Master bedroom, hollywood glam gray and turquoise

I have been redoing my master suite for awhile, almost a year.  Started out I was intending on a hollywood glam meets boho chic.  I had amazing bedding by Ralph Lauren and after setting it all up looked way to dark for me.  I wanted something light, bright, relaxing and soft all at the same time.  Not a tall order right?  For me everything seems to get turned into a huge project of constant changes.  I finally had picked the colors when I had to chose the wall color.  I went with Gray from Benjamin Moore I believe the color is Sparrow.  It looks amazing and with the white crown molding and base molding we love it.

I wanted a luxurious upholstered headboard.  This is a style I had loved for years and they have since made a huge come back.  At the time I wanted one they weren't in high demand and not as many people made them.  Now I see them at Marshall's, Homegoods even Kirklands carries them lol.  I ordered an inexpensive one from online but ordered Brown since my room was going to be neutral.  I always played it safe but now I love color.  I have dreamed of a bed from Z Gallerie for some time and have been saving.  I actually am very close to being able to purchase it and hope to have the bed by the end of the month or when we return from our vacation.  I have mentioned before I got antique french provincial dressers that I re painted myself white with silver knobs.  My husband and I love asian and moroccan decor so we have tons of Buddhas, lanterns, foo dogs, and other asian statues.  I love the lotus flower and have several asian tattoos so I have some lotus flowers also through out the room.

I want white bedding.  I purchased a comforter/duvet cover from Target that is white with gray/silver border that will do for now but I want my bedding to feel like a fancy luxurious hotel bed.  I stayed at the Wyndham Resort at Bonnet Creek with my mom back over the summer and have since been back once, I love their bedding.  I have to have a down comforter, white duvet cover, and luxurious white sheets.  I then am using turquoise/teal and gray as accent colors with a subtle amount of purple mixed in.  I had the purple from the darker bedding so decided it matched, plus bought a chair I love and until I can find room in my home wish list expenses to buy a replacement in gray or teal this one looks gorgeous and I love it.  Right now I have everything except the dream bed, for now my bed works and is gorgeous.  Then I want a mirror for over the bed, I have a mirrored frame their now with a sign reading "Every night kiss me goodnight" which was a gift.  I want to put the mirror on the side above security camera tv and get a sunburst or moroccan looking mirror over bed.  Below are some of my favorites from Target and Z Gallerie.  Showing the high and low cost items for those who are like me a budget conscious.  I will splurge on the bed, and some of the linens but will save on accessories for sure.

Master bedroom deal hunting

I have been working on my relaxing an soothing gray, turquoise and purple bedroom with lots of white those are the accents. Lots of silver and mirrored stuff very Girly and peaceful.

I started with some bedding I bought last year but later decided I didn't like it which I am mad at myself cause it wasn't cheap but still it is nice ad makes a good spare set. I bought the set of bedding with just an idea of how I wanted my room. Being a interior designer by passion and at heart I usually have a bigger plan this was more an impulse buy. Bedding usually comes later I usually pick a color scheme, purchase furniture, then soft scape like bedding, pillows, rugs etc, then accents. I did it all wrong was obsessed with animal print and bohemian design so bought what I saw and thought was my perfect bedding. Don't ever do this unless it is super cheap. It was in sale and way cheaper then retail was but still expensive in the long run lol.

I knew I wanted an upholstered headboard without spending thousands so bought one of the Internet for $300 it is brown and has silver nail head trim and button tufting love it. Wish now maybe gray but can always recover. I don't like matching bedroom sets like you buy at te furniture store I like eclectic and vintage furniture or Asian/Moroccan influenced pieces. I have tons of Asian and Moroccan accents from our prior bedroom so I held onto them.

I think I explained before I got some vintage French dressers and refinished them crisp white with silver knobs and then mirrored silver embossed Bombay style night stands from HomeGoods. I painted my room a silver gray with the addition of white crown molding which looks amazing. I did the wall behind our bed a faux style rag finish with silver, gray, white and a little blue/turquoise color.

I found a duvet and sheets along with pillowcases at target. I also found the skirt there. Still looking for turquoise euro sham covers thinking etsy cause I saw some I loved handmade:). I got an accent pillow at Kirklands on clearance that is white and turquoise then have some silver and purple pillows from old bedding. The duvet is white with silver border that looks like the mirrors I got previously from Kirklands which I was excited to find one more today;).

I can't wait to show the finished look and got my chandelier in route from overstock for dinning room. Posting some photos of some finds all from target clearance, Kirkland's sales and homegoods or Marshall's:). Paid way less then you could imagine have all my receipts so when I'm done I can do a detailed list of my super low budget master bedroom update. Stay tuned an enjoy my bad photos lol
