One of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to transform a space…paint.

You may be tired of hearing me say this, but seriously the quickest, in my opinion easiest, and cheapest way to transform any space is to paint it. Paint can be tricky because lighting in the space is everything. Which is why our master bedroom came back on our project list.

The baby blue wasn’t cutting it anymore

In an attempt to rescue our master bedroom from the PSL color that only a Starbucks Barista could tolerate, I painted. However, the color was reminiscent of a baby shower and not so much a master bedroom.

Never forget where you came from.

Enter the $100 Room Challenge from Erin of Lemons, Lavender, and Laundry. I wanted a refresh of the master bedroom, but didn’t want to spend a ton of time or anymore money.

Budget DIY, $100 Room Challenge
Join myself and other talented bloggers as we take on the $100 Room Challenge.

First thing I did was paint the accent wall.

I had fallen in love with Riverway from Sherwin Williams when I did the makeover in my master closet. Since I had a ton of paint left from that project, it was a no brainer that it would be the accent color behind the bed.

Paint tip: Have a color you love, but like a different brand more? Most paint stores can mix it for you. All the paint for this room was mixed at Lowe’s even though the accent color is from Sherwin Williams and the other three walls Benjamin Moore.

I love how the headboard is a statement in the room now.

Of course last week I shared the star of the show, the faux headboard inspired by the hand carved wood headboard I found on Etsy.

I call it more of a functional piece of art than an actual headboard, but the wow factor for this piece made the room everything I hoped it to be.

A comfy little reading nook.

The other three walls were painted White Dove by Benjamin Moore, but again mixed at Lowe’s to keep cost down. I already had one can left from a previous project, but needed a second can. This allowed me to also paint all the trim and the base color for the headboard.

Layering textures adds interest even though the all and the furniture color is the same.

While the walls now matched the dresser and nightstands, painted a few years ago, the texture of the dresser helps it to not all blend in.

Subtle changes can make a big impact.

All the bedding was left the same, with the exception of the adorable pillow I found at Target .  The pillow gave a boho touch to the bed and tied nicely into the headboard. The curtains are drop cloth curtains that I also already had and was using in the room.

The white lumbar pillow is an outdoor pillow from Target.

Let’s talk bottom line, how much did this all cost?

Headboard total: $43.67

Paint: $38.13

Pillow and little birds: $26.99

Total: $108.79

So yes, I did go over the $100 budget by $8.79, but the pillow was totally worth it to me. I am so happy with the way the master bedroom turned out and can FINALLY mark it off my list of projects.

Let’s take another look. Boy does it look great with the barn door we made. The trunk is actually a find from World Market when I was in college over 20 years ago. (And now I feel really old.)

  • When we bought the house.
  • My failed attempt to make it better.

Instead of feeling like my eyes are being assaulted or a constant reminder I picked the wrong color, now I feel a sense of peace.

XOXO,
Brooke

    I know some people think that orange is coming back on the scene, but I just can’t stray away from this beautiful blue! Incredible job, I know you’re already loving your new space. GREAT JOB <3

    • Brooke says

      I love orange too, in small doses and not on my bedroom walls 😉 I definitely love the color too, it’s just enough of a pop.

    WOW, Brooke, this is amazing! Your room looks so beautiful, and that headboard is a showstopper. Such an awesome DIY project with a huge bank for your buck! I also totally would have splurged on that Target pillow – definitely the perfect accent piece on the bed. Enjoy your “new” master retreat! 🙂

    Brooke, this is one of my favorite room makeovers. I was so invested in this headboard when you were doing it on IG stories and it turned out even better than I thought it would. Great room and great wall color.

    • Brooke says

      January 31, 2019 at 11:44 am

      OMG Sherry you are the BEST!!! Seriously, that is the sweetest comment of all!! I’ll tell you, for a minute I was on the fence on how this was going to turn out and then I just went with my gut. So glad that I did!

    Fantastic job! I am loving the headboard you made, it is such a perfect way to copy the one your couldn’t afford! Where did you get that bed skirt that drapes on the floor like that, because I want it in my life.

    • Brooke says

      January 31, 2019 at 11:43 am

      I think I got it from either Homegoods or Target I’m sorry I can’t remember which.

The number one question I get is “how can you leave, you did so much?!” On the blog I’m taking a walk down memory lane and y’all we did do a lot.

Anything to get ideas and inspiration on what we wanted in our own home. Believe it or not, we’ve moved 10 times. Of those 4 were homes we bought and one of them a home we built. Needless to say when we saw the online photos of our “hopeful” future home plan, we agreed we had at least one more move in us.  What’s something you’re looking for in your next home?

One of my favorite things to do is take long walks through construction sites surrounded by plumbing and framing.  No lie. This is where we’ve gone multiple evenings over the last couple of weeks. This place has brought us a lot of peace and on the blog I’m spilling the beans on our secret.

The tragic helicopter accident that took Kobe, his daughter, and their friends rocked me in a way I didn’t know it would.  It was clear that y’all loved the bedroom renovations this year and our @wearewoodgrain accent wall was a huge crowd favorite. Kennedy’s diamond pattern wall is one of my most pinned on Pinterest to this day. I’m deep in planning mode for this year and can’t wait to bring more fun content. Hope that everyone had a great night and an even better weekend!!

While this year was filled with so much uncertainty, I was still able to find some light and a more clear vision. (I’ve always said the best lessons come in the valleys of life.) I’ve spent the last few weeks with Court and the girls and I’ve come to some realizations that will change the vision I thought I had for the future. I thank you for being on this journey.  I’m blown away by the people I’ve met online and in person from this community.  The opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.  I pray that everyone has a safe night and we all wake up tomorrow with hope that the new year will bring more peace.
