150 Basement Progress: Master Bedroom Magical Moulding

Just before Christmas, we got to a point where we could move our master bedroom back to the lower level {for those new to the blog, we had a flood over a year ago and did a renovation after}.

So, when I last updated, it was looking like this:


Pretty blank slate.

My dream bedding went on sale...


And I begged and pleaded with the hubs to let me have a chandelier instead of a ceiling fan.  It was days and days of me being annoying until he couldn't take it anymore...


I instantly fell in love with the color of the grellow bedding against the wall color {Behr's Frozen Pond}.  It was a match made in bedroom heaven. 

But what to do with that giant wall behind the bed?  It spoke to me.  It told me that I should add some decorative moulding.  So I listened.

However, our bedroom is a bit obnoxious {for lack of a better word}.  It has a ledge wall on the left side, and a supporting beam to the right.  So we couldn't just do even rectangle panels.  We had to get a bit fancy.  I did a quick mock-up before we got started, so we were both on the same page:


As I have mentioned before, we project a lot at night when the kiddos are in bed.  How lucky are we that they can sleep through compressors and air nailers?

We picked up 10 pieces of 8ft x 1 1/8 x 7/16 in polymer cap moulding from Home Depot.

We drew out a plan on a piece of paper and wrote down all of the measurements.  We centered the bed.  Then measured out from there.  One large panel, two smaller on each side to frame the night stands.

Bryan cut down all of the 90 degree corners based on our measurements.

Then, used a level and actually drew pencil lines right on the wall, so he knew right where he would be nailing in the moulding.


He also used the level while nailing the moulding.  Just to make sure it was all nice and straight.


Over halfway done!  I was loving it!!!


Through the special powers of the internet, we got it all done, just like that!  {Oh, my husband wishes that was true!}


Once all of the moulding was in place, we just used some white painters caulk to fill in all of the nail holes, just like we did when we painted the trim in our upper level.  Because this trim was a polymer finish, we didn't need to paint a thing.  The caulk was the finishing touch.

So we moved back all of our belongings, I stole the sunburst mirror from our living room, we hung it and went to sleep feeling like we were just upgraded at a fancy pants hotel.

Waking up to this...





Because we didn't use one piece of moulding, the total cost for the trim was only $27.  Yep, a 27 dollar wall treatment that makes all the difference in the space.  Love.




Is this a happy before and after story?



I like shots that show progression.  They make me giddy!


It's getting there!  Still things to do, like add an area rug, dress up the bedding a bit more, add window treatments and address the completely empty wall on the opposite end of the bed, but this was HUGE progress for the space.  Progress that I am loving!

Who else loves the power of some pretty moulding?  Anyone been DIYing some fabulously inexpensive wall treatments?  Share your stories and links please!

  26. OMG Jen it's gorgeous!!! You might have just given me an idea for my master bedroom. Do you think something like this could balance out a room? We have one window all the way to the right of our bed. The bed is centered on the whole wall, but I have been trying to figure out how to balance out this wall. Would you do the same moulding if you had a window over your right side nightstand? I think I have to go and play around with the computer now and see if it might look good in our master BR. Thanks for the inspiration Jen. I love all the work you have been doing to your home. :)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I would love to know your opinion as well. I have two long walls in my bedroom. One has a window, but mine is to the far right of the nightstand-- I probably have about a foot from the nightstand to the window and then the other side has a door, so would it work? I just love it and then I was thinking about painting the inside a darker/lighter shade of the paint. I'd love to hear your opinion!
      Thanks!

      Delete
    2. It's so hard to say without seeing it. Feel free to email me a picture of the full wall and I can try and pop some "pretend" molding into the picture like I did for ours. That's how I knew which pattern to do, and what would work/look well in our space. It's a pretty permanent update, so seeing it first helps! :)

My husband is so exhausted when he gets home from work and he uses that as an excuse not to do all of my " honey please do's" on my getting longer by the eye roll list.Your house looks amazing, your family is breathtaking and you are such an inspiration I talk about you when I'm talking to friends, family, husband and it's getting a little nauseating.

  32. I never would have thought about molding around the big wall. The rooms in my house are kind of weird too. Like for example, my living room only has 2 walls that I can really use. (the third has a window and the other is the stairs) I wish we lived closer so you could come and give me some ideas!! :)

  42. Love your beautiful master bedroom! It makes such a difference to invest a little time and money into making it somewhat of a retreat... especially when you have sleeping babies down the hall. I am loving everything that you have done. You are very talented in your design. Just wondering if that is a body pillow on your bed with a beautiful cover? Ever since having my babies, I am still hooked on sleeping with my body pillow, but it is not the most aesthetically pleasing item. Would love to know where you got it (if that is what I think it is). Thank you!

    1. It was actually part of Target's "kissing pleats" line from awhile back. It was about $20 and I just use it as a pretty pillow when I make the bed, I don't think it would last long if I were to snuggle with it every night.

    1. It's such a long story, but we are doing some light swapping around the house. I had found some chandelier shades on ebay a little over a year ago but they weren't "clip on" shades. And they didn't fit on the Ikea chandelier. I am planning on moving our kitchen drum pendant to my studio office space so we replaced it with a chandelier from Home Depot. I used the ebay shades on the Home Depot chandelier and popped the clip on shades from the Home Depot chandelier onto the Ikea chandelier.

      Wow, sorry. Long story short, I used shades that came with another chandelier {the entire chandlier with shades only cost $79 from Home Depot which was almost as much as five chandelier shades anywhere I have seen!}

    1. I found it a few years back at an Ashley Furniture Homestore. I looked around online for you but I don't see it there any longer.

  86. I love everything...I love bedding and I love how the inexpensive trim can make the room look so amazing!

  87. Love the trimwork and that you found a creative solution for your wall. Also, if you don't mind sharing, where did you get the pillow case for your body pillow?

    1. It was actually part of Target's "kissing pleats" line from awhile back. It was about $20 and I just use it as a pretty pillow when I make the bed {it's decorative, not actually a body pillow}.

  92. I'm sure someone's already made a comment like this but the trim really adds visual height to the room!

  93. I did this with my living room in Florida a few decades back. Mine had concave corner moulding. I filled the inside with a damask wallpaper and it was STUNNING. Your hubby did a great job with this and it looks fantastic. I can't wait to see what you do with the room next.

  96. Hey Jen! You guys did a great job in here and I've been thinking of doing a similar molding treatment in my bedroom. Yours is such great inspiration! The wall color is beautiful as well. My blog Involving Color is all about paint colors, and I would love to feature this. You wouldn't have to do a thing, just let me know if you're interested!

  98. What size comforter is on the Duvet? I love duvets but my husband says the comforter moves around too much. Is there a secret to keeping it full and in place?

    1. I always purchase the same size insert as the cover. Most covers now have small ties inside at each corner, but if not, there are duvet clips for sale at most home stores.

  99. Do you have curtains in this room? If do I was wondering the color and pattern. I am always unsure of how to mix colors and patterns.

    1. Right now we do not have any curtains in our master bedroom, just thick white blinds. I will be sure to share when we do add a little something, but it will most likely be something simple like a roman shade in a subtle pattern. xoxo!
