Last year my friend
Kristina finished renovating her home from top to bottom. She selected all the fixtures and finishes herself while managing all the sub-contractors. The house turned out AMAZING but after undertaking such a huge project, being a mother to two boys, and co-running her blog
100 Layer Cake, she ran out of steam on the decor. I am all too familiar with how much work going through a renovation can be and now, as she is expecting her third babe, I teamed up with
Hotel Collection,
Home Design Studio and the
Martha Stewart Collection, all exclusive to
Macy’s, to give her a well deserved bedroom makeover! I am using the term makeover lightly as it is more of a bedroom finishing, since Kristina got off to a great start, but here is how I revamped and completed the space.
Kristina has great style, it’s modern and minimal while still warm and inviting. I wanted to keep her room bright and open and bring in pieces that finish off the space without taking too much away from her clean aesthetic. She already had
the awesome bed so that was what we used as a jumping off point.
I started by bringing in new bedding from
Macy’s. New
luxury sheets, new
duvet and
cover, new pillows, new
patterned shams and a
quilt… the whole shebang. Inspired by the pattern in the shams we went with a new rug that mimicked the geometric shapes. Next I selected side tables as nightstands and a bench to frame out the bed. If a room allows I always like to have stools, a bench, or a settee at the foot of a bed, to add an extra layer. In this case I went with a
warm leather bench that ticks both Kristina’s modern and natural boxes and anchors the light colored bedding.
Next I brought in smaller decor items that each serve a function, in addition to looking pretty, and give the room a more lived in feel. I chose
glass jewelry boxes to store Kristina’s baubles because they don’t take up too much visual weight but catch your eye with just the right amount of gold (much like the decanter of water on the other nightstand). The glass keeps things open and bright, like the rest of the space. I also brought in some
white vases in various sizes to hold greenery and to add dimension while still keeping it all light.
An
Ivory macramé wall hanging, some
blonde wood stools, storage baskets tucked under the nightstands, a pair of
large table lamps, and a
tray ready for morning coffee finish off the space.
And now for a couple before and afters…

As you can see the room was beautiful before. I actually love the rug but for the sake of a change we switched it out, Kristina was ready for something new.

Now Kristina and her husband have a serene space to call their own each night.

So so pretty. I love it! Congrats, Kristina! PS great baskets. Do suggest a particular shop to hunt for some?
Looks amazing. Wanna come over and finish my master ?
Great job Sarah! I love how you can feel your signature and still see you’ve taken Kristina’s style into account!
I have that bed, and love it. The room looks fantastic, you are so talented! The only downside is those side tables (as amazing as they look with the bed) took away the function of 2 drawers.
Wow, this is great. In love with that bed
Wow, I love those lamps! But the link to Joss and Main says they can’t find the match. Do you know where to get others like them?
Thanks!
Love your blog! And I love this room! Any chance you know the type of flooring she used in her room? They’re almost exactly what I’ve envisioned for my own home. Thanks in advance!

LOVE the vibrant appearance of this makeover! Did you paint the room as part of the revamp? If so, would love to know what paint brand + shade of white you used!
Ahhh…. This is where I want to sleep. Thank you for sharing! I’m sure it has just sold out, but I’ll double check; Are the stools from Zara? That’s where the link took me, but no stools. Say it isn’t so!
Hi Sherri,
Yes they were from zara and must have sold out, 🙁 boo!
