Come on in! Welcome to my new master bedroom! After six very short weeks, we were able to completely transform our master bedroom into a modern space that fits our styles and personalities a LOT better! It’s a BIG change from our previous bedroom, and a big change from the original design plans too! My renos and designs are rarely the same as my initial designs since I’m always designing and tweaking as I go. Linda at Calling it Home challenged us to renovate a space in our homes in less than six weeks, and I jumped on board again, creating a master retreat that I’m very proud of!
As a reminder… this is what our master bedroom used to look like…

It looks quite a bit different now! lol. the first thing you see when you walk in are my husbands closet cabinets. I added some masculinity to them by adding some DIY leather pulls (tutorial still coming!).
We had an empty space beside the window that was just screaming out for a bench. I looked in a few stores and found some that would work, but they were in the $300-$400 dollar range (OUCH!), so I drew a design and my husband made this little bench seat in ONE DAY! I’ll share the plans soon :)
I had this shutter put in by a local company, Sheer Illusions, and I couldn’t believe what a big difference it made! Such a beautiful, sleek touch for the space!
We took our old mantel and gave it a face lift with my favourite dark stain (ebony), and then added a new white brick facade.
The other side of the fireplace was looking a bit bare, so I added a comfy seat and some decor to cozy it up a bit!
Honestly… we will probably put the TV back over the fireplace eventually, but for now we are enjoying our books at night instead.
I added a couple of vases to the mantel to add a ton of character, including this black and white beauty.
I also added this navy vase with this (very realistic) faux fern. There are no better plants than faux ones for me! lol.
Originally I was going to place my rugs directly on top of each other, but our room is a bizarre shape, and I was afraid that this beautiful blue rug would be too hidden under the bed. I wanted to show it off!
My solution was to layer the rugs at an angle – one under the bed and one leading the eye to the fireplace. LOVE the results!
Remember when I asked you what my DIY circles were for? Whoever guessed hooks was our winner! We hung some up for the hubby and some up for me. All stained with my favourite natural stain.
And then there’s the important part of the bedroom: the bed!
My husband wouldn’t let me go without a fan in the bedroom. Deal-breaker for him, lol. But I found this gorgeous matte black fan and never turned back.
This bold black and white wallpaper steals the show. It looks SO good!
I asked for everyone’s advice on what do do for my side tables – you guys had so many great suggestions! I was originally going to paint old nightstands in my favourite paint line – midnight blue or coal black, but once the wallpaper was up, I had to switch gears. I decided to go with wooden nightstands, and I’m so glad I did! The simple eucalyptus stems were the perfect simple touch of greenery.
The jute rug under the bed was such a good choice. It’s surprisingly comfortable and fits the room perfectly!
This simple modern mirror was a lifesaver! It broke up the pattern in the wallpaper, keeping it from being too overwhelming, and added some softness at the same time.
Getting a new duvet set was a must for this room! I found a set that was the absolute softest of greys. Perfect colour for the space and still very light – which I wanted in the room.
I couldn’t decide on colours to add into the space, so I mostly stuck with black, white and grey. Until I found this red velvet pillow and threw that into the mix too :) Still hoping to add some more navy I think, or a deep green – maybe with a great pattern?! I just couldn’t find what I was looking for in the last week of the challenge!
On the other side of the bed is the beautiful barn door that we installed for my dream closet.
I just grabbed a few of my favourite pieces for the nightstand. I almost bought some new pieces from HedgeApple, which has some great home decor, I’ll make what I have work for now! lol.
The faux eucalyptus stems are so real looking. I’m always so shocked at how beautiful the faux florals can look these days.
Another great room done! I still can’t believe the transformation in there. It’s always such a thrill to see my designs come to life!
If you need me, I’ll be resting by the fireplace, reading a book :)

I love it!! You two did a great job! I bet you’re excited to live in it now. I would love to hire you to come and help me decorate… ☺️
Aww! Thank you SO much!! Yes, we are so beyond happy to just rest in there now :)
Wow! Lindi it turned out great. It’s so your style, love how it turned out. I think the rugs are my fav. loved how you layered them. Job well done!
Thank you so much my friend! Definitely my style to a tee! A hint of modern, rustic, and industrial all combined, lol.
It’s so perfectly you! It turned out beautifully and is the perfect compliment to that new master bath!!! LOVE it my friend!
Thank you Kristi! I’m so happy with how everything came together! And I totally agree! It looks perfect beside ouraster bath! :)
It’s apparent that a lot of thought was put into your design. The wall paper is indeed a show stopper. Everything is pulled together very well and you have a special talent.
So beautiful Lindi! Everything came out perfectly and all turned out great! Nicely done!
Thank you so much!!
Well, my first reaction was my jaw dropping. That fireplace redo is incredible! I feel like I could write a short novel about how much I love this room… but I won’t (although you could read it by the fireplace if I did :) ). I love that your husband made that bench (and I’m sure for less that hundreds of dollars) and the rugs are gorgeous… the circle hooks… I just love it all. Your spaces are always amazing!
Awww Erin! If you could see me, I’d be blushing, lol. Thank you so much! I can’t believe how the space all came together – I’m so proud of the transformation!
The wallpaper is stunning! The whole retreat is beautiful actually. Love what you did with the fireplace. You are a talented duo!
Hahaha, thank you! I definitely couldn’t have finished this space without the hubby!
what a difference from the before and love the boldness of your wallpaper choice and the black and white palette! great job and congrats on Week 6 of One Room Challenge!
Thank you so much! It’s such a dramatic change! The black and white palette was such a big change and I love it!
Beautiful! Love that wallpaper!
Thank you! It’s definitely a show-stopper!
Still love the wallpaper, but even more now with the mirror and the wooden nightstands. What a gorgeous room!
It turned on out gorgeous! Great choices on the night stands and red pillow. Nice attention to detail and photos.
The knobs on the wall by the bed – I would have never thought to put those there but I totally love it! The stool is just adorable, love the storage built-in and of course that gorgeous wallpaper! looks good girl!
it turned out beautifully! love that paper so much! and the round mirror is perfect above the bed!
Love your room, Lindi! The wallpaper is on point! Also, that barn door! Ahh, it’s so good!
Everything is gorgeous but my favorite part is definitely the side with the bed! The wallpaper and all your styling choices work perfectly together! Love this room!
FABULOUS Lindi! I just love everything about this space and I especially love how functional it seems for you and your hubby. Everything has a place – perfect! I really love that fan – the fan would be a deal breaker for my husband, too. I’ll be checking that piece out!
This is lovely! I love all the dark tones! Pinning!

Congratulations on finishing the challenge! Love that wallpaper and the barn door, so cool.
LOVE it! Obsessed with the whole patterned wall and bed styling. Nice work, lady!!
I love everything about this room. I love your play on black and white and who you did not use it in a literal sense, but instead you incorporated pattern and texture into it. Good job! Magazine worthy!
This room is gorgeous, Lindi! I love everything…the wallpaper, the fireplace, the bed…and yes, even the fan :) Great job!
You did a wonderful job! I love your little bench! I ran into that same problem when I redid our master–I about fainted from sticker shock after seeing bench prices so the hubby and I made our own as well. That new brick on the fireplace is soooo stunning and I think I may copy this on our living room fireplace!
Lindi!!! Love the wallpaper! How luxurious to have a fireplace in your bedroom too! This came out fabulous! Enjoy the fruits of your labors!
Girl, slayed it! I love it all, the layered rugs is such a great idea! I can’t wait to see the tutorial on that bench too, excellent!
A great refresh and a lovely new look! I love the colours! My favourite parts are the barn door and bedside sconces. Favourite takeaway is the angled and layered area rugs.
Love the wallpaper and the sliding door! Great job!
Just gorgeous! I love all the black and white. And your fireplace is just perfect. Well done!
Wow, beautiful, Lindi. Looking forward to the DIY bench post. Such beautiful touches throughout the space. It’s so inviting and luxe looking.
The fireplace looks amazing AND I love the barn door!!
yes! that blue rug! And that wall paper!!! oMg! the wallpaper! Nice job!
I think the wood nightstands were a great decision. I also love the single round mirror over the bed. Great choices!!
Way to go Lindi! It all came together so well. I really like your choice of nightstands …and the fireplace nook is such a nice thing to have in a bedroom!
Girl you nailed this space. Nailed it SO hard. The circular mirror is perfect because it helps break-up the lines from the wallpaper. Well done friend!
I’m still swooning over that wallpaper! The room looks so good, not at all teenage boy-ish! It’s so pretty! I love the fireplace! The rock is gorgeous!
I seriously love everything about your room. Your cranking me up to make mine! Your probably falling asleep with a smile on your face now!!!
It looks so good!!!! I am in love with the fireplace makeover.
Beautiful job! I love that feature wall, it beautiful. I love what you did with the fireplace and those wooden nightstand are perfect!
Lindi, this looks like out of a magazine! WhAt a great and bold bedroom!!
WOW! I LOVE that wallpaper. That black cabinet is amazing too. I’m also in love with that blue rug! What a great reveal!
Oh my goodness that feature wall! I adore that wallpaper, the mirror, your sconces, your throw…ok EVERYTHING!!!
The black/white/gray combo go so well together, you could totally add in colours later and change them up when you feel like it. I’m kinda wishing I had some faux plants like yours though… they look so real!
The room is divine! Fabulous job! I hope you spend many happy years here!
I love love love the new wall paper! I wasn’t sure about getting rid of the old but you were right. It looks gorgeous! I love all the masculine touches, gorgeous!

Hello Lindi, I love that wallpaper and decoration of home. Everything is looking so gorgeous. And you know what, my favourite part is your color combination for home. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful blog.
Oh Lindi, your room is gorgeous! I love the wallpaper you chose. It must feel SO good to have this room, and your bathroom done and looking spectacular!
Love the bedroom! My husband and I are doing a very similar fireplace in our family room. Wondering what you did for the top of the fireplace. It looks to be white, what is that?
Absolutely stunning! Beautiful job
