Master Bedroom Re-do: A Coastal Feel

 Tim will be the first one to point out that I can't go a month without a home project.  It's sorta true.  Call it my guilty pleasure, call it "keeping busy", but I enjoy sprucing up the house from time to time.  With our old house, we waited until we were going to sell it to do any updates, and it would have been nice to live with those updates first!  So even though I plan to be in this house for a long, long time, I want to enjoy the nice changes now.  
Our bedroom has been a point of contention for me, because of two reasons:  (1) I painted it dark gray/blue and it felt like a cave and (2) it was only one of two rooms left with wood colored trim.  I wanted to go lighter and brighter.  Tim was very against white because it made him feel like a renter, but I convinced him to try Hushed White by Behr.  Two coats later, and it had the slight yellow tinge of a room full of smokers (see above).  Neither of us like it.  So we decided to go in the light gray direction and I found Dolphin Fin by Behr.  My new favorite gray!  It looks amaaaaazing with the new bright white trim and is neutral enough for my beachy coastal bedroom vibe.

 The new gray color!  LOVE it!  We updated from roller blinds to white 2-inch faux wood blinds to match the downstairs.  I fell in love with these curtains from Target called "Blue Dot"--they are a darker blue with aqua dots that criss cross in a lattice pattern.  The aqua dots almost look like bubbles under water.  Target doesn't like to restock often, so I ordered 3 more panels online and hit a sale!  Score!  We also updated the ceiling fan to a more modern one with chrome and medium wood blades.

 I wanted a bed set that would blend with the room and not compete with Carrie's sealife quilt at the end of the bed.  And I didn't want anything too matchy-matchy with the curtains.  I found this quilt set with matching shams on Walmart.com for only $47 on rollback!  It's "seafoam green" which was the perfect muted aqua color.

 Found this lantern at Hobby Lobby and had to have it!  I put a candle in it and secured it to a $6 iron hanger, also from Hobby Lobby.

 I moved around some of the artwork, and a "sailboat in the storm" painting that Carrie had bought me (done by my friend Melissa Riker) fits perfectly!  I liked a watercolor of coral from Etsy but at $20, it was ridiculous to pay for such a small painting.  I showed it to Caroline, who whipped me up a copy in about 15 minutes!  And I like her version soooooo much better!

 The wall color and trim look so good with the darker furniture now!
