Tuesday, March 15, 2011 Accessorizing the Master Bedroom
Good morning pretty people! We are so excited to be moving along with our bedroom lately (can you tell?!)! The decisions come easier and easier with each new piece we bring in! It's such a great feeling! We put together a moodboard of our neutral-british-moroccan-cowboy theme. Check it out.
The pillows are from zgalleries.com (don't own yet), the walls were done by Joey just a little bit ago, the striped swatch are sheets from WestElm.com, which just got in last week and the Moose Head was meant for the mud room, but didn't fit, also from Zgalleries.com. The cowhide rug, we just got from ABC Carpet and Home, and that lovely stump is from WestElm.com.
I am very excited we agreed on a duvet, from none other than Dwell Studio, and our shiny little coffee table and matching console table from Timothy Oulton should be here this week! Now we just need to agree on dressing the windows and a rug for under the bed and the rest is g-r-a-v-y. We have some old army trunks we are going to do a little DIY project on and show you how to spruce up your own very soon. We feel super lucky to be getting the master suite we have always dreamed of for much cheaper then one would normally spend. With a little DIY effort and some deal hunting, we have managed to save the following so far:
$1,800 couch we scored for $600
$600 ottoman we scored for $300
$999 cowhide rug we scored for $349
$5,000 bed we loved, we built for $500
$300 wallpaper we loved, we stenciled for $60
$1,500+ Timothy Oulton Coffee Table we scored for $510
$1,500+ Timothy Oulton Console Table we scored for $710
Trunks were hand me downs $0
We spent: $3,029
We could have spent: $11,699
We have saved: $8,670!
I wish you could see all the happy spread across our faces when we save this much money! When we bought our home we estimated $20,000 per room, and we are super excited to be coming in way under! Have you scored BIG lately? Do tell! We always shop the online sample sales, and sometimes that forces us to wait and really think about how we are going to build a room. If you have any great advice, we (and our readers!) would love to know!

SO proud of you for saving so much money on your latest project! And I like the theme fusion - neutral-british-moroccan-cowboy....nice! It's exhilarating to makeover a room and know that you saved $$ but didn't compromise the look & feel you originally intended!
i love love LOVE your duvet choice. i have it in my guest bedroom and am obsessed with it. what i wouldnt give to get dwell to make their bed sets in a cali king size. you are going to be so happy to crawl into bed every night! so excited for you!
@erin thanks so much! it's so refreshing to not pay full price, but get full satisfaction! we will always avoid paying full price now that we learned this.
@the misses we are SO SO SO excited we agreed on one. and SCORE we got it on sale for $200 smackers reduced from $280. totally stocked to cozy up in this!
I am dying over all your accessories! What an outstanding look you have going on. Totally my style. Can't wait to see more.
I'm always looking for ways to build a room. I'm trying to get better at enjoying the "journey" and not be so anxious for the finished product because it's more fun when it evolves, although I hate waiting!
Glad to see you have so many things coming together.
@jessica Thanks for the sweetness! Almost everything is purchased, just pulling it all together - and trying to not avoid painting the rest of the room :)
