Modern Boho Bedroom Progress

12/12/16

I’ve been patiently trying to figure out what to put above our bed. Some people have said they don’t think it needed anything, but our room is pretty big, and from far back, the empty space just looked too empty. Of course art was my first idea but I feel like I’m the worst at picking it out. I love vintage and abstract pieces but always feel like something I might find at the thrift store would look awful in my home but amazing in someone else’s. So I put art on the back burner for a while. I kind of wanted to try and find something a little more abstract. Maybe a juju hat, or some baskets or a little woven wall hanging. After that failed, I decided to look at some art pieces again and see if I could make a decision for our little modern boho bedroom.

What do you think?! I’m in LOVE with it. I knew I wanted something with a hint of blue, but nothing overpowering and I kept being drawn to the more abstract pieces. This print from Minted is called Saint Mary’s Lake which I love because the church that Dan and I got married at is called Saint Mary’s of the Lake so it’s pretty much meant to be right? I didn’t even realize the name until I decided it was the one.

Minted is always my go to when I’m looking for art, and it really didn’t take me long to find this piece. It was one that originally stuck out to me and I just kept going back to it. I photoshopped it into a picture of our room to make sure it looked good and then I probably stared at that for like a week before I finally pulled the trigger. I also love reading the story behind the artist who created the art.

I think it’s the perfect piece that anchors the room and makes it feel complete – at least this little part of it 😉 There’s still a lot of work to do but this little update makes me feel like we’re getting closer and closer. Since the artwork is so large and makes a statement on it’s own, I didn’t want to distract away from it too much. I switched around the pillows on our bed and put this mudcloth one from one of my favorite Etsy shops – The Ivory Gull. I don’t know if it’s the change of seasons or what, but I’m feeling really drawn to whites and lighter colors, and a more simple and minimal look.

One thing I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of though is my giant tassel blanket. It’s still one of my favorite DIYs and it was so easy.

I still love our nightstands too. I got them from Target last year and added some different hardware and they’ve held up so great. If you’re on the hunt for some – check out THIS POST for more options (all under $200!).

Next up on our list, is replacing the carpet in here. Hopefully within the next couple of months. We’re leaning towards wood tile but we’re still in the process of figuring all that out. This is the original carpet and it’s so old and gross I can’t wait to get it out of here. I also want to replace the ceiling fan, which really isn’t bad, my FIL replaced it not too long ago, but I’d rather have a fun light up there.

I get so happy when I walk into our bedroom and see this gorgeous piece of artwork. I love seeing this space come together and can’t wait until it’s complete.

DON’T FORGET! There’s still time to enter the giveaway with Minted for a chance at $125 gift card to their site. Just CLICK HERE to enter.

Good luck friends and thank you to Minted for providing this gorgeous artwork!

      thank you so much Leanne! Most of the walls were already painted when we moved in so I’m not sure of the exact color. For the nursery and laundry room, I just used some white paint off the shelf from Home Depot!

    I love your art piece and your bedding choices. Just my opinion, of course, but I think you need larger lamps for balance and symmetry. Otherwise, I love what you’ve done in your new home and can’t wait to see how it comes together as you work with it.

      Thanks Pam! I love these lamps I found, but if I ever switch them out, I’ll definitely see how larger ones might look!

We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwel We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwellbox in Amish Country and never wanted to leave! More and more lately we’re realizing the importance of family and nurturing those relationships. This was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and enjoy an adventure together without worrying about capturing it all on our phones. We went for a hike, sat by the fire, ate wayyy too many pastries and cheeses and loved every minute of it. Sharing a video tour in stories today! If you’re in the area - we highly recommend a stay here!

As always, there’s two sizes for you to choose from and a short easy tutorial for you to follow to make the cute little wooden stand too 📅  My little office nook has gone through a lot of phases since we first moved in 4.5 years ago (swipe through to see them all!) and last year I finally upgraded my desk to one I could properly sit at 🤣 I took two Alex drawers from IKEA and added wood trim and caning for an elevated look and topped it off with a faux butcher block counter made from a $30 door slab. 👊🏻 the cherry on top for this space was our new skylight that instantly brightened it up and brings in so much beautiful natural light ☀️ this nook never felt quite right until now and I’m excited to spend more time here this year working on lots of exciting projects!

Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected I’m focusing on all the good that came out of it. I remember sitting with Dan New Year’s Eve last year and being so hopeful for what our future held and praying it would bring us another baby after we had been trying with no luck. I found out only a couple weeks later I was pregnant and that joy carried us through the year even though it brought fear and worry along with it. Besides welcoming our sweet baby girl into our lives we experienced so many other amazing things. The time we got to spend as a family is something we’ll always cherish. We worked on so many projects together and continued to pour our hearts into making this house a place we can call home. And we built A LOT of arches 🤣 Eloise was on the cover of a magazine, Hawk’s hair grew back in full force, we beat Covid and captain Christmas reminded us what the holiday season is really about.  but most importantly we leaned into god and relied on him more than ever to get us through each day. That’s the relationship I want to continue to work on and I’m grateful that this year nudged me closer to the One who deserves all the glory and continues to be faithful 🙏🏻 happy new year friends 🤍 cheers to 2021 🍾
wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your lo wishing you all a very merry Christmas!🎄your love and support means the absolute world to our little family - thank you for being here with us! 🤍 #averybertolinichristmas

Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every year: Dan and his dad get their giant artificial tree with colored blinking lights, handmade ornaments (and this year, tinsel) and I get my real tree with white lights and neutral ornaments. If you’ve been following all the Captain Christmas adventures on my stories you know I let Dan go all out and he hung tinsel garland and colored lights ALL over our house. I decorated a few small areas but I was getting SO unnecessarily stressed thinking about decorating our entire home and creating perfect content for you guys. So I said F it and it felt SO good. And it brought so much joy to him and the kids. And for that, it was worth it 🙌🏻 there’s nothing wrong with a beautifully styled Instagram worthy home but this time of year should be a reminder of the things that truly matter in life - and I don’t want to miss out on them. However you decorate for christmas I hope you can find joy in it 🙌🏻 and maybe let go of those picture perfect expectations a little 😉 captain Christmas stories are saved in a highlight! 🎄#2020 #breinspired #ohchristmastree
