Master Bedroom Winter Essentials

Happy Monday! 

I don't know how it is where you live 

but it is COLD here!  

Really Cold!  

So I wanted to share some of my 

Winter Essentials for the Master Bedroom.  

The first thing I did 

was to sew up some new pillows.  

You can NEVER have enough pillows 

on the bed right?  

I wanted to brighten the room a little 

and layer the fabrics... 

Just like you would layer up 

your clothing in the winter.  

I found a really nice fabric at Nell Hills 

and I kept the swatch in my purse forever!  

Of course, I never got back over there 

to buy the fabric but I found something similar 

at JoAnne's on sale.  

I might even like it better...  

I had the tassel fringe already.  

Goodness knows why I had it but I did.  

I made envelope pillows the same way 

that I did in this post.

Mountain House Pillows 

I would do a tutorial but I don't sew that well 

and there are a lot of tutorials 

and videos out there already.  

I love the way it coordinates 

but adds some warmth to the other fabrics.  

That reminds me... 

I was flipping through the new Ballard catalog 

the other day (that's where I ordered the toile comforter duvet and shams) and I saw this...

Do you see what I see?

Ballard

They added a Buffalo Check duvet cover 

and shams just like the shams that I made!  

Are they reading my blog? LOL

Ballard

Well, I guess all I can say is "Good Choice Ballard"!  

It does look nice together doesn't it?   

And it's not like toile and buffalo checks 

is a brand new idea...

OK, I got off topic.  

Back to the Winter Essentials.  

A throw is essential for me in the winter.  

We have them in every room of the house.  

If I am sitting up reading in bed my shoulders get cold.  

On my bedside table I have a tray 

that holds more Winter Essentials.  

Hand cream is definitely essential 

in the cold dry winters here in the Midwest.  

I have Kitchen hand cream, 

bathroom hand cream, 

work hand cream and 

stop light hand cream.  

You know what stop light hand cream is right?  

The hand cream you apply at the stop light!  

That is assuming you are not texting!  

The tray also has my fluffy 

aloe gloves that I put on after the hand cream.  

They don't stay on all night but it does help.  

My reading glasses are there 

and a spot for my jewelery too.  

And one can't forget fluffy soft slippers!  

This is how I would like to spend the whole Winter...

 Right here, curled up with a cup of tea 

and a good book, or two or three...

What are your Winter Essentials?

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves

Master Bedroom Progress

Whew!  

What a busy weekend!  

I hope you are all enjoying this Spring weather 

and if you are still experiencing some Winter 

in your area 

then I am wishing some Spring your way soon!  

I am SO excited to share my Master Bedroom 

updates with all of you!  

If you are following me on Instagram 

or Facebook 

then you might have had a sneak peek!  

I had TWO special deliveries this weekend. 

The first delivery came from Ballard Designs.  

I ordered a new duvet cover and euro shams for....

MY NEW HEADBOARD!  

The headboard was delivered on Saturday 

and I couldn't wait 

to get everything all put together! 

I ordered the headboard from Pottery Barn.  

I looked all over for a padded headboard.  

I looked at my design centers, 

everywhere online, 

and at some furniture stores 

before I took a leap of faith 

and ordered the Gabriella headboard.  

I love the nailhead trim and the wood frame.  

The natural linen fabric 

goes perfectly with the floors and the wall color. 

 I placed my new Estate Sale 

chair at the end of the bed 

along with the tufted bench. 

Don't you just adore this toile bedding?  

It is called Jardin Toile in Spa.  

It is so soft and the colors are wonderful.  

It has a light ecru background 

although it looks white in the photo.  

And see my tray at the end of the bed 

from Decor Steals?  

See, all of my favorite places are represented!  

Ballard, Pottery barn, Decor Steals and Estate Sales! 

I special ordered this sham from Ballard.  

It has our initials on it!  

AND, Mr. Beaux's are on 

HIS side of the bed 

and mine is on 

MY side of the bed! 

I paired it with two Battenburg lace shams from ?? 

You guessed it!  

An Estate Sale! 

I like the way that they all coordinate together.

I didn't want the toile to takeover the room 

so I put a Matelasse cover on 

and folded the toile cover 

at the end of the bed. 

Do you see my painted chest?

I think it looks better than I imagined! 

Now, his side is masculine 

and my side is feminine!  

I am still working on a few details in the room.  

I need new lighting, our fan is outdated and kinda ugly.  

I did update our lamps with new shades.  

I need some artwork for the walls 

but I will wait until I find the perfect things 

to hang over the chests.  

The hardwood floors look awesome 

but now I need a rug!  

I put the full length mirror back 

to take up some of the long wall space.  

This is always a hard room to take photos in 

because there is never any direct sunlight.  

I took a lot of pictures!  

I made everyone stay out of the room 

so that it wouldn't get all messed up!  

I mean EVERYONE!  

Of course that didn't last for long!

The four legged people 

think that the new bed is just for them!  

Here is a link to how the room looked Before.

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
