House Updates: Master Bedroom

House updates in our new Utah house are long overdue. We've been hard at work on things here... just haven't been sharing. We stayed home for Thanksgiving break so I decided we should work on a room that we hadn't touched yet... our master bedroom. We didn't even have a headboard. It felt like a college apartment. Much better now!

We got the lights at Lowes and TJ made the headboard out of a 10 foot board cut in half (to make 2 pieces the same length). We then stained, sealed, and attached it to the wall with some mounting hardware meant for picture frames. He also made the nightstands before we left Indiana. Luckily they survived the move.

Here's the before... we had some interesting off-white textured wallpaper to deal with. We took it down on one wall but decided to make the other our accent wall. The blue is Glidden "Rich Navy" and it took just 2 coats. Now it looks like navy blue textured wallpaper.

Utah House Before

We have been in our new house about 6 weeks and the place is shaping up. The beauty was built in 1964 and it shows. We have some major reno ahead of us - namely the master bath and the kitchen, but a few of the living spaces have really come together. Before pictures below, in progress pictures coming soon.

36 ft. long patio:

The kitchen is a real gem:

But you just can't beat the view. :-)
