Mini-Makeover in my Master Bedroom

I had to opportunity to redo my bedroom thanks to some gift cards I got for Christmas
(yeah, last Christmas! I drafted this post early last spring and forgot to put it on until now).

Here's a look at my bedroom before:

 In the distance you can see that I made a window valance to match the blanket on the bed.

Nice and all. It just needed an update.

 I started collecting swatches of fabric last November. 

I knew I loved this fabric, but I just wasn't sure where I was going to use it. 

The headboard won out.

Taking cues from one of the other fabric's I selected, 

I found this great bedspread and pillow shams continuing the mini-makeover...

The next step comes with layering with pillows.

And a cozy blanket with lots of texture!

I used the existing cornice boards that Ben and I made 

and recovered them with some of the fabric I used on the pillows. 

Added some beaded trim from some drama.

I love coming home to my house and climbing into my cozy bed!

It's so fun to redecorate when you have great trims to work with:

Come on over sometime, I'd love to give you a tour in person!
