabric options!  The detailed tufting, heavily textured fabric, nail head trim and large wrap around edges were exactly what I wanted!  This bed is absolutely gorgeous in person. The quality is second to none and this is something we will own for a very long time! 

Once the bed was selected, I started looking for nightstands that would compliment the bed but also flow well with the dressers we already owned.  They are black, distressed wood with a lot of architectural detail.  I wanted something that brought a hint of black to the wall the bed went against, but nothing too dark and heavy.  I like to mix things up and think outside the box, so I opted for two console tables instead of the traditional nightstands.  When I came across the Buchon console table, I knew it would be a great option.  The iron legs and bluestone surface give this table an industrial, vintage vibe that I love!



The results...I am smitten with the new look.  Everything came together just as I imagined.  It is always nice when the end result is exactly what you wanted from the start!


The details...I styled the end table with a few flea market and antique mall finds.  I love using pieces that are one of a kind and the mixture of old and new creates an interesting space.  Above, you will see two old staircase balusters my handy husband made into unique lamps.

This old metal parts bin was an item I picked up at a local antique mall without having a plan for it. When I got home and looked around, I knew it would be perfect here!  The distressed metal on this piece and the metal legs on my table play well off each other!  Simple accessories softened up the space to create a pretty, yet interesting vignette.


 
 
On the second nightstand, I used a glass terrarium and filled it with classic, white candles.  The glow from the candles creates the perfect ambiance for relaxing!


Above the bed, I wanted something interesting yet simple.  An old, salvaged screen did the job.  I topped it off with a whimsical wreath to add a little texture and love the way it turned out!


To keep with the calming and cozy theme, I opted for very simple linens.  I did not want to take away from the gorgeous texture of the bed itself, so I went with a simple white fitted sheet, a striped flat sheet and a white Belgian linen duvet cover.  I also selected felt throw pillows adorned with tassels and pom-poms to bring in some rich texture to the room.


I am absolutely in love with my new space and am thrilled with how it all came together!  Thank you so much to Arhaus for partnering with me on this post and allowing me to share your gorgeous pieces with my readers!
 


And just for fun, here are some other pieces I have my eye on from Arhaus...
