I decided my bedroom needed a small refresh, and my goal was to do it with only a couple of new pieces! I needed a new mattress, bed and nightstands. I knew with those three items alone, they could make a huge change to my master bedroom!
To start this refresh, I began with the essential part of any bedroom - the bed and mattress! I’ve have the same bed and mattress for almost nine years. My old mattress was causing my back to ache, so I knew I wanted a firmer mattress. BedInABox was the answer! I’ve been sleeping on my new BedInABox mattress for about a month now, and I can honestly say that my body feels more rested!
We have the Tranquillium in king size, and I love the 12", multilayer firm, foam construction. It makes such a difference in my sleep! And to save money - use code NISSALYNN20 for an additional $20 off! #ad
My prior bed was a well loved four poster bed that I bought at Goodwill. We brought it home and my husband replaced a couple of the slats and spray painted it in satin white. Then I distressed it with sand paper to make it look shabby chic. I loved it! (It’s so amazing what you can do with spray paint!) But over the last year, the bed has shown significant wear and tear, and the wood frame started to break - so it was time for a new one.
The traditional four poster bed was so large, that it seemed take over our entire bedroom, plus the poles were the first thing you noticed when you walked into the room. I decided I wanted a French country bed with a large tufted headboard. The Realyn King Panel bed from Living Spaces was the answer!
I need to tell you about Living Spaces, because it is a furniture store unlike any other! In my local Living Spaces store, in Frisco, Texas, they have four, 2000 sq ft homes built inside the store to showcase their beautiful furniture. This also helps give you decorating and furniture placement ideas. Such a great concept!
After changing up the bed and mattress, new nightstands were next. I wanted to mix styles and add more of a modern looking nightstand to go along with the French bed, so I ordered two night stands from the Presby collection at Living Spaces. The Presby nightstands are great because they have lots of storage and an USB outlet. Plus, I love the pull out piece to hold my lap top. I highly recommend them!
I kept the same bedding and accessories but moved the decorative bench from my office and placed it at the foot of my bed. I also moved my ginger jars from living room to the nightstands.
Don’t be afraid to move accessories or accent furniture in your home. It can give a space new life and save you money!
So remember, next time you want to redo a room, you don’t have to change everything, just change a couple pieces and then that room will take on a completely new look!
