I am so excited about sharing our Christmas Master Bedroom with you today! It's a room that I don't share a whole lot. I'm really not sure why? It's always been a bit hard to photograph, and after repainting it this summer……I am convinced it was the color from when we built in 2004.
I can't even remember the previous color, but the new color is Ashwood by Benjamin Moore. It's OC-47.
I'd like to give a big thank you to the girls over at 11 Magnolia Lane for organizing such a fabulous tour with a different theme each day. It's a great way to concentrate on ideas to share with you.
Today's tour is all about Bedrooms. At the end of the post you will find the entire tour lineup + items to shop our bedroom look.
If you are hopping over from visiting Sincerely Marie Designs then welcome! Amanda has such a beautiful home. I always leave inspired.

Welcome to our master bedroom!
Round Tablecloth | Toile Pillow Covers | Soft Green and Cream Pillow Covers | Black & White Stripe Pillow Cases | Ruffled Euro Shams | Bed Skirt
While I did move pet pet toys and beds out of the room, I did want to leave things the way they pretty much are. I have these white quilted throws on the loveseat to protect them from the pets and us! LOL! Being empty nesters now, we watch TV in here 80% of the time so it's well used.
This rug is about 25 years old. It is a hand-knotted oriental. It's been in our previous home in the office, here in our upstairs living room and last year in the college apartment. We moved it back home when the kids changed apartments and got them a more contemporary rug. I was going to put it back upstairs when I decided to give it a go in here for the fall and winter months. I must say that while it's not exactly what I want here, it's growing on me.

This is why I love pillow covers so much! The toile covers I made several years ago have been folded up out of use. The colors worked well with the rug. The beautiful soft green and cream pillows were in the family room. I had already removed them for Christmas so to the bedroom they went! The black and white ticking stripe pillow covers are from our set from Red Land Cotton. I love mixing and matching. The gorgeous ruffled euro shams are new from Amazon. They are so fabulous that I'm going to get them for the other bedroom. I really prefer using neutral bases and then adding color and pattern with my smaller pillows.
I've been wanting to add a small Christmas tree to our room forever and finally did! I was in Big Lots in the fall when they were putting out their Christmas decor. I knew I'd have to go back and I'm glad that I did. I picked this tree up there and it is the perfect size for a bedroom. I'm tickled with it.
Bentley follows me all over when the camera equipment comes out. It's the funniest thing. He'll even move around based on where I'm shooting. You'll see in a minute! He really is the perfect prop.
I used to have heavy, custom window treatments in here. I replaced them a couple of years ago with these from Ikea. One of these days, I'll get around to hemming them.
We really enjoy having the fireplace with the gas logs in the bedroom. Would you believe that this TV is still hanging in? It's a plasma and about 13 years old, but still has a great picture.
I've debated painting the dresser to break up the set a bit, but my hubby isn't insync with me on that one. It's solid mahogany so it would be a big step to mess with that. I actually like it better with the Ashwood walls. Ashwood is a light gray with a greenish tint which I adore.
I really try to keep the mantel fairly neutral in here with the TV.
I made the dollar store vintage look garland several years ago for the master. I still love it in here. It just uses twine, book page circle cut-outs and snowflake ornaments. It was actually featured in Country Sampler Magazine last year.
I had a much fuller mantel last year in here, but went back to simpler. A lot of these ornaments and the gold garland was on the mantel previously. Isn't this tree a gem. I just adore the darling base.
I kept it fairly simple.
Santa has been guarding the hearth here since last Christmas. I adore his faux fur coat and hat.
Our bedroom while traditional in furnishing, has a rustic, vintage feel for the holidays. I've always been a fan of mingling different styles for an eclectic feel. Isn't that disco ball fabulous! Our daughter had this electric disco ball that would sit on a table. When her friends were over, they loved dancing around with it on. When she got older, it no longer worked. I pried the ball off of the motor and kept it. It is so fun to use during the holidays. It's a nice keepsake.
I love finding old and discarded urns at the thrift store. The are great for decor and storage.
That sweet boy finding his spot perfectly on the couch.
I hope you've found some ideas today create a relaxing bedroom for a long-winter's nap!

Christy says
It’s so elegant but cozy, Christy! I would be on that loveseat in front of the fire every single night. I also love your garland–it’s no surprise it’s had its own feature! Merry (early) Christmas and thanks so much for touring with us this year!
Christy says
Thanks so much, Christy! I am so honored to be included!
Constance Luck says
Your bedroom is lovely! I love the vintage tree Christmas tree project and all the other special touches in the room. Its very warm and cozy and I am sure you enjoy it very much. I must tell you that Bentley stole my heart. I had a West Highland Terrier, named Molly that was born in Ireland, and she was with me 17 1/2 years. She stole my heart like your Bentley – he is so precious.
Christy says
Thanks so much! Love hearing the story of your Molly. We’ve always had large labs. Our daughter wanted a small dog for her 15th birthday. We researched until we found one that would fit with our lab and active lifestyle. He just turned 6. He is amazing! He’s a big dog hiding in a little body. 🙂 He and our 1 year old cat are besties. Bentley is horribly spoiled with Ashlyn now in college. If you are on Insta, he has his own account that Ashlyn manages @bentleywestie
Marty says
I don’t remember seeing your bedroom before, it’s gorgeous. Love that 4 poster bed and the fireplace is wonderful. The DIY garland is so perfect. Beautiful tour.
Christy says
Thanks so much, Marty! I hadn’t been happy with it for a while. I painted it this summer and did a few bedding updates and now it’s blog ready! Merry Christmas sweet friend!
