The platform bed Ryan built at the old house had to be disassembled and reassembled on the day of the move. And I didn’t want to live out of boxes, I so immediately put away clothing and jewelry. I’m so happy I did, because this makes the home feel more like home.
The bed was originally supposed to go between the window and the eave wall. Unfortunately, the headboard wouldn’t fit on the wall. So, we flipped it to the opposite wall. I like it.
And I have an idea for above the bed. It’s different than the old master bedroom. And I’m excited.
We also decided to move the dresser I bought a few months ago up to the bedroom for extra storage. I love it. And I am fairly certain I’m not going to paint it. I like it now. Still nothing fancy for a finish, but I like it with the rod iron mirror my parents gave us.
And as a functional bonus, I’ve been storing my most-used jewelry on the mirror. I love it. So much sparkle.
And after taking these pictures, I realized that I could display our pretty monogrammed cake table runner from the wedding. Isn’t it just fabulous here?
And while the closet isn’t anything really fancy, it’s really huge. It fits everything well and it’s so darn bright. So, Ryan no longer has to get ready in the pitch black. (He has to be to work several hours before so he would just get ready in the dark room.)
So this is probably the biggest upgrade for us.
And as a funny aside, I woke up the first night in the house to rustling and rumbling in the closet. It was Ryan. I whispered, “What are you doing?” And he grunted, “Looking for the bathroom!” The closet door is located right where the hallway/bathroom door was in our old house. Thank goodness he didn’t get confused and think he WAS in the bathroom. He said he just kept feeling around the walls in the dark.
Still laughing about that one.
Back to the bedroom.
I love the big comfortable chair (hand-me-down from in-laws) in the bedroom. Although it makes doing anything outside of cuddling with the pugs seems downright obnoxious.
So that’s the bedroom in a nutshell. It’s come a long way, baby.
Details

Color me COMPLETELY and TOTALLY impressed that you already have your master bedroom looking like that! What a wonderful way to set up a calm space amidst the craziness of unpacking! It looks fantastic! Now, I’m going to go back to drooling over your closet. Mmmk?

Kim,
I have been so behind on my reading I missed your move…congratulations!! You must be over-joyed and extremely tired! The bedroom looks awesome! Love the colors of the room. I might have to use your jewelry idea for Maddie! She is in need of some jewelry organization! Can’t wait to see more.

Leigh says
Oh, poor Ryan. hehehe I can’t believe YOU aren’t painting the dresser. It does look good though. And I love the double use of the mirror. I’m so impressed, you’ve done more in a week than I’ve done in a year.

Your house looks fantastic! Moving is exhausting but look at all the memories you are building. One more thing about the living room furniture….we are all about comfy and had our family room set up similar to your living room. I ended up putting the two chairs that face the sofa straight instead of angled in. Have you tried that? I felt very hip and chic but my husband keeps putting them back on an angle. I’m going to win this one!
Katie Newcomb says
Your bedroom looks great! Hope its starting to feel like home and your husband can find the bathroom now 🙂
I LOVE that wood on the dresser. Totally understand why you wouldn’t paint it. Have a great weekend!

The master bedroom is awesome. I can’t believe all the hard work you both did to renovate this place. Great job.

Your room is so pretty! Love the chair in the corner. Everything is so clean and fresh looking! Makes me feel like I need to run upstairs pronto and declutter. 😉

I always love your homes..They are beautiful yet cozy and home feeling! Some homes out in blog land are beautiful but just do not seem functional!
Jen@Notes From the Heartland says
Wow. Wow. Wow. I love the color on the walls…so sophisticated. Looks so cozy and inviting!! Maybe I should invite myself over for a nap…right now. You’re at work, right? 😉
Rita/Fighting Off Frumpy says
I love it, Kim! Everything looks great! And your bed … it’s huge! Ours is supposedly a Queen, but I swear, sometimes it feels more like a twin (although I guess a few kids and some animals trying to squish in will do that).
Poor Ryan. Hope he gets the location of the bathroom all figured out. 😉
Liz @ It's Great To Be Home says
You are so good at moving in and making a place feel like home right away – it looks amazing! And I totally agree, that chair is made for snuggling. 🙂
Kim @ NewlyWoodwards says
Thanks, all!
Soccerbelle – the egg crate holders are from Anthropologie online. They weren’t too expensive and they are perfect for earrings and pins and other small jewelry. I got the idea from Young House Love.
Meredith says
Your bedroom looks great, Kim! You guys have done so much already – I’m so impressed!
Shannon says
Lookin good! I love the chair up there, it totally looks all comfy cozy. I also support the decision not to paint the dresser, it really works up there. Oh and we have the same comforter AND alarm clock. Obvs meant to be bff’s. (As if we needed more reasons).
Lynne D. says
beautiful!!!!!! come decorate my house kthanks 🙂

Soccerbelle says
It looks like you have a ceramic “egg container” like thing on your dresser and I’m wondering if that’s where you keep your earrings? Where did you get it, because I think that would be a perfect gift for my daughter.
Anne says
