Master Bedroom Inspiration

I hope everyone is having a great week!  I have been making a lot of progress decorating and making my new house feel like home since we have moved in.  I need to take some time and take pictures for y'all when I get home this next week.  The downstairs is pretty much almost done.  I need to paint, make drapes, pillows, and fix up our foyer, but overall it is comfortable and liveable for me.  I feel a lot less stress about trying to get this room together since it is almost there in my eyes.  (I know it's silly to stress over decorating my house, but it is something very important to me and I just stress myself on it for no reason)  The painting and drapes will probably not be done until after Christmas because I really don't want to take on too much right now with the holidays coming up.  I would really like to get my foyer done in the next month, but it will depend on my husband and FIL's schedule since I am planning to add beadboard, hooks, and maybe a shelf.  So, all that said...I am turning my attention to the upstairs of my home.  It is definitely neglected compared to the downstairs.  My sewing room is well on it's way, but my bedroom, master bath, hallway, and upstairs bath need attention.  The upstairs bath is almost there and only needs some decor items and paint (again going to probably wait on that).  The hallway is a matter of painting and a project that I am planning to post on in the future.  Now I am really turning my attention to our bedroom.

The color scheme that I have been using is Seafoam Green, Chocolate Brown, and Beige.  I really want our room to be a soothing retreat.  While most of my home has touches of oil rubbed bronze, gold, and warm shades, this room is a total deviation from what I usually am drawn to.  I love the look of cool shades and less "stuff", but I have a hard time actually decorating in this way.  My mind naturally is drawn to that warm, cozy, traditonal look.  I have had no problem decorating the rest of home (other than having to wait for money to come in so I can fund my ideas! haha!)  So,  earlier this week, I went to Hobby Lobby to browse for things to go in this room.  Maybe it is also the lack of items in silver tones and cool colors out there too, but I couldn't find anything.  I will revise...I found about $60 worth of items for the rest of my home, but nothing for the master bedroom.  So, I turned to Pinterest to get some inspiration for what I want.  Right now, I am really pulling inspiration from there, and from Ashley at Our Happily Ever Afters.  She is very drawn to neutrals, and has great style.  I have actually found a lot of my inspiration from her for the rest of my home too.  Go watch her home tour videos on her site.  I have watched them about 3 or 4 times because her style inspires me so much!  Without further ado, my inspiration pictures from Pinterest. 

This really shows the shades we are going with in the room.  I am using touches of silver instead of gold though.



If I could have this room, this is what I would put in our home.  The only differences are that I am planning a bit more chocolate brown than this.  I also love the prints in the room!


This room is much more electic than what I am going for, but I love the way the nightstand is decorated.  This gave me the idea of putting some prints above the nightstand. 
 

This is darker than what I am planning, but I love the crystal lamps and the look of the bed linens.


I am also planning to do a set of prints of Savannah in black and white.  It is our home and where my heart will always be tied.  I am planning to look around on etsy for some prints to do this.  The following are some that I could love to have. 


I hope you have a happy rest of the week and weekend.  I am going home tomorrow!  Please pray for me to have safe travels.  I am going to enjoy this weekend back home with my family, so I don't plan to blog until at least Monday.
