I am thrilled to have crossed the finish line on the Master Bedroom Redesign! Just in time for the Holidays, I say this qualifies as one very nice present.
There was certainly no shortage of DIY projects that went into the design of this bedroom. In fact, virtually everything in the room is a result of a do it yourself project. I suppose this is why the room took as long as it did to complete!
DIY Duvet, Cutting Is The Hardest Part
Sew A Cozy DIY Throw ~ A Wonderful Gift Idea
Stenciled DIY Coasters ~ Wrap Four With Ribbon For Hostess Gifts
DIY Art Using A Canvas & Nail Head Trim
While the bedroom and adjoining bath have distinct design personalities, a goal of the redesign was to create a cohesive look between the two rooms. Here the painted canvas and bronze nail head trim introduce the bathroom wall color and fixture finish into the bedroom design.
I love the light streaming in from the windows, on a rare sunny Winter day.
Pillows & More Pillows
Bringing In A Directoire Style Table From Target
Adding Trim To A Bedskirt...and getting the skirt to stay put:
Oh Bedskirts, How You Drive Me Crazy!
Oh Bedskirts, How You Drive Me Crazy!
Sewing Drapery Panels & Adding A Fabric Band Detail
Then, the project that inspired the redesign:
Building An Upholstered Headboard Wall
Building An Upholstered Headboard Wall
The Sofia Settee, A Popular Lounging Spot {Kids & Dog}
Creating & Hanging An Art Wall
What is a favorite feature of the redesign? Seeing the headboard wall reflected in the mirror as I stand at the bathroom sink!

You did a fabulous job on your room! Thanks for all the great tutorials!
I have loved following along on your journey to a beautiful master bedroom! Thank you for bringing us along!
I've died and gone to bedroom heaven! Beautiful job, Janell! Love every part of the room ESPECIALLY the headboard!
look fab!
Great job Janell! Looks great!!!
Pretty room. I love the pops of green you brought into this space, especially the band around the lampshades.
You're a very talented designer!
You should feel so proud, this is such a lovely space and I'm sure for a fraction of what it could have cost because you were so creative! It really looks stunning!
I absolutely LOVE IT.. So much class!!! Enjoy it.
It's so pretty. Your family must be proud of you for the work you have done.
Were you up on a ladder to get some of those shots?
omg, you are inspiring me to redecorate our master's bedroom! what a gorgeous space!
It's beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Janna
Janell, it's beautiful and to think that evey bit of this was practically a DIY is even more amazing! Congrats!
Mary...a step ladder! This room is small, approximately 12x15 and hard to photograph. Then I discovered stepping up on a step ladder (while hanging drapes) gives me a larger view of the space.
Janell
Absolutely gorgeous!! I am so impressed with your work! I adore your bedroom!!...and bathroom.
Janell, your bedroom is stunning! Every inch is so well done - just beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are amazing! Your DIY projects look high end and the amount of DIY/custom projects you did for this room is amazing. There's no other word for it! AMAZING! This is what I imagine my "grown up" bedroom looking like! Thanks for the constant source of inspiration you supply on a daily basis!
Quite Splendid.

It is gorgeous - my favorite part is that headboard! It's stunning!
Another stunning room love love brown...
love the view of headboard from bathroom sink If I did this at my masterbedroom it will be at exactly same view. once talked about this to my daughter. then heard her talking to my husband over the phone who's overseas right now.... she said " Daddy, Mommy is going to put a big headboard at your room.
Hubby was alarmed :) Yeah, like I really need him back home to be able to put one:)
Great job Janell!!!
The whole room is just so beautiful! And loving that most of it is the result of craft and creativity instead of buying stuff.
gorgeous- love the headboard, it's quite the statement in your room! You did such an amazing job on this space... all of the sewing you did really paid off- the bedding is to die for! Doesn't it feel SO good to finish a big project right before the Holiday madness begins?!
I just finished a 4 month kitchen renovation this week- so I have that accomplished feeling this week as well :)

Janell it looks like a picture in a magazine, it is really a beautifully done room!! Isn't it nice to go in there and not look around and make a to do list because you are allll done!!Yay,Kathysue
Seriously? You're soooo talented. That is straight outta magazine. Absolutely love it.
Your DIY projects are simply amazing. They all turn out beautifully, and you give such thorough instructions. I actually emailed a programming suggestion to HGTV because I would LOVE to watch you doing these projects regularly on your own show. (Loved you on the Nate Show.) You're an inspiration. =)
It's great! Congratulations on finishing it! Now, go take a nap in that gorgeous bed...
How beautiful! And what an informative write-up! Your bedroom is stunning.
-Trish
Every detail of this room is perfect!! You must be beside yourself. What I would give to have something finished around here :)
-Rene
Janell...what can I say...it is classic and beautiful. You stay true to your style...love it!
It looks wonderful, Janell! Congrats on completing it and I'll bet you can't stop looking around. All your hard work paid off!
All that work has paid off, so beautiful!
I think having something like a holiday is a good motivator to push me to complete projects. This room is to.die.for!! Your patience has definitely paid off.
It's gorgeous, I've loved watching it unfold and I think all your work definite paid off. Beautiful job!!
I am so not able to do anything remotely like this, but this looks like one of the most restful "real" rooms that I have seen in a long time. It has the feel of a sanctuary. You have really accomplished something wonderful here. Blessings and Merry Christmas!
realllllly beautiful, janell!
Janell, what a beautifully done room & to see all those DIY projects documented makes it all the more special. You're SO good!! I love it all & esp. took note of that Pagoda chandy, love that thing.
You did a lovely job and your hard work is rewarded with a serenely gorgeous place for sweet dreams and tranquil reflection. And occasional playtime with the little ones no doubt. I'm so impressed (and inspired)! Absolutely wonderful.
Looks awesome. Congrats!
Merry Christmas to you! So nice to enjoy the holidays knowing you have that beautiful retreat completed. It's just beautiful. I love the art wall and the little touches like the side table and the trim on the bed skirt. The woodwork trim in the room is so pretty as well.
Beautiful!!!! I know you are going to enjoy the holidays even more with that project behind you.
This turned out wonderfully -- I love the crisp but also moody and inviting palette. And of course, my favorite area is the sitting nook ;)
Enjoy it, Alcira

Wow, it turned out absolutely stunning. I love everything. Such a truly lovely room. Hugs, Marty
Hi Janell, congratulations on crossing the finish line. It really is beautiful. I love the chandelier and all the thought and detail. Did you plop down on the bed after taking these photos and take a moments rest? I bet not :)!! Great tutorials, too, of course!

You have created an absolute sanctuary!!! What an amazing space for you and your hubby. I've read every post leading up to this room, but I just clicked all the links again...just to revisit. It's gorgeous and you are beyond talented!
Can you give us the paint colors for the bedroom walls and ceiling and the bathroom please!!??
Your master bedroom is gorgeous! The headboard is stunning. Love your lantern light too. Wow. Now time to enjoy all that hard work.
xo,
cristin
It's beautiful! Your hard work paid off!
wow! i knew you had done a TON of diy projects to get this bedroom looking fabulous, but i didn't realize how MANY you had done! it's like the DIY OLYMPICS, and you deserve THE GOLD MEDAL.
and i love how the favorite part of a room can sometimes be the thing that wasn't really planned--seeing that gorgeous head board in the bathroom mirror everyday will remind you of how talented you are. kinda like a mini daily affirmation.
:)
Carol, of course I didn't rest after the photos...smart of you to know that! But my husband and I had a few laughs later, the bedding is really warm...he was teasing me about that! Come summer I will have to lighten things up!
Autumn...too funny. DIY Olympics, I'll remember that one!
Janell
I absolutely love the colors in this space, the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, and your fabrics are divine! That pagoda chandy has me swooning! So much hard work went into this space, how lovely it must be to retire here at the end of the day!

This is sooo beautiful. A friend of mine once used a similar color combination with crown molding in her den and I have been in love with it ever since. Seeing it in your bedroom just solidifies that it has to go somewhere in my house at some point.
A job well done!
Gorgeous Janell! Love the headboard WALL - so striking. I have that same fabric in opposite (chocolate brown w/white design). What a lovely way to start and end your day!
Janell- your efforts are amazing! This room is beautiful, serene, the perfect bit of masculine- I just love it. That headboard sure makes a statement and all the complimenting pieces and accessories work wonderfully together. I am amazed that you got anything else done while you were completing this!
Janell I love your reference to "crossing the finish line". You have and ended with first place! Your master bedroom is fabulous and much to be proud of and have a sense of great accomplishment.
Sending my favorite PNW designer much holiday cheer ~ Deb
I adore what you've done to this room! I love the shades of chocolate brown with touches of green throughout. These lamp shades are So great! I wish I was that creative - and brave - to attempt that myself!
It's SO elegant and sophisticated...LOVE.
I just love it! You are a awe worthy! Your kitchen is always a favorite of mine as well!
Yay!! Congrats on completion!! It looks so good, the headboard remains my favorite part!
I think the part that impresses me most, is how you make things look expensive, even when they weren't. Is that something that you could explain in a blog posting, or just an invisible knack you have??
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
It's done and it's beautiful! Up next, you coming back to SF and doing our master suite :) Janell, it is so amazing that you had the tenacity and vision to pull all of this together. Everything just works so well together.....it's almost like you hired a designer (wink). This really should go in your portfolio :) Congrats!
It is the best christmas present! You have done a great job. I just love your home.
Janell... this is fabulous. You did such a great job balancing all of the elements. It's insanely sophisticated yet so comfortable looking. Fabulous job!
Simply an amazing bedroom!! I love every aspect you did in your room!! The colors all look amazing together and the headboard is perfect!!
Thanks everyone!! I wish I could give a personal tour...try as I might the photos don't quite convey how it looks in person, which is even better, if I do say so myself! The textures pop and the colors read clearer...but this is close!
Janell
I love this room and I LOVE your blog! It's a treat for me each day to read alll that you have done! Well done!
Wow, once you listed all the DIY projects all together I was blown away!! You created such a beautiful and cozy space - and I must say, that headboard is just to die for. Love it all! :)
This is fabulous janell! I've loved watching it come all together and the end result is nothing but wonderful! I love the use of textures, you must love resting your head at the end of the day!
XO
Kristin
Stunning! I would love to sleep in that room every night.
Everything about it is loaded with creativity. The headboard has to be my favorite part. It must feel so good to be finished with the project.
Karen & Kristin...
Yes, being done lets me lay in bed and night and actually rest rather than think about what is next for the space!! :) Janell
Everywhere I look there is something wonderful to view! Love love this room so chic and rich with texture! I love calming spaces at the end of a day!
It turned out so amazing! Just in time to enjoy it! And as usual, thanks for ALL of the DIY project instructions! You are the best!!
Perfection, Janell! My husband just said "we need to hire Janell to come do our bedroom"! He and I both love it! I have enjoyed following your journey of your master bedroom. It is a gorgeous retreat and what a lovely place to retire each night. Even mroe specail because you have personally created the room. You should be featured in a magazine!
It is perfection!
this is an amazing room! you've inspired my plans for an upholstered headboard for our bed...love it
This turned out so beautifully! I've enjoyed going through the process with you. That headboard is pure drama! Love it.
That is a gorgeous room. I think it's a great use of pattern and texture. I love that head board! I'm curious as to how high the ceilings are!
xoxo
Lila Ferraro
The ceilings are 9 feet tall, they look taller I think. Probably due to the room being on the smaller side, (12x15) so proportionally they look high, adding to a more spacious overall feel.
Janell
I've enjoyed watching you transform this space, your attention to detail is amazing!! I even noticed that little newsprint birdie!! so cute!
What a labor of love. How rewarding that you did it all yourself. It looks beyond amazing. I've kept up all along the way with your redesign...but to see it all listed together...I didn't realize just how much you did. WOW!! Congratulations on a job well done.
Janell, this is just STUNNING!!! Congratulations, it was well worth the wait...and the hard work!

I usually don't comment on blogs but this blog inspired me to make one compliment as I know it's not enough for the meaningful context in your writing as one could understand it easily,
