our cozy peach bedroom (reveal)



May 7, 2014

We now have a few key elements in place in our bedroom, which means it’s reveal time. Our bedroom is tiny at about 10′ by 10′. It’s big enough for a queen sized bed and small nightstands, that’s about it, folks.

In my opinion, the bedroom only needs to function for two things, sleeping and dressing. Well our bedroom fits a queen size bed perfectly, and the closet (almost as big as the bedroom!) has plenty of room for clothes, storage and dressing.

The wall color is Ecru by Benjamin Moore – and it’s just perfect. It can appear white, but has a pretty peach tint that makes you feel all cozy and cocoon like.

The brass lamp bases were a garage sale find last summer ($3 for the pair!). This season we will be hunting for matching nightstands, with drawers for storage, and I’d love to find an inexpensive platform bed with more storage underneath. I wouldn’t be opposed to fresh new bedding either, or at least a new throw pillow, or two.

Our curtains were another smart move (if I do say so). We bought the fabric to use as tablecloths for my bridal shower, much like the headboard fabric. Love it when things can be used twice!

    I LOVE your headboard! Looks great with the peach, too. Peach and grey together isn't a combination I would have thought of but I really really like it. I live in an old house, so our master bedroom is pretty small, too! I'd hate to try to get much more than our double in it.

    P.S. Found you at Alt on Topic!

      Lauren, thanks for stopping by! I know I feel kind of sill calling such a small bedroom a 'master' – but I would rather a tiny master in a house with character any day!
