I shared my master bedroom with you a few days ago and had my wish list of things I wanted to change (which involves purchasing and actual work!) which will take some time.
I couldn’t stand it, so I “played” a little bit this past weekend, and things already look better to me.
The Before:
Three minor changes:
Took the drapes down
Changed some of the bedding (already had extra)
Put wall sconces (that I already had) next to the bed
Presto! Already lighter and brighter without much effort.
Also took down the heavy dark Tuscan painting and put up two original shell engravings in modern mirrored frames. (Already had these, too).
Before:
After:
Now to replace the very dark bed with an upholstered one!
Please don’t tell me you like the “before” better! I really need a change! LOL
I’ve been working on my mood board for this room and will reveal it next week!
Until next time,
Kim

I love the lighter looks with just the few changes you have made. I am so jealous though....I want to change my bedroom too but I have to wait :o( I am just itching to ditch my bed and get an upholstered headboard. I want a tall one though so I might have to break down and make one. LOL

Wow, Kim, you didn't waste any time!! LOL!! It looks great!! Isn't it funny how minimal tweaks can make such a difference?
Kim, those simple updates made such a difference! I love the new feel already!
love those simple changes. looks wonderful!!
I like them BOTH -but I really really REALLY love that bed.
How about keep the bed and just paint it a chippy fun white? Or even black to go with that toile?
Or French Country grey?
The bed is superb and I would gladly trade you anyday!
Your room is lovely, I like it brighter too.
It's a BEAUTIFUL room, both before and after. With summer coming, thought, the updates definitely make it lighter and lookin more like summer. Im with Michele, though. I love, love that bed. And, it would look great white.
