Master Bedroom Plans: The Beloved Built-Ins

You’ve seen this part of our master bedroom a few different times over the years, it’s evolved little by little and it’s about to take on an even bigger transformation. Then, there is the opposite side of our bedroom that has never seen the blog before. It’s the dreaded space that has literally sat lifeless for the past (almost) three years. I have always had big plans for our master bedroom, a big big vision with really big dreams. Someday I KNEW it would eventually happen (at least hoped), so I decided to not really do anything with it until I did it right.

And now is the time! My plan all along has been to do a full wall of built-ins with a modern industrial fireplace in the center. I love built-ins. I love the classic, timeless look of them. I love how polished they look. Today, I’m going to show you some of the inspiration photos for this side of the room.

I love these bright white traditional built-ins with the lower cabinets and overhead lighting. The built-ins we have planned are very similar to these but with different hardware and rustic shelves. This design is also the first time I’v seen a dry bar attached to the end of built-ins. This has my mind spinning! Having a space for my Keurig and creamer in our bedroom doesn’t sound all too bad!

Now let’s discuss this more modern contemporary look. There are so many things I love about this entire design. The sleek, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, and flush mount fireplace and TV. The addition of those rustic stained shelves is also so beautiful. This is the exact fireplace I want except…

I want our fireplace wrapped in steel! I want the fireplace to have a real industrial look to it and I am obsessed with this look!

And this room, well everything about this room is just gorgeous. I love the steel fireplace of course and those beautiful white linen couches are really stunning. I’d love to have a set of comfy linen chairs at the end of our bed that face the fireplace and TV.

I can’t wait to show you the final plans for this wall! If you didn’t see already, the hardwoods were installed this week and I gave a few sneak peeks on Instagram.

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! W Exterior Update! It’s been a long time coming! We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
