I was over the moon excited when I saw some amazing progress photos from one of my recent clients. Melissa, who writes a great DIY blog, The Happier Homemaker, was the winner of an e-design giveaway that I did a while back. She wanted some ideas for her master bedroom. She was looking to make the space feel serene, light and relaxing. Melissa is off to a great start, as she has already painted the room and replaced the lamp shades. She is calling this Phase 1, and here is a little before and after in progress…
Before:
Afters in Progress:
Melissa did an amazing paint job!! We went with Alaskan Husky by Benjamin Moore. It’s a very soothing shade of blue/gray and helps tie in the warm woods and neutral rug with the gray and white bedding. I suggested she also paint the tray ceiling, drawing your eye up. It’s a great way to take full advantage of the beautiful height in the room. We also replaced the bedside lamp shades with modern, drum shades. I love the subtle difference! We have plans to incorporate a gallery wall around her TV, to make the TV feel like art in the space. It’s a great visual trick! I am so excited to see these Phase 1 photos. To follow the progress on this space and read more about this transformation, follow her blog here!
Thanks for posting the progress Amber! I have more things in the works so hopefully "Phase 2" will be up soon! I love seeing your vision beginning to take shape!
Seeing client's progress is the best! Love the new wall color and the new lamp shades. Looking forward to see the finished room.

It's looking so good, I love the color! Can't wait to see more!
Fun to see the progress, the new color gives the room a nice soothing feel!
Love the color choice! Am looking for a similar color for our girls bath.
What an improvement already! Great job!
Loving the new wall color.
Painting that tray was clever, clever. The room looks twice as large. M.
That grey is so restful and so pretty
