Welcome to our bedroom.
I don't really have a true "before" picture of my bedroom, because it was the very first room I painted. Before I ever moved anything in to the house I painted the master bedroom white. I knew there was SO much about the house that I wasn't going to be able to change right away, so I at least wanted my room to get a fresh coat of paint. That way I wouldn't feel too much like I was just moving into someone else's house. The bedroom next to mine (where my neice lived for the first year and half I owned my home) was the same color and had the same carpet. So I'm including a photo of that room here to give you an idea of how it changed over time.
Probably the biggest update that completely changed the feel of the room was getting rid of that old, dark tan carpet. I am not against carpet, by any means. But this carpet was old and stained from the previous home owner. I had the popcorn ceilings scraped (just like in the living room and kitchen) and this made the room feel so much bigger! We have a large, vintage American flag (proudly) displayed over our bed. My dad helped be build the wood bed frame from. I love it, because it's kind of a blank canvas to display whatever we want on it. We change it up pretty frequently. Beside the bed we've framed and hung our marriage license, a cross-stitch wedding gift (it's the Kanye quote we included on our wedding invites) and a few other little pieces of art. 
My goal for the bedroom was a little different from the living room and kitchen. I wanted the room to feel a little more open and bright, but still be cozy. The mostly white walls and wood floors allows for the color the palette of the rest of the decor to lean more towards brown and warm tones. My favorite detail in the room is our one wall paper wall. I love the pop of pattern and gold! 
Thanks for letting me show you around our bedroom! xo. Emma

i love this! so beautiful and original! def will steal some inspo from here 😉
What a transformation!! For some reason, I had always thought that the Sleepover headboard DIY that you did would’ve been a permanent part of your room. The little lights were so cute, but I love the look and feel you have going in your current decor too.

Kanye West on wedding invites? It literally doesn’t get better than that!
Typically, this would not be my style at all, but I LOVE this room! Awesome! I think it might be because of the American flag behind your bed. There is just something about how it looks in this room…!!! 🙂
Love it. It’s beautiful.
Adorable room! I’m not a big “gold” fan but you make me like it. Looks awesome!
This whole house looks so YOU. i love those portraits. Its lovely!

Beautiful room. I love the wallpaper. I must say I could never share a bed that small with my husband! I would be tossing and turning!
emma, your home! i’m in love
Your room is so gorgeous! I love all of the little details! x

Stunning room! Everything is so different, yet all of the elements and colors come together so well. I’m a huge fan of the antler jewelry holder – I want to recreate it!
That gold wall – LOVE!

Wow, it’s so unique!! I normally hate white walls, it just feels so blah. But you really made it come to life with the warm accents.
Shut up this is GORGEOUS
such an AMAZING room!

Oh my goodness who made the small portraits of you and Trey, I’ve been looking for something similar for Christmas presents.
okay your house is honestly so cool. It’s so unique and inspiring to me! Thank you for showing us these pictures 🙂
That’s one of the most beautiful and creative bedrooms I have ever seen. Love it! The wallpaper is my fave too, and the antler necklace holder. I may have to copy this…
Pretty–fresh and bright, but I have to ask…what made you NOT paint the doors and/or the trim white (or another color)? The don’t appear to be solid wood…but maybe they are.. (?) They seem to sort of take away from the gorgeous wallpaper wall…just curious!
I have really been enjoying your house tour. You have done a lovely job. I especially like how you have hung your necklaces.
-Emily
so cool!
I love the pattern of the wall paper. Your hous is so nice!

Love the rustic but still kitschy and cute feel of this room!
even though this room looks different from the kitchen and living room, there is a certain flow- maybe it’s the antlers? the whole house feels like YOUR house, but this room is my favorite.
Lovely! I love the wall paper and the wood book tables by the wicker chair.
Love that gold wallpaper, where is it from? And the wood accents (especially the side table lap, I love!)
I love the lights and the hooks displaying the necklaces.

The wallpaper kills me. Did someone cross stitch the Kanye lyrics for you? I’ve been wanting to so something similar lately 🙂
Lovely! I love the wall paper and the wooden tables next to the wicker chair.
Your room is incredible!
WOW. That IS a big difference! What an amaaaaazingly beautiful room! So inspiring!
http://cuddlyasacactus.wordpress.com/
THAT WALLPAPER!!! So amazing. I also love the warm but neutral color palette. It looks very soothing and cozy.
Wow you did such a great job, it looks like something from a magazine!

I love that you display your marriage certificate. It’s sad to me when people just put it in a drawer with other important papers. That’s the only thing that really means you’re married!
xo Ashley
all i kept thinking as i looked at your photos was, “WOW! i love this bedroom!”. it looks great, emma! definitely inspiring me to mix things up in my room right now 🙂
I love the American flag / wood frame. Americana is my fave. What size of bed do you have? Just wondering because we have a double and yours looks comparable in size.

That headboard is amazing. I’d put shelves in it and fill it with books!
http://www.thestudentinthespecs.blogspot.com
After you took out the carpet, what type of flooring did you go for(wood, laminate, vinyl, etc..)? Did you have to hire someone, or do it yourself? Just curious because my home is mostly carpet and it needs to go! I am not a carpet person.
Cute coffee tables beside the chairs.

I wanted to keep some brown/wood in the room. So leaving the trim was a super easy (as in I just do nothing) way to do that. 🙂
-Emma
It’s actually a queen. I think it just looks smaller next to the wood frame bc it’s very oversized.
-Emma
I got wood laminate. It’s fake wood. 🙂 It was already in my living room and halls so it all matches, basically. And it was MUCH more affordable than wood. I had it installed professionally.
-Emma
I love the Americana themes running through the home! Reminds me of road trips through the USA.

This is so beautiful! Gives me so many ideas for the cottage.. I just have no idea where to start? Paint, carpet? so much work!! But great inspiration, great post!

I’m crazy loving on your bedroom Emma. My fav piece is the carved art beside your marriage cert. thanks for sharing your home. It looks like a great place to live.
I would love to see a post about how you changed your house when your bf (now husband) moved into your house, to make it feel like that place belonged to both of you and it wasn’t like he was staying in your house. Love your blog! Xx. (From Argentina, I always read but never write).
Its beautiful!I love it a lot my dear! 🙂

Love your room. I have a couple of questions:
Where did you get your awesome gold feather necklace?
Also, where did you get the cool patterned black necklace and apple necklace?
Can you tell I am on an accessorie kick today?
Thank you for sharing your fantastic bedroom. I love the vintage American flag.
Jenni
Oh wow. I’m not sure if anyone else already commented on this but that bronze statement necklace is amazing! Can I ask where it’s from?
So many things I adore about this, the lamp, the jewelry display, and the couple’s portraits especially.
It is so awesome! I love all of the gold accents as well.

It’s from Stella Dot, a few years ago. 🙂

It looks like it could be a quiet cabin in the woods!
Totally digging the flag. And those antler jewelry hangers are amazing. Like I really love them. Such a great space!

The wallpaper wall looks amazing.
If I had seen all these parts individually I don’t think I would have thought I would like them, but seeing them together they are amazing! I love the way it looks now. Especially your gold wall.
Wow, such an amazing bedroom, love it, those cushions are such fun prints! And I love that you have a cute basket of knitting/crochet!
such a pretty room! i love how you displayed your jewelry and the portraits of you and your husband!
xxoo,

LOVE your wallpaper!
obsessed with that wall paper! killer.
http://semiweeklyeats.blogspot.com/2013/09/work-outfit-1.html
I love the profile illustration of you and your hubby so much I think I want one of my own (with me and hubby, of course) and love the statement wallpaper. How big is your bed though? I can’t go back to having less than a king-sized bed!
I love how crisp and clean it is- looks awesome!

I am loving the rustic vibe of your home so far emma! It is very nice. I almost found a wicker chair like that one on the side of the road but it just hadn’t stood the test of time. I was so disappointed.

THAT WALL.
I love it.
Amazing!
Really lovely! I’m so enjoying your whole house tour and I like that you’re doing it room by room so we can really digest it all! Each room is exciting and fun but relaxing at the same time. I LOVE white walls with natural wood accents- perfect. I also love that you don’t have a GIANT bed! My husband and I don’t have a gigantic bed either and I love it. Plus there is more space in our small(ish) room without it being all bed! 🙂
I LOVE the flag!! We just bought a house and will be moving in next week some time. Eeeeep! We are planning to hang a flag in the living room. I just love it. Also, we have popcorn ceilings in a couple rooms and would like to remove it. Did you do it yourself or have someone do it? Just curious.
I love the jewelry hangers! How simple and chic! 🙂
I’m pretty much in love with everything about your bedroom! Especially that chair in the corner and the way you hung your jewelry. So cute, thanks for sharing 🙂
Some really great pieces in there. Love the little corner with the chair and the hanging light fixtures. We have a similar arrangement but totally different style in our bedroom 🙂
Amazing!!
Where did you get those little knobs for the DIY jewelry display? They look tiny compared to the ones i’ve thrifted and have seen around.
I got them all at Hobby Lobby. I didn’t even realize they sold hardware until I walked past it one day.
-Emma
You’re house is so amazing! Hoping one day I can do awesome things in my own home 🙂
So pretty! Especially those jewelry holders. Love them A LOT. Such a sweet home!
How did you go about finding someone to scrape your ceilings, and did it cost a million dollars? I have them in my house and hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.
This is amazing space. Love the jewelry storage and that painting of Emma and Trey.

You have such fantastic taste! I love the headboard and the wallpaper. Lovely.
Is the wedding photo on the bedside table a DIY piece following your instructions for doing a photo transfer using gel medium?
Great job Emma&Trey. Your bedroom is so cozy, yet classy and stylish!

It looks amazing Emma, I love the wall paper a lot, and the tiger print. And the feathers on the wall. And the framed certificate. So basically, all of it. 🙂
Wow this all looks so amazing! Truly inspirational xxx
soooo in love with the decor in your house! truly unique style!
Simple amazing!

How did you and your dad make the bed frame? So gorgeous!
The wall of feathers!!! Gah! Love it so much!!
Emma, I love your bedroom – it is very unique and very “you”. Love the headboard and love the jewelry “hanging racks” –
My question is about the beautiful notebook/binder on the side table – I have been looking for a black and white binder like that for months – is it a russell + hazel binder?
Cool tiger. He looks…proud.
(Name it!!)

Is there a post about the DIY knob jewelry display?? thanks SO much for sharing!! I love ABM!
There seems to be a wall you haven’t shown up close, and it looks like you have a bunch of white feathers either individually washi taped or thumbtacked to the wall… Is that right? Looks intriguing and cool. Also love the sophisticated and warm glimmer of the wallpaper wall.
i love the framed marriage certificate and wedding mementos all around the room! so special and romantic!
xx
Beautiful! That exact paint colour is what I’ve been looking for – I’ve tried 3 different ones and have not been happy with it but maybe it’ll be 4th time lucky?

I love the wall with the golden spirals! How did you make the picture on the wooden plank that is standing by the mirror? Its so rustic, would love to make one like that.
very cool bedroom!

I am in love with your duvet cover! Is it still for sale anywhere on the UO website? Matches perfectly with the throw pillows and the American flag, somehow. Your decorating style is so unique.
Cheers,

I want to see your closet!
I especially enjoyed your necklaces corner, feels so cozy. Also the way you displayed the necklaces is super!
Can’t get enough of this room! It’s simply gorgeous!
Hi Emma, What a beautiful room! Well done! Your floors are stunning, would you mind sharing the details on those or point me to a post where you have discussed them before please?
thank you much!
Lovely! I love how airy this room is and the style…Girl…so pretty! 🙂

Hi! I am blown away by your bedroom. I have been returning to these pictures again and again (since we just moved into a new rental). I was wondering if you had any ideas as to what I might search for to find similar vintage hanging lanterns. I would love to incorporate something similar and I cannot get them out of my head. Thanks!
