Master Bedroom Lighting



Last time I showed you guys my master bedroom in progress, you probably saw that big ugly spinning fan above the bed.  Living in Texas, having fans in every room is a must, and I will probably be regretting this come summer, but I just could not keep the fan in the room.  I love to see chandeliers in bedrooms, especially master bedrooms, and mine was no exception.  I had been looking at Overstock for a while, trying to decide which light fixture I wanted.  I had originally had my sight set on one, until, quite by chance, this one popped up.  I couldn't believe I had missed it in my search, and as soon as I saw it, I fell in love.


Via Overstock

I did not even have to think about it, I purchased it on the spot, it also helped that I was able to use a coupon.  It wasn't until the next day, that I realized they also had this same chandelier in a chrome finish, but it was a little too late to switch the order, and besides, this one is the one that took my breath away ;)





I love the shadows it casts on the ceiling and walls when lit at night.



I have also been playing with the addition of some color in the room.  I really like the combination of gray and yellow, so I have been trying slowly, to incorporate the color.  I re-covered the lamp shades I had on my nightstands with this lovely fabric.  I think it add just the right amount of color to this wall:  


I am still not sure about the lamps.





I used a gray and white trim for the edges, it is definitely not perfect, but I don't do perfect, nothing I do is, and that is fine by me.  While I was working on installing the chandelier, guess what arrived at my door early:


I was not expecting the headboard until next week, and even then, it was a lot sooner than what the site had said.  I will be posting pictures as soon as I can.  

So now with the walls painted, the new lights up, and the new headboard delivered, I have to say, I think my master bedroom redo is slowly, but surely, coming along..  Hopefully, nightstands are next (hint), that is, if I don't decide to paint the ones I currently have..we will have to see.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hope everyone has a great week!

  20. It's just beautiful! I'm in TX too so I totally understand about the fans. I've had one installed in my bedroom here (apt) but I just don't care for the "look". I'm going to see how the bedroom cools with it before I change it out. Would just LOVE to have a beautiful chandy!

    I stopped by from Debbiedoo's and so glad I did. I'm a new follower and look forward to more of your creativity. By the way, I'm in the DFW area...are you far away? :-)

    Stop by and say hi when you can!

Hi Pat, I too live in the DFW area, we are probably neighbors ;) I can already tell that this summer is going to be brutal....and that is just in my bedroom...ha..ha...but, I guess that is the price I will have to pay..I did keep the fan though...just in case...or not. Thanks so much for stopping by.

  34. Your light spells “HOLLYWOOD GLAM.” In a bedroom, you don’t need too much light. You can survive by just having a main light source, a dimmer, and a lamp shade. This is one reason why you should choose a standout light piece for your bedroom.
