I am so embarrassed because I was searching through the archives for this post, and I realized I never posted it! Haha.
When Alyssa Rosenheck photographed my home for domino, this was the first time our bedroom was photographed in its current state. It’s really close to where we want it to be. It’s light, airy, simple and relaxing.

This really is my dream bedroom. I regret zero choices we’ve made in here, which is pretty much a first for me. I think it helped that we designed it to be really chill and a good place to sleep and that’s pretty much it. Originally I was afraid it would be kind of a boring room, and then it surprised me and turned out to be a favorite. And do you remember what it looked like before???
I seriously ordered this chandelier the week it came out. It’s just such a dream (and so affordable!), I think it went into my shopping cart the moment it came up on the website. It was one of the last rooms I swapped (and we went without any light up there for several months). Good things come to those who wait, I guess!

Want to hear a funny story about this bed? My parents bought it for me almost ten years ago. It’s a queen size, and I love it. I moved almost every year all through my twenties and squeezed this big metal bed frame into some tiny, very awkward apartment bedrooms in the past. We almost got a new one when we moved because we wanted to try a lower bed (because of our dogs and their delicate little backs—that’s why the bench is there now). But then we were going over budget in all kinds of areas. So we decided to keep it, and we painted it white to match our new vibes. Then I fell MADLY in love with it again. So much love. And then, after we moved, we needed a new mattress, so we invested in an organic one. Everything was absolutely perfect. Until we went on a trip to Palm Springs last month and slept in king size beds all week. And Jeremy (the man who never asks for anything, especially things that cost $$$$) says we should change to a king size bed. Sigh. (I told him maybe next year.)
Still loving our DIY IKEA dresser. Originally we had a mirror up there but realized that with our bathroom with double mirrors right in our room, we didn’t need it. So instead I opted for a gigantic Max Wanger print from Urban Outfitters. Love it so much!
Found that salt lamp at Home Goods. The pretty brass hand is Jonathan Adler from Lulu & Georgia.
That’s all, you guys! Hope you enjoyed these peeks into our master bedroom. And if you have any advice for us, whether for or against the king bed situation, we’d love to hear your thoughts!

What size of print did you buy?? I LOVE how huge it is!!
Love your room!
Definitely a queen bed. From a feng shui perspective, king beds are almost worse than a twin. Here’s a little explanation from one of my fellow feng shui experts, Ken Lauher:
“A Queen bed is recommended over a King or California King size bed for two reasons. A King size bed leaves no room for upgrading. Since you’ve already reached the maximum level, the only way to move is downward, so your next bed might be to move to a single bed. .Additionally, a King size mattress typically rests on two box springs, which can suggest a separation between partners who sleep in the bed together. ”
Love your blog and ideas! =)
Your room is kind of Hygge but bright and serene looking. So pretty~❤

Elsie, I am SO inspired by this room. I second your notion of regretting nothing: it’s perfect.
My dining room ceiling is pink, and I want to freshen it. What paint color did you use on the ceiling?
What a change!!! I love it, so bright and comfy!
You always surprise me!

The walls are white, but the pink ceiling casts a little pink tone on them.

My husband uses a box fan to sleep so I haven’t needed one. But I think I saw a modern fan guide on the blog “Almost Makes Perfect”! xx- Elsie
Hi Jessica!

Hi Leigh!
I don’t really read in bed often, but our overhead light works well when I do. I keep my water on the side table right now, but I would like to find bedside tables sometime (but the height makes it kind of difficult because most are too short). I’m always on the lookout!

Hi Abby!
The ceiling is baby blush by Valspar. I am going to do a guide to ALL my paint colors on here soon!

We got ours from Keetsa!

Interesting! I haven’t noticed anything like that. Maybe I don’t keep it lit long enough?

I guess it all depends on the couple. My husband love it!

Good to know!!! 🙂

Awe- Thank you Rae!!!!

Yeah- I’m a little concerned too that if we switched it would throw off the proportions. But we’ll see. :))
