Cha cha cha changes!: Master Bedroom

Sooooooo, we made some changes to the bedroom. When we build the bed, we placed it on the far side of the master bedroom - in front of a window. We were always "eh" about it, but it made the most sense because of where the cable is hooked up. Then Mr. Orlando questioned it, and while I was defending my decision, I realized I was talking fluff. Here is what it's looked like for the past six months:

Meh at best. To give you an idea of what's going on, on the other side of the room:

So with the new year, we went for a new look. A little more interest, color pops, and smiles.

We kept the moose in his home (check out a nifty tip on how we hung him!), and added some more art and curiosities. 

Things changed by the bathroom hallway a lot! We moved our Timothy Oulton chest console and put a real vintage school map above it. We really love it over here now.

If you take a few steps back, the couch and coffee table are pretty much in the same spot they were before. It just works. 

The window that was covered up by the bed, is now free to let even more light in! So much better!

The chest across the room got a new lamp and shade, and I moved the succulants closer to the natural light. 

The bed was moved to where our old bed use to be when we first moved in. It looks a bit wonky because we still have a queen mattress on the king frame. Shame on us. We resolve to get the king mattress in the next few months. I was able to find our old duvet cover from dwell again, right after I purchased one from Orla Kiely. Oh well!

We added some light to that dark corner. 'Sup classy brass?

Joey got me this super cute peace plate for Christmas. I wouldn't dare eat off of it. Hello new home for air plant. 

So that's where we are with our master bedroom. It feels more lived in and less sterile than before. I love what a little color has done! Have you ever had that happen to you? Just add a little color, and the whole feeling of the room changes?

I've seen your bed before on the blog, and you've mentioned a couple of times that you made it (holy woah!) - do you have any posts detailing how you created it? Or any tips for someone who wants to create something like that? :) Also - i loooove how you changed things around! Such a fantastic, eclectic yet cohesive mix! Love love love. xo
