Master Bedroom Makeover

August 4, 2014

Master bedroom makeover in the 1740 saltbox.
master bedroom makeover
We’ve lived in this house for one year now and the master bedroom makeover is complete.
master bedroom mls before picture
This before picture is taken from the MLS listing posted online and is exactly how the room was when we saw the house for the first time.
master bedroom after
And now.  I guess I like things simple.
I made the poster bed, details and link to plans here.

antique nightstand master bedroom
The matching nightstands (with missing vertical side moulding) are from a friend and date back to 1850. 
mirror with wreath
The mirrors above are inexpensive beveled rectangles with a wreath of greenery in front hung by burlap.

wood framed mirror
The full length wall mirror framed in wood is a DIY project, details here.  The door on the right leads into the dining room.
Having all these mirrors brings a lot of light into the room.

master bedroom fireplace
There is a working fireplace although we have yet to make a fire in our bedroom.  The fireplace is one of the 3 which all lead to a center chimney.

master bedroom to front foyer
The door on the right leads to the front foyer and living room.

master bedroom from dining room
And this view above is from the dining room looking into the bedroom. 
Below are a few other rooms I’ve made over so far in our home:
farmhouse kitchen makeover
Kitchen with open wood shelving and two tone painted cabinets.
farmhouse dining room
Dining room with exposed wood beams.
farmhouse mudroom makeover
The mudroom back entry area.
boys bedroom makeover
A boy bedroom makeover.
farmhouse family room makeover
The family room.

    I am in love with your bedroom! Actually, I love your entire home!!! The wood beams, and rustic doors. Your simple style really lets the architectural features of your home shine through.

    Your home has a lot of character that can not be found in newer homes like ours. I really like how you updated it and yet kept the simplicity of the era.

    Hello Jamie! I just discovered you by google searching exposing wood beams in an antique house. Everything you do is really beautiful!
    We just removed the living room ceiling in our 1723 home and are now in the process of adding sheet rock in between joists. Getting a lot of information on how to from your site. Thank you!
    Would you share your paint color (walls and trim) in your master bedroom please? Would love to use them in the living room. Thank you – Jacqui

      Hi Jacqui, great to hear from a fellow old home owner. Exposing the beams is no small task but I’m so so glad I did it (most recently here in case you missed it: https://jaimecostiglio.com/ceiling-makeover-exposed-wood-beams/
      The paint colors in the master bedroom are Benjamin Moore: walls are simply white, trim is London fog
      Good luck!!
