To recap in case you're just now joining us: In week 1, we took a look at the starting point for my master bedroom and established a loose plan. You can see that here.
I hate planning ahead. I'm terrible at it.
So when this Sarreid chest showed up in my garage while I was out of town
my plan immediately changed. Because, if you don't already know this about me, I looooooove me some brass in a people-worry-about-me kind of way.
In week 2, we took a look at the rug I chose for the space, narrowed wall color choices to 8 shades of gray, discussed Ikea dresser hack inspiration, and decided on the mismatched bedside tables.
Which brings us to week 3. I could say that I'm very impressionable (and I am), but I was quite literally willing you guys to agree that the room couldn't do without the Sarreid/Saarinen combo. So thank you. I ordered the sexy Astrid Marble White Side Table from ORC sponsor Lamps Plus (thank you, Lamps Plus!!!) and it arrived yesterday. I don't have everything in place, so I can't say for sure that it's the perfect combo....but it is. We all know it is.
Here's the evolution of the room thus far:
Never was able to snap an after photo with good light, but trust that it's purty.
God bless husbands. Especially mine.
We'll give the dresser a little je ne sais quoi with stylish brass pulls. I'm still collecting options, so let's break that down next week, m'kay?
Since the bedside tables are different sizes and heights, I'm leaning towards sconces instead of lamps. I love the idea of matte black because it's sexy as hell and adds a masculine touch to the space. Something like zees:
Because yes, Christine, YES.

Of course, with a minimal budget, this may mean finding the right shape and spray painting them myself. A girl's gotta eat, you know.
Also, I was able to snag a set of gorgeous chairs over the weekend. I'm thinking one may make it into the bedroom because DANG. My daughter, Ava, even approves :)
I'm finally honing in on art and fabric selections, which I'll be discussing in more detail soon. Is that all over the place enough for you today?? Whew!
Time to check on my fellow participants.

First, you're the sweetest- thanks for the mention!!! I love the matte black sconce situation you have going on in combo with that brass goddess and Saarinen handsomeness. And then, holy shananigans that CHAIR! I might have just passed out- it's perfect in every possible way.

Love reading your posts. I can't wait to see what you decide with the sconces. How cute is Ava!! Fab chair.
Love that chair you found!! And all of your other decisions. Finishing up painting my son's room revere pewter and worrying b/c he keeps saying it's not gray, it's brown! So I feel your pain there. Love the black sconce idea...Christine's interiors shot...OMG!! :)
I can't breathe for love of that chair. Aces. I can't breathe for love of that Sarreid. Brass aces.
Love how the paint turned out and love your Lamps Plus picks! Cannot go wrong with matte black + brass! This is going to be a good one-cant wait to see how it turns out!
I LOVE the evolution of this sexy bedroom. Roooarr.. (That's my sexy leopard roar)
Your paint color is lovely! What a difference it makes! The matte black wall sconces. Oh my. This is all going to be amazing. Oh and that chair!! It's to die for!
Yes that chest is just too beautiful and so is that chair! It's a work of art and I'm so happy it will be in your bedroom. Love the black sconces! yes!

I legitimately drooled over that leopard chair when I saw it the other day. Drooled. It wasn't pretty. BUT THAT IS!
THAT CHAIR AND CHEST!!! I died!!! And perfect pick on the gray... I love the whole thing and can't wait to see the final product!

I can't wait to see it come together!!!
Wait but really, those chairs are SO GOOD! You HAVE to put one in the room. Maybe next to the sexy marble table, I feel like it could use a sassy friend. Greys are hard (but for real, whites are harder, and I totes screwed up my white and it's kinda a pale blue. Must fix) but you totally nailed it.

Holy moly!that chair! Not to mention the cuteness in leopard crawling beneath it:)...and that gray paint color, YUM!

Oh, man! Persian rug mixed with animal print! My favorite. I can't wait to see it all come together. Looks great.
