My room < left. Umm, I'm workin on it. Inspiration room > right. Gorgeous!!
For anyone who wants to see the master bedroom so far. It's a
work in progress...
I put up the moulding, and painted this wall yellow. Now I have to make pillows, bed skirt, and curtains. Also, get a rug, a headborad, another second night stand and maybe different lamps. Whew!!
I have a small, round pedestal table that was my mother's, to use as one of the night stands. I may keep the sewing machine cabinet in here too. Who knows.
I'm not trying to copy the room exactly, but I really liked the wall!
I'll show the WHOLE ROOM when I finish. Right now... Mmm not so pretty.
,My 3 dogs keep me company while I work. This is our little rescue dog, Krew. She was the model for the picture in my other blog.
And see that round window? I have to find some way to make it blend. I'll have to think on that one. Any suggestions? It's a major sourse of light in the room, and the moon shines in it at night. I love that!
Here's the paint color. It's called Hazelwood. I'm pretty sure it's Valspar. I showed the chip because it's one
of the kind that has a bunch of colors on one card.
BUT BE CAREFUL! THE BARCODE ON THE BACK MIXES THE WRONG COLOR WHEN SCANNED. HE HAD TO ACTUALLY COLOR MATCH THE COLOR ON THE CARD TO GET THE RIGHT COLOR. AFTER WASTING 2 GALLONS OF BRIGHT LEMON YELLOW PAINT. ON THE 3RD TRY...I GOT THE "HAZELWOOD". I'M GLAD I LOOKED FIRST!
Thanks for following along with me while I complete this project!

It looks great!!! How did you do that so fast? Are you doing this all by yourself. You go girl. My husband does our manual labor like trim.
Have you ever thought of accenting the window to make it like a starburst mirror? I think it could work well with your theme and could just be moulding applied to the wall around the window if you like the light being able to come through it. Hope this helps. michele
Your molding looks great, Kelly! I have to tell you that I get exhausted just reading about all the things you do! I like the sewing cabinet there as a night stand.
For the window, what if you made something {or painted something} around the window to do like a sunburst mirror effect? Play up the window and make it almost like art.
It looks like you are well on your way to getting your dream bedroom Kelly! You've done a great job so far and I look forward to seeing the end result. I'm sure it will be fabulous! Maybe you could install small round shutters over the window???

This room is looking fantastic so far! The molding add so much to the wall! You are very fast at getting jobs done, I wish I had your speed and energy! What I want to know is how you keep your home so clean with three dogs? Our two are more than enough to leave a fur coat on floors and furniture? Any good tips? I can only attempt white in rooms which I keep our mastiff out of!

Oh girl this is just awesome looking you have been one busy lady...Now I love the window...I have a half moon one I put sheers on with PBC piping maybe you could do that with yours...just put the sheers on to size and gather them up in the middle...Oh girl I'm terriable about explaining things...Any hoo hope you have a GREAT VD weekend my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
It's going to look so pretty. The walls are gorgeous!..Christine
I am very impressed! Great work! So, be honest, how much work was it? I am wanting to do a similar look in our master bedroom. But, I'm not sure that I'm up for it!
It will be gorgeous because everything you touch turns to gold:) Would you believe I lost my entire blog so am trying to start over...ugh!

You put me to shame...I am inching thru our master bedroom. I blame it on pharmacy school (I have 2 huge tests next week and had an awful one this morning). I was going to suggest a starbust mirror molding or replication. I think someone also suggested it...but I think if you could find the right framing..it would be divine. You have amazing abilities..I look forward to the end result Miss Speedy!
Cheers~

oh you're good! this is coming along great! witht he window, I think you should do something to make it look like a starburst too. that really would be nice!
That is beautiful. When I first looked I thought your room was the inspiration room. Great job.
What if you made a custom headboard AROUND the window. Lots of curves and really accent it? That might be really cool.

Love, love, love the yellow and the mouldings. I'm thinking the wonderful round window should appear larger and more "on purpose." What if you hung a large round frame to surround it? Maybe that's what the others mean by sunburst. ??
Your room is coming along beautifully! I love that window, too. Have you thought of using a round mirror with a great frame and just removing the mirror? Might be a nice look.
It really looks beautiful! I agree that framing out the round window would look great. Easier said than done, right?! Maybe framing it using paint somehow. Lots of help, huh? Can't wait to see whatever you do!
You are on the right path here, wow I can't believe you can do that!!~ It is going to look awesome, I love the inspiration room!
How cool is that window! The room looks so much like your inspiration photo. Great work.
I love it, it's coming along nicely.
Lovely room. I would put molding around the window - like a picture frame.
wow, it's looking great!
can't wait to see it all finished!
I think you need to put some serious moulding around that window. It will look fantastic.
Kelly, I had to jump right out of my reader to come over here and tell you how beautiful it looks. Talk about classy! Keep it up. It's gorgeous!
Fabulous job on the moulding...I love the nightstand too!
Julie
LOVE the moldings. mishelle
Wow, it is gorgeous! You are a whirlwind of projects! Wish I had you energy, drive, and creativity!
I was going to suggest a sunburst mirror for the window but I see many others already thought the same thing!
The room is gorgeous even in its work in progress state. I so wish I had the time to do these types of projects! Maybe once my daughter is a bit older, then she can help too!
Karla
Oh Kelly, it's looking beautiful! You should feel so proud of yourselves!
P.S. Love the floors!
WOw, this is amazing, I love that moulding with the yellow, nice job!
Kristin
Oh my! Makes my heart sing...to see your bedroom! You are amazing!
Kelly, it looks great! You are turning me into such a molding fan, I never knew I was that until you came along...
Ummm, I love this, I may need to copy it. This adds so much richness!
I really love your room so far! Just delicious. And I do love the arrangement on the bedside table.
I am impressed with this rapid progress and the big impact this one feature makes to your room. Truly fabulous!
It's looking great!
Kelly..this is sensational! Everything is coming together magically. At least on my side of the computer monitor. Bet it was labor-intensive. Are you putting it up by yourself? Hey, I love the circular window! To have the moon and stars at night must be a slice of heaven. Happy Valentine's!
I love the soft yellow color. It gives the room such a soothing, relaxing feel. It's turning out beautiful.
I'm lovin your room better than the inspiration room so far... Really... Yours is lighter... as in not so weighted down... Can't wait to see the rest... Oh and...
~Happy Valentines Day!

That is how wide-awake I am (and its 1:42 pm in the afternoon) I thought it was round mirror above the bed. OKAY....I must agree with the others it does require ad....dressing.
Your room is coming together beautifully Kelly.
SUPER FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!!!

Kelly, I put 'my thinking cap' on....perhaps a "ceiling medallion RIM" might work around the window.
(If you don't know what I mean, do a websearch. They come in numerous designs,price range and fabrications.)
Hope this helps. -Brenda-
So Pretty! I really love what you have done so far. Our bedroom really needs some love but its not on the short list. Happy Valentines Day!
Kelly I am back....re my last comment. In case you are looking....one source is Imperial Productions And Distribution Inc.
They have quite a good assortment and a favourable price range. They refer to them as 'expansion rings'.

Hi, it looks really great....Kathy
I would turn the window into a focal point with some great molding and maybe some gold paint... (?) It is a great feature!
I think your room is progressing very nicely. A headboard will really make a difference. It is what my eye sees missing the most. Make it fit just under the round window and it will be so cool. Maybe find a couple of round mirrors to compliment? Can't wait to see what you do.
Gorgeous! What color yellow is that? It's stunning.
everything you do is beautiful.i love coming over here to visit..cant wait to see it all done..
I really like what you are doing in your bedroom, it will be so beautiful when you are finished. I read through several pages of your blog and I am astounded at the amount of upholstery and slipcovers you do. I have done one and that was enough. I wish I enjoyed it more. I really want to make one for my large wingback chair, but I am afraid I will get tired of the project before it is done and just waste all of the fabric.
Too bad I don't live near you, then I would just hire you to do it for me.
Love your blog, it is great. I love your kitchen, it is really beautiful, you did a good job on it. We have just about finished our kitchen remodel, it was such a huge job, but I love it so much now. I'm sure you are loving yours, too.
Hugs, Cindy S.
it turned out beautiful very classy. im very inspired to do the ssame look. i hear your looking for some suggestions, well if this was my room i think id find a decorative ceiling medallion that went with the style of the room and was just large enough to go over the window. now i wouldnt cover the window becuase you said you liked the moon shining in at night, so id trace the window opening over the middle of the medallion cut it out and then replace it over the window so that way the decorative out lining of the medallion was showing and the inside was cut for the window opening. i hope that make sence lol. any ways have fun and great job!
Absolutely stunning! Did you do the portal window yourself?? We're impressed!

Looking good! I think we are going to do moulding like that in our living room. What's the name of the paint color? I like that it's yellow/gold but not blinding!
Sarah
A fabric head board in a square shape would be an awesome addition to the room!! With your skills it would be first rate is style and design details. By the way,I love, what you have done with your room, it is so warm, welcomming and inviting. You should post the before and after on HGTV"s Rate my space...Thanks for sharing!!
Kelly thanks for posting the paint name. I will definitely check it out. I just posted about your bedroom being an inspiration for my living room. Here's the link! Thanks again!
