Our New White, Pink, and Grey Bedroom

by Decorchick! on Fri, 27 Jan 2012

Yes it’s true. Our master bedroom has undergone a few changes yet again.  When I started using the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint toward the end of last year, I couldn’t stop.  And I ended up painting all of our furniture in our bedroom white.  And then I decided to go pink and grey with the rest of the decor, so that’s what our bedroom is now and I think it’s so pretty!

The good thing is that I did not have to repaint our walls or anything. I still like the color from the last master redo.  And the color is Sherwin Williams Mindful Grey (flat finish) in case you don’t remember.

I love how the painted dresser ties in with the grey/silver curtains and the wall color don’t you?  And yes that bed was a beast to paint.

Let me show you a pic of the last bedroom makeover to show you what the furniture looked like previously.

It was all shiny and that faux marble stuff.  I hated it.  So I covered it up with the white chalk paint.  This is still not my dream bed or furniture, but I do love it SO much better in white!  I really want an upholstered headboard/bed–that would be my forever bed. :)

And here it is now.

Big difference right?  I’d still like to replace the wicker bench and get a nicer chair for the corner, but for now they will do. :)

Basically everything in this room is exactly the same, except for the painted furniture, bedding and curtains, which I’ll get to now. The beautiful bedding was sent to me from DKNY Home and it is the most luxurious bedding I have ever owned. Seriously.

The duvet is just beautiful and billowy. It ALWAYS stays fluffy and my duvet comforter doesn’t get lost in it, which was a huge complaint I had with the last duvet cover from West Elm.  I have been calling this “pink” but it’s actually called “Blush” and that would be more accurate.  So don’t let the word pink scare you away or especially if your guy would freak out about pink bedding. It’s actually in between a very pale pink and peach.  So yea, it’s blush.  :)  You can find it here on the DKNY Home website.  I love the shams and decorative pillows it came with too.

See how billowy it is?  LOVE! I hope billowy is a word.

I know, don’t hate me, but DKNYHome also sent me this amazing quilt set.

Can I just say how awesome it is to have a quilt to sleep with AND a comforter??  I know that may sound silly, but it’s nice to just keep the comforter at the foot of the bed when it’s hot and sleep with just the quilt, or you can pull up the comforter and be all nice and comfy. It’s luxury I’m telling ya. And this quilt is all 100% cotton so it’s super soft and does not get hot. It is called the Haven quilt and you can find it here.

Would you be surprised if I told you Curtainworks sent the beautiful new curtains?

I know you aren’t surprised, but they did!  And these are quite luxurious as well.  They are real Dupioni Silk and these are in the color Pewter. You can find them here. I love the pinch pleat too–gives it a more sophisticated look.

Oh, and also notice I painted our nightstands white too! I told you I couldn’t put the brush down.

And just a few more.

And that’s about it!

What do you think of the new look?  Of course there are still other things I’d like to do in here. Lots of things actually.  But we gotta take baby steps, especially with a new baby coming!  At least I love it for now. :)

I’m finding the green-eyed monster hard to keep away!! You lucky girl!!

I love the look of your bedroom. You’ve done a great job with all that painting. It’s great paint, isn’t it? No sanding is such a plus – I hate that job with a passion!!

I love all the white furniture. It’s such a clean look. Much better than the wood going on before. Nice job.

I looks a-mazing. The bed makes such a dramatic change, even just going white. It’s all looks so soft & restfull too. I layer the heck out of my bedding. I have mine reversed. I have 100% organic cotton duvet on a down comforter, with a quilt at the foot of my bed. Everything is so fluffy. It’s my haven!! Enjoy your “new” room. It’s DREAMY =)

I am loving the fluffy bedding. And those dupioni silk curtains!!!! I love dupioni silk. It is so good to see someone using it instead of the usual that we see. Dupioni silk is timeless. Everything is so beautiful! I love your style!

I have been looking into mindful grey in my guest bedroom. My GB gets strong light in the day because it faces the rising sun so everything looks washed out and COLD. Mindful grey looked like a taupe that would fade to a nice gray in the sun, but still look nice at night too. Your walls aren’t cold at all to me, it’s lovely. How do you like it?

13 Decorchick! January 27, 2012 at 1:35 pm

Hi Elz, well it says a lot that I haven’t repainted them yet and it’s been a year now. haha. I still love the color a lot and it’s not cold to me at all. Our bedroom gets light all day long too.

Another color you could try would be the color we have in the rest of the house, SW Balanced Beige. It’s a taupey grey and I love it a lot too. :) You can see the color in this post. http://www.decorchick.com/the-new-living-room-wall/

Love the pink and grey scheme and the overall style. Your “old” duvet cover…the grey pintuck West Elm one is the one I used in our new bedroom makeover this past month! Weird how it photographs more brown. I actually wrote West Elm to make sure it was grey before I bought it!

I love this look. In fact I just redecorated my daughter’s old room …green and white stripe w/pink … into a nursery (grandbaby) and decided to go all white. I’ve always loved white rooms … so I thought why not? In fact I bought the same comforter that you have in white from Nordstroms. I made a wispy white layered bed skirt. Now I’m thinking about a wall color. Like you I think I might try a light, light neutral….possibly light brown. Looks great. Hmmm let me know if you have any sponsors that would like to give me a nice shaggy throw…..

I love the color combo, very nice. And no, I don’t hate you for your blessings, but sure would enjoy some of them myself! :) Since you don’t really like your bed, why don’t you just try upholstering within the arch of it, add some tufting, see how you like it. Can’t hurt, right?

Visiting from TT&J. Everything is so very, very pretty! I’ve been redoing our master suite for a while now and trying to decide what color to paint our second dresser. White or bright and glossy color. Wanting to try the Annie Sloan chalk paint. Maybe this will be the push I need.

Love everything! I’ve been wanting to paint my bedroom Mindful Grey for a while… maybe this will give me the inspiration to get started already!

And the pink is fantastic. How on earth you convinced your hubby to let you do that should be your next post! (And I can’t think blush without thinking bashful… from Steel Magnolias!)

When your post popped up in my e-mail I couldn’t wait to open it after reading the title – I LOVE these colors together! The room looks great. I was thinking, though, the pink would have been a bit more “pinkier”, maybe it’s the photography? It’s looking a little bit on the “peachy” side??

Reply

42 elz January 28, 2012 at 9:33 pm

I also have a quilt and comforter on our bed. My feet are usually the coldest anyway, so it works out well.

The real question is-how does hubby feel surrounded by pink?! ;)

I adore your blog. Just found it. :) Really funny note…I was “home blog” hopping because we are thinking of repainting our ENTIRE house. (All the walls flow together so it’s all or nothing.) I really want to repaint, (it’s been 9 years…fo real!) but I’m sentimental about our paint color and i told my husband, “we really have the perfect paint color. We have build our whole decorating scheme around it. The color is Plantation Beige. We still have the paint swatch which is about 5 colors in the strip…the one above Plantation Beige being Tobacco Road. For years my husband had said, “we should have gone one more step up, up to Tobacco Road.” It’s been part of our decor banter for years! To come to your blog today and see you talk about it and people mention that and our color (Plantaion Beige) was so funny!! I read parts of out loud to my husband and said “we painted that color in 2002! We were cool before it was cool!” LOL, hey we get our kicks in where we can right? Was just very ironic!! :) Glad to have found you. Coincidentally, our new color looks like it is going to be a greige also, but were going darker!! :)

Your new bedroom is really lovely. How lucky are you to be sent the bedding and new curtains! You said the furniture had a shiny finish….
how did you prime or get them ready for paint? I have some in my bedroom I’m hesitant to paint because they would seem to have the same finish as yours. I’m a little curious to know how the mister is with the pink and white bedroom?

DKNY uses rabbit fur in her design… Sorry I just can’t see anything right about her designs at the expense of animals. L ove the room, it’s absolutely stunning. I think there are “greener” alternatives.
