Master Bedroom Reveal – Boho Hollywood Meets Farmhouse!
Master bedroom reveal, bohemium meets farmhouse! I drooled over this rug for MONTHS before I finally decided to spoil myself by buying it! I lived with it without a rug pad for several weeks, putting off the purchase. But then Rug Pad USA contacted me and asked if I would like to do a review of one of their rug pads and it was perfect timing! With a new rug, two “new” lamps and a new comforter it was WAY beyond time to share with you my newest refresh of my master bedroom!
As most of you know I got divorced recently so one of the first places I “took back” was my master. I brought up my black rocker that I transformed last year and then it dawned on me that I really needed to figure out a better lamp situation.
A trip to the thrift store and I had my answer!
With all of the black already going on with my furniture it seemed time to lighten the room up with a new comforter. Out with the old and in with the new!
I took my old black comforter to my local thrift store (it was still in good shape but after I threw my ex out that comforter was one of things that absolutely had to leave this house.) I added this pretty gray comforter to my wishlist and my mom gave it to me for my birthday. “Thanks, Mom!”
The new rug was so rolled up when I got it I finally had to steam it to help get the kinks out but it still slid around even with the rocker sitting on one corner. So, I chose the RugPro rug pad from Rug Pad USA because it was specific for slick hardwood floors like mine. It works amazing! And it added some MUCH needed cushion to the rug too and it also helped the rug flatten out.
I spread my clothes out into my extra closet and dresser, cleaned the room from top to bottom, bought myself some new sheets, and, truly, I felt like I had a whole new bedroom. (I read somewhere online about how awesome white sheets are and, ya know what? They really do make me feel like I’m in a hotel suite!)
By some sort of miracle I have still managed to keep all of my plants alive in the hanging flower boxes I built last year and they’ve all gotten so big. I’m going to be adding even more plants with the addition of a few in my bathroom too. With how long our northern MN winters are I can tell you that they really do help with the winter blues.
I have found a lovely mix of mugwart and lavender oil now that I keep beside my bed. I gave up on using a little terracotta diffuser because it just used SO MUCH oil. Instead I put a couple of drops on a small blanket I keep close to me now, saved me a ton on essential oils and my bedroom smells like a temple lol
Someone asked me how on earth I could live without a tv in my bedroom and I know I offended them because I wasn’t able to keep the horror off of my face.
Perhaps its because that both of my full time jobs require me to be in front of screens constantly but the idea of having anything electric in this room (besides my clock) truly offends me. This is my HAVEN, my church, my place of quiet where anything above of whisper seems like a disrespect to the space.
With my ex finally out of my home and my new reclaiming of this floor now when I come upstairs I feel like I am transcending. Like I am stepping up and away from screens and noise and people and ALL things in my life that could possibly disrupt my peace.
I come up here at night, plug my phone in and I never look at it again. This is where I soak in the silence and I disconnect so I can reconnect with my health and my life.

Hi Tarah…. Nice rug, pretty colours, but the star is the comforter from your Mum! That is so cool! I love grey – the back wall in both my bedrooms is painted grey, and my bedlinens have grey somewhere in them. That bed looks much better now (sorry, not a fan of black bedlinen!) and Yay for the white sheets! You must feel so great having got that room the way you want it – and of course I wish you very sweet dreams in it. x
Thank you Susan, yup I am TOTALLY in love with my new comforter! Thanks so much!
