Say hello to our lovely new bedroom. She’s such a beaut.
We have officially been using our new master bedroom addition since February. (Check out my last bedroom addition updates here.) I like to make sure this blog is updated in a timely manner, obviously. I took these photos in February but never got around to sharing them here.

I was going to retake the photos because a dog who shall remain nameless likes to rub his face on our new bed footboard and I didn’t notice the dog grime until after I took all the photos.
Forgive me. It’s real life. And it’s been 6 months and I haven’t taken new photos. And there are definitely other spots he’s rubbing his face against now anyway. Like the white walls. So done is better than perfect, am I right?
Even with dog goobers, this is my new favorite room in our entire house. My kids keep trying to bring toys inside and I’m like, bye.
Note: the door locks.
The room and design are relatively simple – but I’m not itching to put anything on the walls or add any other items right now. The contrasting trim is plenty decorative and it still feels finished to me. (Trim color is Sherwin William Evergreen Fog. I really love the SW Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel for trim. It covers well, self-levels, and has such a beautiful, even finish. I’ve used it on all our trim and cabinets in the house.)
Often, a home with three children begins to feel like everything is bursting at the seams. No where is safe from toys and paperwork and snacks. So, having a space with a little breathing room is so nice for Ryan and I.
We purchased the bed frame and end tables from … would you believe it? … WalMart.
The My Texas House Anna Upholstered Bed was less than $400 for a king-size bed and is quite lovely and sturdy in person. And the two coordinating night stands were a great, sturdy choice for under $150 each. I especially love the textured linen fabric on the bed frame.
I added bedding from Target employing gift cards and two red shopping carts. In the end, the combo was just the look I wanted. (Quilt by Threshold/Studio McGee, Linen comforter by Casaluna, Bolster pillow by Threshold/Studio McGee)
Moving to the opposite direction, we have our wall o’ closets. Its basically the equivalent of two 6 foot reach-in closets.
We skipped the bifold closet doors because I hate them with the heat of 1000 suns. Every single bifold closet door I’ve ever met has left me with disappointment. Including the three in my home.
I’m just happy I won’t have to throw a few sets of bifold doors out the window in a few years in a fit of rage.
We used Menards rebates that we had accumulated to pay for the closet system inside.
You’ll have to trust me on that because taking a photo of the inside of my closet gives me nervous hives. But we have drawers and shelves and hanging space and it’s more than enough space, even without a dresser.
The view out the window is better than my camera skills would have you believe. So much natural light.
I love looking out these windows. We did add a few roller shades which are simple and don’t obstruct from the windows or the views.
We also brought down our nursery rocker to the bedroom and Ryan and I both spend a lot of time here now – reading and scrolling and napping.
Owen was only slightly annoyed that we moved it here but it was a must when he moved into a big-boy bed anyway.
If I were to add anything to walls in this room, it would maybe be here. Maybe? But also maybe not? Like maybe a console table of some sort, if I could do it without it becoming a dumping ground for all the things. But, I’m also quite happy with this as it is.
It’s really stripped down to what we actually use and need.
We brought our rocker down to the bedroom and Ryan and I both spend a lot of time here hiding from our children relaxing.
And that’s the grand tour! Hope you enjoy our new space like we do. We feel so fortunate to have expanded our home and create this little oasis just for us.
Our kids are also enjoying having their own separate new rooms and maybe I’ll share those in the next 10 years.
Until then …
