I am so freaking excited about this room!!!!! I’ve just really been enjoying taking my time on each room in our house and really waiting for every *perfect* piece to make it’s way into our lives. So finally, I’m ready to reveal our master bedroom! This room was probably the most disgusting in the house when we bought it, covered in stained carpet, with a weird kitchenette off the back (now our master closet!). As a result, it feels especially awesome to have it DONE!
I wanted the room to be light, bright and relaxing so we focused on lots of whites and neutrals with only one “pop” of color, varying shades of soft peaches and pinks. You can see the before and after below along with probably a few too many photos of every detail. It’s so hard to narrow!

This room is the perfect marrying of Jeff and my styles. We worked with Room & Board to anchor the room with more structured pieces, like the Architecture bed, and than I layered on layers of texture and rattan. Similarly, we got this gorgeous structured dresser, but added brass textured handles. I love how it all came together here.
All of our bedding (sans one or two pillows) is from Kip & Co. They’re an Australian brand but recently launched in the U.S. too (HALLELUJAH!) and they are my absolute favorite bedding source. They have the most GORGEOUS linen and velvet pieces in all sorts of shades. The quality is beautiful and honestly their photos are freaking stunning.
Across from the bed we decided to put together a gallery wall surrounding our TV. And yes, that large moroccan print you see up there is actually a TV, the Frame TV. This TV is my prized possession and literally worth every penny, in my opinion. Say what you want about TVs in the bedroom, but we love TV and it’s how we unwind so it was non-negotiable. The fact that this one looks like an art piece when it’s off is UNREAL. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have a regular TV again.
Framebridge helped us out with the art we needed framed which was great because almost every piece we got was a strange size. They custom frame each piece so you don’t have to worry about fitting it into a non-fitting frame. And for the first time ever, I mix and matched the frames a bit and really like how it turned out!
We also hung a couple pieces Arlo painted because how could we not!? I love that some of his very first artwork now lives in our room. And also can I get an AMEN for the difference that rattan shade makes compared to the (very weirdly placed) ceiling fan we started with!? Yesssss!
What else… oh! I layered rugs for the first time ever here too. The vintage moroccan rug from Coco Carpets is the first item we picked for the room actually and set the palette. It’s so beautiful and we were told it tells a children’s story with the little people motifs it has within it’s design. Since the room is pretty large, and since we wanted it to “pop” more, we decided to layer it on top of a thick cable knit rug. I’m so happy with it!

It’s beautiful, Kelly! Where/how is your tv plugged in? It truly blends in flawlessly.

It’s wired internally in the wall and then there’s a narrow box that comes with the Frame, plus a tiny cable box, that are hidden in one of those cable box “protectors” behind the curtain! Neither of them have to have a remote pointed directly at them in order to work so we’re able to put them anywhere in the room which is nice!
Vicki September 25, 2018
I love it, everything looks great! QUESTION ABOUT THE FRAME TV though – where are the cable connections and box? In the wall? Hidden somewhere else? It’s absolutely stunning and I’m intrigued.
Kelly September 25, 2018
Just answered above! It worked out pretty seamlessly!!
Joanne September 25, 2018

Dumb question but what do you do with all the pillows when you sleep? I want more but never know what to do with them
Ashley September 25, 2018
I love how it all came together. I always look to you guys for color inspiration. I have a little one as well and as much as I appreciate clients who say white white and more white, I love the bravery to live in color! Kids need color and the kid inside us adults need color too!
Alexandra September 25, 2018
That TV is literally blowing my mind. What a beautiful space!
Kelly September 25, 2018
RIGHT!? Every night I walk into the room and go “WOW. This is the best thing I’ve ever owned.” hahaha!
