    Dreamy Bohemian Bedroom Design

    April 21, 2016 by Ashley Mayes 25 Comments

    It's the third week of the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home, which is exciting but scary as well! We are half-way to the finish line and my room has gone from cute to OH MY GOSH. 'OH MY GOSH' in a scary, what-have-I-done way! We have back-peddaled hard but I still have hope for it.

    Before we jump into what we've done/not done this week let's look at the schedule.

    Thursday, April 7th (week 1) – Introduce your space, and tell us your plan. Check that post out to get started!

    Thursday, April 14th (week 2) – Show us your progress. What have you accomplished? I rounded up some Modern Nightstand Options for week 2. You guys chimed in on your favorites and most of you said that you loved quite a bit of them. It was fun to hear what each of you liked and what you thought I might have picked. You'll get to see my pick below. =)

    Thursday, April 21st (week 3) – Have you encountered any setbacks? Any happy accidents? - That's this week!

    Ok, so let's jump right in. I haven't shared my design concept for the space yet. I finally got it put together so I thought today would be a perfect time to share.

    Modern Boho Master Bedroom

    Do you like it? Does it feel different than before? Let me remind you how the room was decorated before.

    Bright and Modern Master Bedroom

    Basically, I've added in more wood tones, texture and brass since the reveal a few years ago. I've done some major purging on what I didn't love and am now starting off with a blank canvas.

    I'm still on the fence about the wall color. I truly love the color and it's so calming, BUT I don't think I love it for my space. To me, it pulls a bit beach-ey. Did I just make up that word?! Oops. Basically, I love the color but it just doesn't feel like it goes with the room anymore. I've been craving more neutrals. So, the jury is still out but don't be surprised if you see the paint go bye-bye.

    If I decide to paint it, it will happen this weekend before the new floors are installed. Did you catch the sneak peek that I posted on Instagram? I seriously can... not... wait to get the floors installed and stained. The installer comes on Tuesday and said the house would take about a week. That doesn't give me much time to get the room whipped back in to shape.

    So, just to sum up how productive I've been. Basically, I've demo'd the room and shopped. That's about it.

    So, do you like where the space is going? Does it feel like it goes with the rest of my house? That's always my concern!

        Thanks Cassie! My design board may have just changed a bit - I scored a cool mid-century headboard. We'll see though. =)

      This all looks so great! I've been eyeing that same bench in the darker color for a while now, but I like it even better in the lighter color! And I think the nightstands you picked are perfect. 🙂

        That bench is so good! I actually have a woven one from Target that will probably end up in there because it's got the boot from it's other spots. But, I'd love to have that one as well. Thanks Brit!

        Thanks Deborah. I really liked the before but it just wasn't working for us. Time for a change.

      Yes, yes, yes- I think your choices are going to come together great! I need to know more about those wood floors. Are they European white oak? They look super close to what we put in our bedroom, and rest of our house. I love them!

        Thanks Erin! They are from a local mill - 5" unfinished oak. I went back and forth on the European White oak (which is so similar) because I loved it. After consulting with our installer, he recommended the unfinished flooring. We have a custom circular staircase which we are doing in the oak as well and it was going to be cheaper (still over $3000 just for the staircase - boo!) to go with the unfinished. Anyways, I'm going for a super light (but slightly brown stain)... I think. This decision has been the hardest for sure.

        Thanks Anni! I feel so grown up with new working (real) nightstands. It's funny that it's taken me till my 30s to feel that way=)

      Love your ideas for this space. I think it's going to be a big change. Isn't it funny how our tastes grow... even over a couple year's time?

      Love it, and I think it totally works with the rest of your house. I am digging the night stands! I think round ones are so fun. But I have to admit...I'm most excited about the floors! They're going to change the whole space!
