Window Treatments for the Master Bedroom

Life just seems to have gotten busier and busier lately, so there hasn’t been a whole lotta renovatin’ goin’ on in the master bedroom.

That being said, this is what looked like just a mere month ago…

…and here’s a shot of that same wall, today…

(still gotta work on the closet doors and install crown & baseboard molding around the rest of the room)

So we have made some progress in there!

The curtains are from Ikea. They’re called Lenda, and they were just $24.99 for the pair. You can’t see it ’cause I didn’t take a close-up pic, but they’ve got a really neat little embroidered, vertical stripe detail in them. (I’ll have to remember to snap a pic of it next time.)

The white panels closest to the windows were ones I already owned, and the double rod came from Wal-mart. ($37.69, on sale from $44.69) We’ve never done the whole “double rod thing” before- but since we only have one window to dress in here, we decided to get wild and crazy this time.

The shades are from Bed, Bath & Beyonce Beyond and they were just $9.99 on clearance.

The antique nightstands are from our friend Mary at Urban Farmgirl, and we absolutely love them! Kev’s is already outfitted with some snazzy little knobs…

…but we’ve still gotta get some for mine…

And then we’ll have to really start thinkin’ about what we’re gonna do for a headboard/bed. And let me tell ya, we are re-he-heally excited about the thought of sleeping on something other than a mattress on the floor. It’s been almost three years now, and now that the room is finally coming together, I couldn’t resist having a little fun “imagining” for a minute today…

We’ve been collecting all of our bedding elements over the past couple years, and some of it has been neatly folded and stacked on a shelf in my closet, just waiting for a nice, comfy bed to cover. I can. not. wait to pull it all out and finally use it!

All the colorful, stripe-y, quilt-y stuff is from Pottery Barn’s “Clearlake” collection…

The shams are reversible, and I’m cuckoo for cocoa puffs about both sides…

My Mom also got us PB’s Matine Toile quilt and shams for our birthday’s this year…

…so it’ll be fun to switch things up throughout the year.

But enough about the bedding- we’ve got a bed to build or buy! (Or find at a flea market or on Craigslist!)

You helped us choose our wall color (Hip hip hooray for Sherwin Williams “Blue Hubbard”!), so the next big question we’ve got for ya is: what color/finish would you go with on the headboard/bed?

White?

Something natural/textural/woven?

Something metal?

A medium-toned wood?

A dark-toned wood?

Something else?

We’ve got a couple of ideas that we’re leaning towards- but ya know we always like to hear what our friends are thinkin’ too!

        Because everything in the room is square and boxy, I would make the headboard fluid and shapely, queenly: scrolling up to a high point, and I would make it an offshoot of white/pink/blue (the palest of pales), with a border of some sort that pulls lots of colors together, sort of like a rag rug effect. I love your eye! Can’t WAIT to see what you come up with.

Love the bed selections and the curtains. The room is really coming along.

The one bed that I think would work the best for us and not collect so much crap under the bed would be the one with the basket cubbies, where is that one from to get a better idea of how to make it?

Thanks!

I just built the first one for my own bedroom. Still needs to be painted, but we love it!! We were also mattress-on-the-floor people for about the same amount of time. Since I built the PB-style base, my hubby’s back pain has gone away.

      Well, my response is the same on this one actually: because it’s a FULL-SIZED bed! Not only would we not be able to get comfortable all night long- but my joints would probably be completely locked up by morning. That bed is definitely meant for one guest!

Wow! I can’t decide which looks better – the walls or the floor. Great transformation! I like an antique-y iron bed or a headboard made of old shutters. Our bedroom is the least “finished” room in the house – hopefully we’ll get there soon. Can’t wait to see what you guys decide!

Hmm. I’m thinking a darkish metal. It would tie in w/the curtain rods and provide a little contrast (don’t decorators say that it “grounds the room”), but the small metal frame would still be airy enough for the open feel you have going in there, while dark wood might be too heavy for the room. I’m sure what ever you choose will be gorg. but that’s my 2 cents, since you asked. Love how it is coming together!

I think slipcovered. I have a Pottery Barn slipcovered headboard in the guest room and it is super cozy. We have two metal beds and I would never buy one again. So uncomfortable when you are trying to read in bed. Even with pillows behind your back the bars jab through or the pillow falls through the cracks. Your progress looks so good!

I know whatever you two decide will be great. I’m with you on being excited about having a real bed — we’ve been “transitioning” from Colorado to the PNW for a year and a half now, traveling back and forth for the first year. We finally bought a fixer upper right on the beach, but until it’s habitable we are camped out in a postage stamp sized apartment over a market in China Town! We have a fold out sofa in the living room, and a mattress on the floor in the bedroom! This summer our youngest was home from college, and we were all crammed in here together (with a 75 pound dog and a cat). All of our stuff is in storage, and I’m dying to nest again! (and use a dresser with drawers, and not a stack of milk crates)

Your bedroom is going to be fabulous — can’t wait to see how you finish it up!

Congrats on the return of skivvie-dom… and I love the bedding, colors, and the nightstands. And call me crazy, but I like the idea of a bed with a wood finish! Maybe because my 90 year old Mother has just given me 4 HUGE pieces of antique wood furniture and made me swear on the bible that I won’t paint it!

I say metal. A great vintage-y metal bed would look fabulous with the walls and colors and bedding. I did my daughter’s room last year in white and cream and pale turquoise and found a great antique iron bed, which I painted cream. I LOVE it. More than she does, actually.

I say metal also… maybe like tin. Something with a fun design punched into it maybe, since it looks like your bed will be in front of the window… maybe light could shine through a punched-out pattern in the headboard??

Either tin… or something else that lets the light come through it. I don’t know of any that you can buy… but since you and Kevin can make just about anything, I bet you could make something like that?!

I hear you on things getting busier and busier though. I’m pretty convinced that with the time change there are now 23 hours in a day. Have fun finishing up your master bedroom!

I love the metal headboards just like the one you have pictured, in front of the window. Or maybe even painted metal, but lightness of the open iron headboard won’t take anything away from your gorgeous window!

Reply
Ashley says:
Nov 9, 2010 at 1:14 am
I just have one more idea I promise… maybe you could hang something (like stained glass.. or clear frosted looking glass for example) in front of the window as a sort of “fake headboard”… and just use a low headboard below that?! I’m not really sure how to pull any of these ideas off in real life though. It’s sort of like architecture school… designing buildings that cannot possibly stand up to gravity’s test, but it is fun to dream!

Since you guys absolutely have the skills, I am suggesting that you build the Farmhouse Bed (http://ana-white.com/category/plans/plancollections/farmhouse-beds) from Ana White’s site. It’s kind of chunky and you could paint or stain it. (I just read over some of the other comments and see lots of others are suggesting the same thing!)

First, I love the “dork” shirt….where’d you get it?

Now, about the bed. If it was mine, I would go for something dark and natural/woven. You need to break up all the lightness of the room and I think a nice big, dark, comfy bed would be inviting. I love the bed with the baskets under it, but I had a friend with a similar style and she said they don’t stay comfortable for long. It’s more of a spare bedroom kind of bed. Metal, I wouldn’t do EVER!! Metal creaks after a while and nothing worse to me then a creaky bed!!!

Your bedroom is really coming together~ wow, quite a difference from before to after!! I honestly don’t have an opinion of a headboard…I have never had one, not since I was a little girl, I had a great white caned antique one that I would kill to have now!! I’ve always just had my mattress on a metal frame. I would love to have a headboard made out of an old door or something….

My own style is iron beds all the way (this is my current bed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/annabelvita/4878428221/in/photostream/ (ignore horrid clutter, I’ve moved house since then) and here is the white iron and brass one at my mother’s house http://www.flickr.com/photos/annabelvita/5020360032/ )
For your bedroom I think something like the white one in the picture could be great. I think with the wooden walls it could look like an amazing built in, almost boat like. I’d love that. You could distress it to be just like the bedside tables.

So, when you are imagining this room completed does it include a child cuddled up between you?!

The room looks fantastic so far. I’m not seeing the stripes in the curtains even when I go to the site and enlarge. I must be going blind. Deciding on a bed is a challenge with so many beautiful options. I’d just ask my friend Layla’s opinion.

I love that first bed, too! Thanks for the lead on a build-it-yourself option.

I’d vote a medium-toned wood. There’s white in the wall and the bedside chests, so I’d shy from white because the headboard would disappear. The woven option is about the same color as a medium wood, but I feel the texture is too much given the patchwork of some of the bedding options. I don’t think metal would provide the grounding the bedding needs, and dark wood, for me, would be too harsh a contrast.

If you wanted more texture maybe barn board or driftwood?

I have a simple black metal bed we bought almost 20 years ago and, although my decorating style has changed pretty drastically over those years (think country to modern), it’s one of the pieces in my house I still love every time I see it. There’s something timeless about it. But, I know whatever you choose will look fantastic. Love those side tables.

I have to say, I LOVE the medium-toned sleigh bed! And my second favorite is the woven headboard! Last year I had my husband build me the PB Stratton bed (first picture) and I LOVED it. But I honestly missed having a headboard. So currently we have one similar to the dark-toned picture and my PB look-a-like sits in storage until I change my mind again. So my vote is the medium-toned sleigh bed!

My vote is for the metal bed…not too bulky in front of the window, but provides another texture and deep color. Second choice is the lighter wood bed. Gives the same color feel as the seagrass, and adds texture, but isn’t as beachy looking and would transition to different looks easier. Whatever you go with, it will end up looking great, as usual!

I’m loving that room already! My first inclination was towards an old iron or brass bed (I have one myself and love it), but on second peep I think the medium toned wood bed would look best in your room with your bedding, floor, wall color, etc. That’s my two cents.
I sure wish you were closer to me as I saw some beeeautiful old beds at a junk store here this past weekend!

wow. love the wood walls and flooring. as for the bed — maybe you would love what we did. we have a white iron bed with gold accents. we have a poofy coverlet like yours and without our footboard the whole set would fall off the end of the bed during the night. so my thoughts are — iron bed works great in front of a window since you don’t want to block the light and a bed with a footboard to keep the covers in place.

can’t wait for the big reveal.

Normally I’m a fan of mixing a dark wood tone with an otherwise light and airy palette because I think it gives it nice contrast. However, since you have a wood floor and a wood tone on the shades, I think the addition of a third wood tone would be too much. SO, my vote is for a vintage looking wrought iron bed, preferably in white. (Though a red or pale blue would be pretty too!)

It’s all looking really so good! Can’t wait to see more pics!

It’s all looking lovely, Layla. I would go for either metal, natural or medium wood. Those would all work beautifully with what you have going on already. I’m partial to dark woods, but it might be a little overwhelming in that space. I’m sure whatever you do will look fantastic.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! i just cant get over how some painted wooden planks across a wall can make a room feel so gorgeously cottage-y and cosy and add soooo much character!!
i reckon that a black metal bed frame (along the lines of the Lillesand model from IKEA) would work beautifully in your room! i think it would tie in with your curtain rod and would be a lovely contrast against the white plank walls PLUS it wont block any light getting into through the windows-and that style of bed is really cottagey!! i have the exact same curtains for my own hse-they are fantastic and add lovely texture to the room. ooooh i cannot WAIT to see the big reveal!! PS You both look fantastic in your new photos, such a lovely happy fun couple.

Hi Kevin & Layla!

I’ve been following along with your recent tweets & just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. I hope you guys never change no matter how big you get! I appreciate you both just as you are. It’s amazing that there is always someone out there waiting to steal the thunder of another. Keep on keeping on & “to thine own-self be true.” Otherwise, what’s the point? Looking forward to watching TLC & you both grow & evolve thru the years to come. Life’s too short to worry about ending sentences with prepositions, etc.

XOXO

I think if this were my bedroom, I would never ever leave. I love everything you’ve done (as always).
You’ve got such an eye. And those little tables are STUNNING!
I would go with something light for the headboard to keep the dreaminess of the room. OR metal – I love the contrast between a cottage and industrial feel!
But I know you will find just the perfect thing and then I will say to myself “why didn’t I think of that?” I do that a lot when reading your blog

Metal! With all the great natural textures you’ve got going on (wood, cotton, etc), I think you’d benefit from the contrast of the metal. The thinness of the type in your photo would keep it simple and not too clunky.

imho: if you’re gonna put the bed in front of the window, i would go for an iron/metal headboard to keep it open and airy and to keep from blocking the window view. you could always build/buy the pottery barn base with the baskets if you wanted more storage. currently we have a metal headboard that i picked up for uber-cheap on clearance at a furniture store (all scratched up and no matching footboard). i primed & painted it creamy white and antiqued it with brown stain. this winter we’re planning on building the “stratton” pb bed w/baskets (plans from anna white). anyway…can’t wait to see whatcha’ll pick out. cheers!

I don’t go for woven ones because they can get damaged easily AND they are a buggar to dust! Cleaning wood or white is easy, but that woven stuff gets dusty bits all in the cracks. I love the texture, but I ended up getting rid of my similar decor items that were woven because they don’t stay fresh and pretty long. ESP if you have a pet.

LOVE your site! I vote for the anitiquey metal headboard. You don’t want to block the window behind you too much and weigh down the room with too much bulk from a wooden headboard. Plus with your darker window shades I think there would be too much dark in front of the window. Metal it is!!!

Seeing yours all put together, makes me think hummmmmmmm….!

My husband and I have a similar looking bedroom and we have the Lillesand bed from Ikea. I LOVE how it looks – very clean and crisp. We dress it in fairly simple bedding…no bedskirt, so it really looks light and airy. Here is a review on Apartment Therapy (one of the main reasons we ended up getting it!):
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/beds-mattresses/lillesand-tall-bed-frame-from-ikea-053645
You can’t beat the price either! I noticed a few of the other posters didn’t think a metal bed was comfortable, but I haven’t found that to be true. To be fair, we don’t do a lot of reading or watching tv in our bed, so that may be why.

I LOVE the sisal/wicker look for a headboard but haven’t found an affordable king sized version for us. That said, I like the idea of a wood toned something for your room to contrast the white a bit. Nothing dramatic, just a light or medium toned woven or wood. How exciting to be closing in on your finished room!

Loving the window dressing you all came up with. Don’t you just love IKEA! Great prices for stuff. I just had my husband buy us some curtains from there as well. I have six windows to cover with double panels so, I needed them to be at a good price.

I think with all your light colored and washed finishes you all have going, it would be nice to see maybe a linen covered headboard or a textural type headboard. As much as I would love to suggest an iron bed; I don’t think that would be the right choice if you like to read in bed. Trust me, we have an iron one and it’s not fun trying to get the pillows just so so you can read in bed.

Whatever you all decide it will look lovely….just as lovely as the rest of your home.

Love all the improvements you have made in your master. I like the idea of bringing a softer look by bringing an upholstered headboard in a camel/taupe color, and it is something that you can DIY cheaply and make changes to it if your decor changes. Another idea might be a head board made out of chippy shutters. Possibly bringing in the same secondary color that is on the nightstand. I am new to your blog and loving it, the icing on the cake is that you are a fellow transplanted Minnesota girl that loves her roots (I also grew up on a farm, with Mankato being the it town for fun).

I am totally nuts for dark wood but it might look too “heavy” in your space. I think you should do the natural/textured look or a soft microsuede upholstered headboard. It will break up the visual effect from your walls and bedding. Good luck and I can’t wait to scope out the final product!

For the headboard I think woven or a distressed medium toned wood would look best in your room. I typically like distressed white furniture, but the walls in my house are usually painted in colors I love, so the white pops on them better than it would on a white wall. I have been drooling over PB’s Caroline bed for awhile now. Hoping it goes on sale sometime, so I can actually afford it.

Love the look! I highly recommend the LILLESAND bed frame from IKEA.

But the bonus was, we were able to bring home the queen sized mattress, bed base, and frame with our Honda CRV all by ourselves. Best price, great foam mattress, and no waiting for it to be delivered.

Your room is coming along so nicely! It’s going to be GORgeous when it’s done! And I definitely have to go check out those IKEA drapes. I’ve been craving some linen-y things for my house!

As for beds: I have that same PB sleigh bed in my inspiration file, so I clearly love that. But I think that having one signature wood piece in an otherwise write room is a great option — so warm and inviting. And a bed like that will last a lifetime. Seagrass is very cool, but will you love it in a few years? Will it stand up to wear? As for metal, I’ve owned (and since sold) a metal bed. They’re so charming, but they’re not that great to live with. The pillows are always falling out the back and they’re uncomfortable to sit up/read in. But some poeple love them, so there you go.

Love everything you do!

Hubby and I went on a road trip to Ikea and purchased the curtains you shared. Awesome fabric and we will be hemming them today…now we await to rods from Walmart.
