For those who are aware of our main bedroom makeover that I did for the spring 2019 ORC, this post may be confusing. Why a refresh so soon?! Because I can’t ever let things just be, of course? Let me provide some context.
When I made over our main bedroom, a new mattress just wasn’t a part of the plan. So for the time being, I purchased a queen headboard with the idea that we would eventually upgrade to a king mattress, sell that pretty headboard on Facebook Marketplace, and would then get a new, king size headboard.
We finally got a new Lull king size mattress a few weeks go – which is so comfortable and has proven to be perfect for us as stomach and back sleepers (and has cooling effect which was a MUST have for me). Cue…the Serena and Lily Balboa headboard. I’ve been eyeing this headboard for a while and I felt it would be the perfect one for our bedroom. The traditional lines of the molding paired with the casual, natural woven texture of the cane creates a more relaxed and casual vibe for our room.
Enough of my word vom. I know you’re only here for the photos
My focus for this refresh was to:
1. Fight my impulse to paint the room, which is way harder than it sounds
2. Really create a bedding situation that felt like we were sleeping in a 5-start hotel without actually knowing what it was like to ever sleep in a 5-start hotel LOL.
That meant new linen bedding and sleeping pillows in addition to the new mattress. After receiving many pillow recommendations via IG, I purchased Brooke Linen mid-plush down pillows while they were on sale and I’ve been loving mine. Angelo said mid-plush was not firm enough for him (he’s a stomach sleeper) so I’ll probably be exchanging his pillow for a firmer one.
These new sage Sister Parish Dolly pillows fed my desire for a classic floral-y pattern in here. And the Cowtan and Tout Rajah lumbar from Stuck on Hue (her pillows are to die for) fed my desire for a pop of animal print! This combo is unexpected but I think it works.
The cat seems to be pleased with the new pillow arrangement, which really is all that matters.
I also was never quite crazy about the sconces that I purchased for our original bedroom makeover, so I partnered with Hudson Valley Lighting on their Claremont (plug in!) wall sconce and added some pleated shades I found on eBay.
I had the idea to swap out the chartreuse curtains with these custom drapes that I found on FB MP a few months ago and I must say, they fit perfectly in here. Definitely need some ironing though.

You really are so very talented and I’m quite pleased you can’t leave things alone 😉 I love following along for all of your changes. I’m of the belief that a home shouldn’t have static decor—keep it moving and changing! This room is beautiful
thank you SO much Kirsten! I couldn’t agree more 🙂
the moody blue walls get me every time. nice job! that headbord is lovely
Absolutely beautiful as always!:) You are a true artist in home design & I can totally relate to feeling the urge to change things around. Each & every time you completely nail it: what a gift you have.
I must admit that gorgeous kitty-cat is definitely stealing the show though!:) soooo cute!!!<3
Aw thanks so much Amanda!! I appreciate your kind words. ????????
Interesting touch: cane headboard. Rather beachy in a traditional setting. Lovely paint colour on the walls.
Hello, I just read this post and am just dying to find out did you get rid of the other sconces and shades for them and your other headboard and curtains. As I would love to purchase them. Can you please let me know through my email. Thank you.
Hi
Could you tell me what colour you have used on the bedroom walls please.
Thanks Amanda
What is the color of your bedroom. Tried to find it on you IG but no luck
Thank you
It’s farrow and ball de nimes 🙂
I love the pink bench in your first bedroom. Could you tell me who makes it or where you got it. It would be perfect in my daughters room.
Thank you! Your style is fantastic!
Best!
