“You should’ve done this a long time ago,” my husband said for the fiftieth time.

I had to agree with him on that.

But the credit goes to Loom Decor for providing me the motivation to makeover my master bedroom. Their timing couldn’t have been better. It was a month ago that they invited me to try out their online custom furnishings tool. The first couple of weeks, my husband and I enjoyed experimenting with Loom Decor’s site to digitally create beautiful drapery and bedding using designer-quality fabrics. Their design tool allows you to “see” your design before you buy it.

Together, we decided on two pair of Loom’s custom pinch-pleated linen drapery in oyster, three matching tailored euro shams with white linen trim, and a playful chevron throw pillow. Once I placed the order, I had plenty of time to tackle my blank canvas. Remember the before photo? B-O-R-I-N-G…

And here is the glorious “after” photo. This room speaks volumes about who we are. I’ll take you on a full tour…

Here’s a closer look at the drapery and euro shams made by Loom Decor. They are understated and elegant, just the vibe we were looking for in our master bedroom.

The fabric and construction are high quality, timeless, and versatile. Whenever we decide to switch up our look, these items will stay. I complemented our new drapery with nothing less than designer-quality drapery hardware with an antique bronze finish. Dressing a window properly is an investment in your home that will yield a return on your enjoyment and often at resale!

The room isn’t completely neutral, there are pops of color throughout courtesy of my new glossy blue lamps, artwork, and a mix of throw pillows both custom and retail.

Let’s be honest, there is no room in our house that is off limits to our children. When night falls our room is the place to cuddle, read bedtime stories, or be snuggled when feeling sick.

I sewed a slipcover from a painter’s dropcloth and covered a settee I purchased on craigslist for $100. It offers an alternative to sitting on my bed especially since I now make it up everyday.

And with the littlest Ward asleep in our bed at night, come morning you just may find one of the other three kids asleep on this settee. Nothing is too delicate in this space. The pillow covers can either be tossed in the wash or sent to the dry cleaners when needed.

Taking a second look at the bed, I must emphasize the beauty of mixing custom items, retail purchases, and vintage finds. I’d been wanting a federal concave mirror for awhile and found this one at Scotts Antique Market for $40. Though I made this purchase 2 years ago, it goes to show that when you buy what you love you can always find a place for it somewhere in your home. All of the pillows except the smallest one were custom made while the duvet set was purchased at a mass retailer. The lamps are an online find from lampsplus.com.

So here is the opposite side of the room. Our space felt very heavy with so much wood furniture that I send the chest upstairs to my eldest son’s room. With the chest gone, I had the opportunity to add more seating. We have to accommodate everyone, right?

If you lost the ‘no TV in the bedroom’ debate with your spouse, you can always find clever ways to disguise it! Surrounded by artwork and flanked by two candle sconces, the unattractive television becomes somewhat nonexistent don’t you think?

I just love how the candles sconces, though new, mimic an antique feel just like the federal mirror. Don’t be afraid to mix antiques with contemporary art. You will be pleasantly surprised with the results!

The woven chest beside the TV houses the remote control and the DVDs hubby has in his rotation.

Below is my corner. This chair is another craigslist find I purchased for $40. I hid the worn pink upholstery with a slipcover and moved it to the playroom (remember this post?), then to the sitting area in the kitchen, and then I finally decided to have it reupholstered. Ahh, this chair is unbelievably comfortable and great for nursing the baby. No glider in my bedroom! This zigzag pillow is also a Loom Decor product. Its heavy weave is durable and adds a touch of playfulness to my cozy nook!

At the end of each day, I light one of my deliciously fragrant candles for ambiance and it signals to the kids that it’s time to chill out.

I am so pleased with my experience with Loom Decor and the level of service I received from their staff. My order arrived timely and properly packaged not to be soiled or damaged during shipping. Had I needed to make a change to my order, there is a 120 day returns policy where I could ship my order back to Loom in exchange for a merchandise credit.
