The Master Bedroom isn’t a spot that’s gotten a lot of face time on zee ole blog. I’ve shown it on occasion, like when I paraded lamps around the house, or in this reader Q & A post, but in the almost four years (4?!?!?!) of blogging, nary a project or makeover has started in here.
Why is it our personal spaces are always the last to receive love and attention? Well, I declared it in my Home Goals 2014, this is the year that changes! Crane and Canopy has made that easier by jump starting our makeover with fresh new bedding.
We’d had this set from West Elm for several years, and I liked it just fine, but it always felt really dark and heavy. Maybe it’s the impending Spring, but I was ready for something lighter and brighter.
But you know I’ve still got to have color…so we chose the Linden Duvet with Coral Border. The cotton is deliciously soft, while still crisp and cool. Does that even make sense? Basically it feels like fancy hotel bedding. It’s crazy what a huge refresher just switching out the duvet and shams makes to the whole room.
I don’t want to rush the process, so it’s currently paired with pillows we already had on hand…black and white from Ikea (similar here), and monogram lumbar from Garnet Hill (huge fan of these and these, too) But I’m imagining a watercolor floral and maybe some leopard in the future.
To get the Euro Pillows so round and tall, I use a Euro insert, plus a standard bed pillow as fillers. Instead of tossing old, flat bed pillows, save them to make your decorative pillows fatter. And thus, phatter.
The pictures over the bed now live in the big Family Room gallery wall, and were replaced with this steal of a mirror.
It’s going to be so fun pairing this with other fabrics and patterns! I do try to keep the room from being overly feminine…since after all, a man lives in it, too. #scandalous
Creating an inviting room is even more important because our parents stay in our bedroom when we travel without the kids. During those times, I prepare it like a Guest Room, so they feel welcome and comfortable. My favorite things are to leave fresh flowers and water by the bed, provide extra throws and magazines, and make sure the wifi password and a charger is nearby.
I also keep the guest bath stocked with extra toiletries.
The new bedding has already made such a huge difference, that I can’t wait to get started on the rest of the room! Some of my friends are sharing their bedroom refreshers this week, as well as tips for preparing for guests, so be sure to follow the fun series! Have you started refreshing rooms for Spring yet?
the new bedding looks great Cassie! xo Kristin
Lovely! The color combination had me at hello – the coral and black against your pretty walls is beautiful! Well done!
love that pretty pop of coral color! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
It look so fresh and I adore that pop of coral!! It seems so versatile too…floral and a big of leopard sound amazing. We just moved a couple of months ago and I told myself that I would not let our master bedroom fall to the bottom of this list….you're making me want to keep my promise and get on that room already!
Looks fantastic Cassie!!
Such a huge difference from the darker duvet. Also super cute but I love how light and bright it is now! Great post, girl.
You know I love it!! 🙂 Love the pillows you paired with it too!!
So pretty. And I'm really into pretty right now… Love it!
Loving the Coral against your blue/gray walls! So pretty and fresh for Spring. You may have just motivated me to get going on new bedding!
Fatter…and thus PHATTER. HIFREAKINGLARIOUS. Love the new bedding!
looks great cassie! adore the coral. your wall color looks similar to my master color… comfort grey from sw. after threatening to do so for over a year, we finally switched the master rug with the family room rug yesterday. oh my… it's like i totally redecorated each room! can't believe i didn't get around to it sooner!
I love your spring bedding! It really is crazy how just the change of a duvet can brighten up a whole room. I just bought new bedding last week too. I feel like a big girl now. We had been using my honey's bed spread from his bachelor days…gross. I couldn't wait to sleep in our "new" bed! I hadn't slept that good in a long time.
Love what that coral and white did to your room – it almost looks like you updated the whole room! I've been waiting to pull the trigger on that mirror for ages, can't beat the price!
so pretty! It looks really good and that pop of coral is fantastic!
I love the new bedding! So bright and fresh, perfect for spring and summer. I love that Crane and Canopy line, it's so classic. Good for you guys for freshening up your bedroom, you deserve a nice place to lay your head at night! xo
Love the new white and coral…and I am always a fan of adding a little leopard in! 😉
This gives me inspiration for our new master bedroom, which I will be decorating this weekend when we move in! I love the simplicity of that bedding!
Very fresh and light! Love the ideas of soft floral and leopard! This post is giving me the itch to start hunting for some new bedding myself!

Love the new bedding! So fresh and perfect for spring!
What a difference some bedding can do! I hear ya, bedding is on my list for our refresh. Micah got the bedding when he graduated college, so it's definitely time!
Crisp white bedding, my favorite! Love the plan for a little leopard and floral, and do those Ikea pillows not go with every single thing you put with them?!!
Love the new bedding! It's so fresh and beautiful for spring! We recently made the switch to a white duvet and I'm in love. Makes me feel like I'm on vacation in a nice hotel!
Love the coral in here! It totally refreshes the space. Also actually really love it with the black and white pillows. Perfection!
xo,
Camila
You're so right, our bedrooms always seem to be the last on the love-list. We should really change that mentality. I love the coral bedding. Its so fresh and energizing. Totally puts me in the mood for Spring!
Love the new bedding – light and bright with the perfect pop of color!
WOW!!! so pretty…I'm loving the new bed linens….
A million thank yous for using the word "phatter" in this post.
And the bedding looks just lovely! Our bedding is starting to seem heavy and dark to me, too. I'm wanting to lighten and brighten in our bedroom.
I like the idea that you share here and I hope there is a fresh idea that can be shared in the future
If later there was a chance I would like to exchange thoughts with you
Thank you very much for sharing interesting things here
