Creating a Master Bedroom Retreat {before & design plan}

After taking a one month hiatus in the summer for our Operation Project Organization, we are back this month with our Master Bedrooms.

The Master Bedroom should be a retreat. It should be the one place in the home that is relaxing to go into and enjoyable. It should be...our Master is not right now. At one point in time it was. That point in time was before our daughter was born. So I am on a mission this month to turn our bedroom into the retreat it once was for us.
But there is one minor detail I am combating with - budget. Since we have adjusted some of our goals for the year and for our family, we are cutting our budgets back. So I will be working with a fun, small budget this month.

Without any further ado, I will hide my face in embarrassment when I show you our Master Bedroom in it's current state. Please don't judge. {mom look away!}

I told you it was bad...we have totally let our room go. Notice the massive piles of laundry, the rocking chair that doesn't belong there covered in outgrown baby clothes (the chair needs to be resprung and put back in my daughter's room), unmade bed, baby toys everywhere and nothing on the walls. I almost don't even know where to begin.

Since last month was our anniversary, I am on a mission to make it a retreat for us.

Here is my inspiration:

I am joining along with Jenny and going for a tropical theme this time. We got married in Cancun, so it is only appropriate that we are going for that type of retreat.

I love the orange and navy and aqua colors, but I may use coral instead. I would love a new headboard, but I don't know if it will happen. We are planning on having a large piece done for our wall, but we need to decide if we will do it or someone else will do it. And lastly, we would love to create a seating area to read and relax.

Here are my goals for this month with this project challenge:

• Make my bed every day (or at least once I figure out what we are doing). There really is something about having a made bed.
• Keep the floors free of clothing, clutter, etc.
• Get unnecessary items out of the room and bring in only those things that will make us happy
• Declutter our clothing and re-organize our drawers and closets

Along for the ride is also Jenny at Renovar Design. She is also tackling her Master Bedroom. Take a look at her before and plans.
