Our cozy master bedroom reveal {with wallpaper, dark paint and wood accents}

Hello my friends! I hope you’re doing well! I’ve been busy finishing up a big paint job in our master bedroom. This room isn’t completely finished just yet — I’d like to add some decorative touches to complete the space. But until I can get into a HomeGoods again, this is where we’re at. 🙂

Let’s look back at where we started! This is how the room looked before moving in:

I’d love to lighten up the window treatments someday — both the shades and the curtains. But these were super affordable and they block the light big time. We need DARKNESS when we sleep so light blocking drapes are non-negotiable. (I’ll list sources for everything in this room at the bottom of the post!)

Eventually I hope to find lighter treatments that still keep it dark at night…but I’m not super hopeful that I’ll find them without spending a fortune. So until I find exactly what I want, these work great! (The drapes come in a few colors and are SUPER long, which is hard to find!) 

I decided to keep the cozy vibe going…I hung the peel and stick grasscloth wallpaper last fall. I LOVE this wallpaper!: 

Oh, and we had the hardwoods continued in here as well. We were lucky to get just enough to do this room and my office — the floors were discontinued soon after we moved in. 

After all of that I focused on other projects around the house for a bit. I tend to flit from project to project…if you haven’t noticed. Ha! I finally finished up the paint on the chair rail and below last week. I used the same color as the tray ceiling — Westchester Gray by Sherwin-Williams. 

This space is SO cozy and warm…we absolutely love it! Here’s how it looks now: 

Now more than ever, I wanted this room to feel like a warm “hug” — a little hokey I know, but home has never meant more! 

I thought about painting the window trim for a hot second…and then quickly decided against it. It will take forever. Maybe I’ll do it eventually but I’m waiting on that project! 

Here’s a look at my favorite side of the room before: 

And here it is now with the wood beams, wallpaper, trim and paint: 

I was planning to paint that dresser, but after I painted I changed my mind…for now. I like the wood tone against the gray. We’ll see what happens. 🙂 

This room gets a TON of natural light, so it was easy to go darker with the paint and ceiling. It’s still super bright and light. But at night it feels like a cocoon and we love it: 

This isn’t the final reveal…I’ll zhuzh it up some more when I can shop again. 🙂 But I’ve worked really hard on this space and wanted to share the progress! 

I’ve been getting a ton done lately! Not all super exciting stuff, but I’m getting a bunch knocked off my to do list. It feels good! I’m going to tackle a few more small projects and then start another big one that involves a lot of painting.  

Here’s a source list — let me know if I forgot anything!
