Drumroll please. Strike up the band. Drop the confetti. Release the doves…
Can you tell we’re beyond excited to share Stacie’s amazing Young House Love inspired master bedroom transformation? A few weeks ago we whipped up a mood board, and Stacie spared no time putting our plan into action. But even we couldn’t predict the insanely dramatic makeover that ensued.
Here are a few of the “before” shots:
She wanted a lighter and brighter room with a clean and contemporary look (and a dash of hollywood regency) while keeping the current headboard, dresser, tv, pendant lights, and window shades. Here’s a look back at the mood board we created that sparked such a major makeover:
And here’s Stacie’s totally transformed “after” of a bedroom thanks to a bunch of items from our mood board as well as a few additions that were inspired by our suggestions:
Everything from our new wall color suggestion and accompanying color scheme to our idea to paint the frame around the existing headboard and create a seating area with a fun white arc lamp completed this major bedroom makeover on a dime. And Stacie didn’t even need to purchase every single piece from our mood board, she happily took our new light & bright bedroom concept and ran with it, which actually saved her even more money along the way. What does she think of the transformation? Well…
Can’t thank you enough for all the design advice and help. You have inspired me to overhaul my my dark, cave-like bedroom, and the outcome is amazing. The mood board was so awesome! Some of the ideas I took exactly from you, and some I interpreted in my own way. The main thing is the paint color. I’m not the best at paint colors, often painting 3 times until I get a color I like. But I threw caution to the wind and just put up exactly what you recommended and I LOVE IT!!!!!! So bright, airy and calming at the same time. Painting the radiator to the left of the fireplace a dark color to balance my dresser was genius. Love the arc lamp you found too, and painting the headboard was the best idea. I decided on a bolder rug, and different bedding but I added in the cool blue green color you suggested with pillows (on the cheap from Marshall’s) and a $13.00 (!) velvet throw for the reading chair. These pics don’t even do it justice but I wanted to get some afters to you asap. I am now a loyal fan and daily reader of your blog… keep up the good work!! – Stacie
We love Stacie’s new master bedroom (and the fact that she worked her butt off over the past few weeks to get us these afters) but we’re dying to hear what you guys think. Feel free to shower her with the praise that she deserves and steal a few ideas of your own.
Lovely! She did a fabulous job.
wonderful job!!! great advise sherry & john!
“Insanely dramatic” doesn’t even do it justice. WOW!!!!
Bedroom looks great – so light & airy. Where did the White chair come from?
Wow that is gorgeous! Stacie, you did a great job. I love how large your room is too, that makes me super jealous. :)
wow wow wow! great job, Stacie (and John and Sherry for the suggestions)!
Amazing transformation! Stacie, where did you find that rug?
The after looks so Fresh & bright. I love how she interpreted your suggestions to items that worked for her, at her price point!! Great job Stacie!!
Absolutely fantastic! I’m in search of a new color for my family/dining room, and this might be it.
gorgeous!!!
So lovely. I’d love to know where Stacie found her reading chair.
G O R G E O U S ! ! !
Holy moly! That looks a thousand times better! Nice work Stacie!

Wow, I gasped when I saw it! Stacie, it looks so wonderful. LOVE LOVE LOVE the pendants on either side of the bed, and the light blue accents make it seem so light yet cozy. I can hardly wait until I have a room of my own to send in!
Wow! You are all so nice to comment. I LOVED doing this update and glad you all dig it. The chair is from Room & Board. They only have like 2 or 3 stores (and none near Richmond) so I had it shipped. The rug is from Pottery Barn. I think it was called the Moorish Tile Rug and that color is espresso, but it looks totally hot in orange too.
I love being in that room now, its a breath of fresh air.
Thanks again to John & Sherry and send in your moodboard requests! SO helpful if you are stuck in your own design dilemma.
Wowza — what a great job, and what a lovely room to rest in! The color pallet is among my favorites…I love those soothing beachy tones with some dark wood accents. Yummy!
What is the paint color called? Also love the cherry blossom panel art. Where did you find it? A gorgeous transformation…really inspiring. Lauren
Hey Lauren,
The paint color is Glidden’s “Sand White”- one of our personal favorites. As for the panel art, Stacie found it on her own so she’ll have to chime in and spill the beans!
xo,
Sherry
The panels are, believe it or not, from Crate and Barrel and they were my big splurge of the room, at about $500.00 for all 4 panels. But i couldn’t resist when i a saw them and i know ill have them forever. Classic.
What i didn’t mention is that in the winter, i plan to remove the blue green accent pillows and throw and bring in orange accents to match the panels. I love a room that can change with the seasons easily.
So, the rug is beautiful, but it looks lighter than the rug on the PB website– the espresso color there looks very dark brown whereas your rug shot makes it look like a nice warm tan? If you could confirm whether that rug is dark brown or tan- If it is lighter I think I will scoop one up!
WOW. I was in shock when i saw this transformation but the room looks GORGEOUS!!! I love the color and how airy it looks. Congratulations on an amazing job!!!!
The rug does look more tan than what Pottery Barn shows on their site… if it’s truly lighter, then I might pick one up, too.
The rug is def. a lighter brown/med. tan.
Much lighter than the chocolate brown the PB
website suggests. Happy shopping!
I was wondering where you found your sunburst mirror? I love it! I’ve been looking for something similar for my dining room. Beautiful room and amazing transformation!
Eeks, someone posted here and somehow it got deleted but the question was about whether the headboard was Sand White or the walls. The answer: the walls! Although the name is deceiving, the perfect tan tone on the walls is Sand White (by Glidden) and the headboard was just painted with some glossy white trim paint. Hope that helps! Sorry about the comment disappearing act!
xoxo,
Sherry
Is there any way you can ask Stacie where she bought the artwork above her bed?
Thanks
Christine
Hey Christine,
Stacie snagged that art from Crate & Barrel. She admits it was her “splurge.” You can see it here on their website:

Hope that helps!

The “after” looks absolutely gorgeous.
I adore the bedspread – is there anyway to find out where Stacie got it from? Thanks much!
Yes, me too! I have to know more about that YUMMY bedding!
Hey guys,
Thanks again for all the complements! The duvet’s from Anthropologie, but I dont know if they have it anymore!
Stacie
The duvet cover. Where did it come from? I love it!
Hey Cindy,
The duvet cover is from Anthropologie but Stacie doesn’t know if they have it anymore. Hope it helps!
xo,
Sherry
Sherry,
I thought it might be. It’s not there anymore but I’ll keep my eyes open. I’ve been looking for something similar for my own room.
Thanks.
The duvet is actually a Dwell Studio design, and it’s still available (in persimmon or saffron) through dwellshop.com:

Good to know Casey! Thanks so much for the tip.

Would you happen to know where the garden stool/side table by the chair came from? This bedroom is amazing, Stacie.
John and Sherry, I adore your website. It has been really inspiring as I am attempting to navigate decorating my first house. Thank you!
Hey Erin,
Good question! We don’t remember the answer off the top of our heads but we’ll drop Stacie an email and hopefully she can pop in and comment with the details.
xoxo,
Sherry
Hey Erin,
We’re back with that stool answer for ya! It’s actually from West Elm. Hope it helps! Happy shopping…

Sherry
Hey guys. I LOVE this mood board and am wondering if you can re-post where all the items can be purchased. I am also trying to do my bedroom in a Hollywood regency type style. So far, I have sandy beige walls; white, layered bedding; black and white vintagey floral print chair from Ikea; and black furniture from Ikea. It is looking great, but it needs a little color. Can you guys suggest a good accent color that would fit with the look I’m going for?
Hey Casey,
The linked phrase at the top of the post that says “a few weeks ago” will take you to the original mood board with all the info you’re looking for! As for an accent color you could go with a silvery blue for a gorgeous and glam effect. Hope it helps!

Thanks, Sherry. I think I will do the silver/blue color. Do you know where Stacie got her blue throw (on chair)?
Maybe West Elm? You can probably find something similar at TJ Maxx, Target, or even on ebay. Hope it helps!

s
Love the living and bedroom. Would you happen to know where the mirrored, sun wall decor in the living room is from?
Hey Angie,
We believe it’s from Crate & Barrel although they might not sell it anymore. Maybe try ebay? You can search for a “sunburst wall mirror.” Hope it helps!

i love this room….love your site…love it all…
quick question – what is the bluish/gray color featured on the mood board? i am painting my bedroom this weekend and it looks like that may be just the color i have been looking for!
thanks in advance.

Hey Andrea,
Try Benjamin Moore’s Quiet Moments. Hope it helps!

Sherry, thank you so much for the stool answer. I heart you. (and tell everyone we’re best friends…) Just kidding, of course ;) …. except for that I heart you. :)
Erin
Haha, I heart you right back. Glad to help!

Any idea where the chair pillow is from? Would love to get one, thanks!
Crate & Barrel. Hope it helps!

Where or where are the lights on the nightstands from (or are they hanging above? scones maybe?) So beautiful!
-alice
Hey Alice,
Yup, they’re hanging pendant lights that are plugged in and just swagged up the wall and then hooked from the ceiling so they dangle above each night stand. As for the actual source, I’m not sure where they’re from (although if you scroll up Stacie might have provided that info above). If not, maybe she’ll stop in with that info soon.

Love this room… can you tell me if the bed is a queen size or king size…
Thanks so much….
We believe it’s a king sized bed. Feel free to correct us Stacie or Jeff!

Can you tell me where the cherry blossom art above the bed is purchased from??? so pretty!
It was a splurge from Crate & Barrel. Hope it helps!

Stacie’s rug in the AFTER bedroom is beautiful. Any idea where its from?
Yup, it’s the Moorish Tile Rug from Pottery Barn, but they no longer sell it so maybe you’ll have luck looking for it on ebay? Hope it helps!
xo,
s
I love that chair! Do you know where she found it?
We think Stacie listed where she got that chair above, so just scroll back through the comments for that info. Hope it helps!

I am a new viewer to your site and you guys have such a great vibe and very user friendly site. I am a television editor professionally but an interior designer in my heart. I am trying so hard to find a cool but not too sixties arc lamp like the one Stacie got. I haven’t seen where you got it. Can you tell me?

Hi,
Your site was recommended on Ideal Home web page. Gotta say it’s added as a fave already and I particularly love these rooms. Just hope I can find the stuff to do it all here in England!

Hi there, where did you find the duvet cover? Love it.
Thank you, Liz
Elizabeth – The duvet cover is from West Elm a few years ago. It’s discontinued now, but you might be able to find one on eBay.
Mary – All of our extra pillows sit piled in the leather chair on the other side of the room when not on the bed. Since we don’t sit in the chair all that much, they’ve never really been in the way over there.
-John
I LOVE the paint color. Can you tell me what you used?
It’s Sand White by Glidden.
