The past 30 days have FLOWN by as I have been working hard to complete our Master Bedroom Makeover for the Jo-Ann and HGTV HOME™ Magic with Fabric & Trim challenge. It’s been a whirlwind of activity, but SO much fun too!!! I have loved seeing my room transform every day into something new.
You see, with three teenagers in the house, sometimes things get a little LOUD and CRAZY around here. I wanted to make a space that was is a peaceful retreat for my husband and I. So we kept the bed in the same place, but we added a little office nook and also a little place where we can relax and read a book. Now we have a room which is so calm and pretty and useful!
It’s my favorite room in the house. I wake up in the morning and want to spend the morning checking email and working at the little office nook.
Here’s what the room looked like before – kind of dark and dreary.
One of my favorite projects I created was different slipcovers for the headboard. So I can switch them out during the year.
My husband and I also made the Board and Batten wall which I think really brightened up the room. A tutorial will be coming up with some tips to save you time if you want to do this in YOUR home! And we also made a DIY Knock Off ZGallerie/Restoration Orb Chandelier!
I also learned how to make corded pillows – which weren’t as hard as I had imagined! And I made a striped duvet cover, using two of the HGTV fabrics and cording around that too!
Another favorite part of the room is the gallery wall with pictures of our family. I mounted the pictures on HGTV Fabric and framed them to hang on the wall.
We also made a X-Bench for the end of our bed. A tutorial will be coming up soon!
We turned a nook in the room which we never used into a bright and useful office area.
Now this is my favorite place to sit in the mornings. Our home also overlooks my kids’ elementary school so I can see the kids playing as I work and the mountain views!
I also painted and upholstered this oversized chair for the space! I love how the fabric ties in with the table and rug in the space.
I also made some no-sew curtains for the nook! I used the pre-ruffled trim from the HGTV Home Magic Line on the curtains and Stitch Witchery to hold the seams and the trim onto the curtains! A tutorial will be coming up on how to make these.
And the third part of the room is a little corner which I never knew what to do with. We decided to turn it into a little lounging area where we can read a book or just relax.
Shelley from House of Smiths helped me put up this Herringbone Wall for the space! Isn’t it cool? I’ll be sharing more details about how to create this wall on Monday. You can check out the vinyl in her shop.
I love laying on this little settee with the door to our deck open in the evenings. It’s a great place to unwind and my husband loves taking Sunday naps here. Our dog has decided that this is the comfiest place in the house – ha!
Thank you so much JoAnn Stores for inviting me to be part of this challenge. This has been such a great experience!! You can find the HGTV line of fabric at Jo-Ann Stores. I love the fabric and this challenge was just what I needed to motivate my to FINALLY tackle my room!
You can find out all about the #HGTVHomeMagic challenge at the Jo-Ann HGTV Home Website.
Be sure to check out the other room reveals! They’re amazing!

Ally Lott says
I have gone around and around in circles looking for the floral fabric source, and cannot find it. I realize that it’s from the HGTV line, but there are no links to the fabric, and searching for it hasn’t worked either. Help?
Rhonda says
I love everything about this room: the color, patterns….plants on the wall and….I can’t forget your adorable dog! (so cute) I will check out the tutorial for the light fixture next.
Melissa Johnson says
Can you please tell me the blue paint color you used? I just did a grey room with white and grey stripes and need to find a good blue that will go with it in my kitchen or another room?

Dannyelle @ www.lifeisaparty.ca says
Jen, I love how your room turned out. My favs are the bench -can’t wait to see how you did it, and the chevron wall, so pretty. I’ve pretty much ignored my bedroom since I moved in, you’re inspiring me to give it a little attention. 😉
Jen says
Thanks Dannyelle!!
I am hoping to get a tutorial up on the bench this week. I really love it. I wanted to bring something into the room with a little masculine flair so my husband didn’t feel surrounded by girlish things LOL!!
Good luck with your room!
xoxo

keren says
JEN!!!! It is absolutely BREATHTAKING !! I adore that main wall!!! I cant stop staring at it!! lol
Natalie says
Hey Jen!
Would you be willing to tell me the paint color you used on the herringbone wall? I love it!
Jennifer says
This makeover is amazing! I think the biggest transformation is where you have the desk area now. What a great utilization of space and I love how you pulled the fabrics together on the chair and your bed pillows. I might have to use these colors for inspiration in my master bedroom. I was wondering where you found your throw blankets? I saw a yellow and a blue one that look so cozy. Congratulations again!
Jean Stringfellow says
You did an awesome job. I love it too! The color combinations are so professional. You are terrific!

Your master bedroom turned out beautifully Jen!! I love so many things about the space, but the office nook & that herringbone wall are my favorites!! The whole room is just GORGEOUS! You did an amazing job!!
Did you build the desk for the office or purchase it somewhere?
Deb says
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Great mix of colors and patterns. I’m a bright girl myself and am so inspired by what you’ve done here. What a great desk you have too…love the table vs a desk. When my PB desk is ready to retire I need to remember this look!

Heather Ferguson says
Jen, this room is so gorgeous! I did my master bedroom in a darker teal with coral and yellow last fall, and I am still so enamored with that color combination. Do you mind sharing what the paint color is on your walls? I’m shopping around for a nice, soft turquoise and think your color is beautiful. Thanks!
Krista @ the happy housie says
I love everything about your bedroom makeover Jen – the colour scheme, the panelled wall, the herringbone painted wall… your headboard, gallery walls…. desk area. I could go on and on but instead I am going to go do some serious pinning. Amazing makeover!!
Dria says
Wow you did a beautiful job! I love the slip cover on the headboard that is genius!! So loving that rug under your desk and how can you not love your dog too cute! You did an incredible job, totally inspired now : )
Katie says
Jen I am so impressed with all of your hard work. I love the idea of putting a slipcover over the headboard to change throughout the year, it’s genius. I also am in love with your desk. Did you make it? Also, congratulations on your five years with blogging. I’d love to be where you are in five years!
Julie @ Being Home says
Love the wall color and board and batten. Lots of lovely colors throughout the room and the desk is gorgeous. Totally lovin’ that nook area. 🙂
Well done! 😀
Manda Wolf says
Very pretty, I really love the wall behind the head board. The rug is awesome in the nook area. Your staging is outstanding. And your puppy is super cute.
Kyra says
Love it! My bedroom desperately needs some help! What is the paint color on your walls?! I cannot even begin to describe how fabulous that turquoise desk is either…did you make it?!
Marty Walden says
Amazing. Just love how large the room is and the way each area has a function but it’s all beautiful! Wow.

Hello,
I was curious where you got the turquoise wood table?
Thanks!

Regina L says
I love it! I was wondering if you use the dresser that is behind the chaise? I have a similiar thing n wondering if it would work?
Melissa G says
Love it all! I think the desk area might be my favorite! Your color choices are fabulous. Just so bright!! Love everything…until you mention House of Smiths. Used to visit her blog until she was forever complaining about how busy she was with her blog. Welcome to the real world!!
Love your blog and positive ness!
Sarah says

Have a great weekend.

Janet Tiong says
Wow! I like the color tone and the gallery wall!
Shelly says
LOVING THIS ROOM!!! The colors are pretty and soothing. I’m super jealous of all the space you have! Dividing it up into separate zones makes all of that space so functional. I’m torn between the fabulous orb light and that herringbone wall as to which is my favorite part. Amazing job, Jen!
Tauni says
Oh Jen, your room looks just amazing. I am still in love with that fun table and the light…wow! I am so lucky to have such a crazy talented and amazing friend.

It’s beautiful Jen! The colors and patterns all look so pretty together. I love all the little “spaces” you put together, it seems like such a homey room now. Fabulous job!
Jen says
Thanks Bev!!! I really wanted to create a space that was colorful AND relaxing. I think my husband loves it 🙂

Maggie Hamlin says
I will admit, when I was seeing the previews to this post I wasn’t sure about how all these colors would come together, but i was completely and totally wrong! I totally love how all these colors compliment each other in this space! It makes me want to rethink my color scheme to match! It looks like a happy and blissful place and yet relaxing as well! My favorite spot has to be the lounging area! Kudos! I bow down to the greatness of this room and your talents!
Jen says
Thanks Maggie!! That seriously means so much to me!!! I really do love this room now.
xoxo

I LOVE that desk. I think you listed that as the table from Downeast, but I wanted to make sure. I’ve been looking for something like that.
Jen says
Hi Penny!!
Yes, the desk/table is from Downeast. That place is amazing!
xoxo
Bonnie Bradley says
what is Downeast? I am in love with the desk… 🙂 The room is so pretty!
Gina says
Okay- one- I love it. Two- here I am drooling over that wall & then I scroll to the herringbone. OH I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I have a thing for herringbone. Turned out great. The computer space is great too- I turned a similar nook in our bedroom space into my office when we downsized & I lost my actual full office. Works out quite well doesn’t it?!
Jen says
Thanks Gina! I never thought I would have an office in my bedroom but I just love it now!
xxo
Shelley says
It’s so pretty!!! The colors are perfect, and I love how it’s all coordinating, but not too over the top. Very designer looking, LOVELY!!!

Thanks Shelley!!! That was just what I was going for. yay!!!

MIchaele Sommerville says
Wow Jen- you did a great job combining the different patterns- I LOVE the floral, but really appreciate how none of it is overkill. Light, happy, relaxing, feminine, but not froo froo. My husband might actually like a bedroom makeover like this one!
Michaele
Jen says
Thanks so much Michaele!!
I really wanted the space to reflect my style but still be a space that my husband wanted to use and felt like was his too. Your comments means so much to me!
