So, this is a true work in progress (not a Before/After). I'm a very much live with what I have until I find the right thing type person. For me, a before and after might take years.
Basically, I want to show you the before of our master bedroom and then show you our progress. Hope that's ok with you!
When we first moved in there was floor to ceiling wallpaper (even with an extra border on top!).
We painted immediately and love the color we chose. It's Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams. Seriously, I love it. It pulls aqua, blue and green at different times during the day.
We eventually bought the white bed frame, corner chair and Ikea Lack tables (to serve temporarily as night stands). Here and there, I picked up a few items, but it wasn't until yesterday that I felt like it was finally coming together. We finished a DIY headboard (under $30). I'll have the breakdown on that on Monday.
So, this is where we're at right now:
I still have a few fixes:
-Replace Ikea Curtains with Grey Linen Curtains
-Add a large bamboo shade to cover the cheap roller blinds
-Buy real nightstands with a drawer and a ring pull (I love those ring pulls!)
-Add more wall art
-Recover ottoman
-Decide what to do about the black mirrors (get rid of the black and change to what?)
Did I offend anyone by showing an in-progress room instead of a before/after?
Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks Julia! Still trying to decide on the black mirrors, but I feel like it is finally coming together. =)

I think this could totally pass for a before/after reveal, because really, it's gorgeous. You'll just have "after" and "completely finished" - although honestly, is a room ever really finished?
Love it and love the wall colors.
Can you pull a color from one of your paintings to paint the mirrors with?
Am I weird that I want to know what's in the bag on top of the DVD player, LOL
Ashley Mayes
Thanks Charlotte. I was possibly thinking about painting the mirror over the dresser white and leaving the black mirror? I don't know. I have a b/w canvas wedding photo of Luke and I that I just love and wanted to somehow/maybe incorporate it in to the bedroom. hmm...
Ashley Mayes
oh, and there are washcloths stuffed in to the bag to make it stand up. lol. My mom bought the bag for me because she thought it looked like me (and it does), but I just didn't know what to do with it. Now, its hiding a speaker.

Love it! The all color is georg! And the ceiling lamp thing is super cool! Nice work! But I'm seriously confused on why you wanted to get of that lovely wall paper....wink!
Ashley Mayes

Thanks Ingrid! I'm glad you mentioned that you don't mind seeing a "work in progress" as that is truly what it is.
Megan @ Homemade Ginger
I LOVE how clean and modern it is. Also, I've had that painting pinned on Pinterest for awhile. It's beautiful.
Ashley Mayes
Thanks Megan! The painting is the centerpiece. Since I bought that one from Caroline Wright, I have bought two more (One Kings Lane). I adore her work.
Michelle
I really love it. The colors are so soothing. Nice!

Hi Ashley
what a great color scheme! I love the wonderful shades of blue you've picked. You must sleep well with those relaxing hues all around you. Thanks for the inspiration. I know you said you have a few more things to do before it's perfect but it looks very close..
Ashley Mayes
Thanks Christine!
Anne
I love the cool and relaxing colors. And I am with you...my before and afters could be weeks, months, YEARS apart. I really enjoy seeing the progress. I am inspired!

Moving from floor to ceiling wallpaper idea was great. Seriously, I love it. The selection of white bed frame, corner chair, and Ikea Lack tables was even better.
