Break has officially begun, and this girl is LOVING not having to worry about homework. And we all know what no homework means...time for house projects! I was really excited because several of our rooms are in their final stages of completion, and I had planned to conquer them all over break. Until Crate & Barrel had their amazing sale.
One of our rooms that was about 90% done was our master bedroom. We went with a simple color palette: black & white with pops of turquoise and green. I made a headboard, refinished a bunch of furniture, and we were well on our way to a finished room.
Here is our original inspiration board:
And this is how the room was shaping up:
Ever since we bought our new mattress in September, it's been loving its home on the floor. We didn't buy a box spring because we both knew we wanted to get a platform bed, and we upgraded our size, so we didn't have any sort of frame for it to sit on. So alas, the past 3 months of our life we've been sleeping on the floor.
I've been searching non-stop for a base for our bed, and even contemplated making one since we wanted a simple design. I was hoping for something like this but without drawers.
However, everything I found I thought was either too expensive for being so simple, or too cheap to be even remotely good quality. So I was stuck. Until Crate & Barrel came along.
I adore Crate & Barrel...hands down it is one of my favorite stores, so when I heard about their sale (40% off sale furniture? yes please), I was there in a heartbeat. Well, as it turns out, not only did we find a bed we liked, we bought it. And we couldn't be more excited. The only problem: it's brown. And it has a headboard. And is a completely different style than what our room currently is. Basically, as far as the design of our bedroom goes, we have to start over. But guess what? Not only am I fine with it, I am ecstatic.
I'm so proud of the new design, and I can't wait to share it with you...on Wednesday. :)

All we had left to do was hang some artwork and pictures, do a little accessorizing, and buy a base for our bed. Yeah, that's right, I cheated in the picture. I wanted a picture showing how it would look, so we propped the mattress up on 5 gallon buckets.

I love C&B too! I'm excited to see the new direction you're taking.
