OUR BEDROOM REVEAL: A GORGEOUS, EUROPEAN-INSPIRED SPACE
Today is the day! I’m so thrilled to finally be sharing our bedroom reveal! If you saw our bedroom design board, then you know all about this cozy little European-inspired bedroom retreat that we’ve been working on. Our bedroom has seen many decorating updates through the years, but this one is by far our absolute favorite. Ours is a small space (only 12′ x 14′), that is literally maximized down to the very inch – every single one counts in here. It’s amazing how a small space can still feel luxurious, chic, sophisticated and so elegant. That was the look we wanted to achieve and I think we pulled it off! We were able to create this gorgeous bedroom update with just a few, but very key elements – all of which have elevated our bedroom to a whole new level and we are thrilled with the results. Come on in and join us to take the tour!

OUR EUROPEAN-INSPIRED BEDROOM REVEAL
Welcome to our European-inspired bedroom reveal! As I mentioned above, our bedroom is small and intimate, so the design choices we made for this space were all very intentional and thoughtfully planned.
The first thing we decided to do in here was the most transformative. We added wall moldings and new paint in a beautiful, serene color, Benjamin Moore Blue Lace 1625 – painted from the crown molding to the baseboard.
Painting the entire wall adds a sense of history to our space and the moldings reinforce the traditional look we were after.
We also updated our chandelier – which is so affordable! We elevated the look by adding these pleated chandelier shades and this ceiling medallion, again bringing in a more traditional feel to our bedroom reveal.

OUR GORGEOUS NEW ALBION NIGHTSTANDS
When we decided to update our bedroom we knew we wanted our bed moved back to this wall, to give our room a larger feel. The challenge was finding nightstands that were just the right size, both width and height.
Many of the pieces we had looked at were either too wide, too short, had little or no storage, or were the wrong style.
I knew I wanted something very elegant, understated and neutral. These gorgeous Albion nightstands from Layla Grace checked off every box we were searching for.

We love the pewter tone of the finish and the beautiful texture of these nightstands and their simple, elegant lines. They add the perfect amount of storage for all of our bedside needs and more.
They also have a built in, two-port USB outlet for charging devices which was an unexpected detail! The zinc pulls are chic, understated and sophisticated as well.
The lines are so pretty and mimic the shape of our headboard – a thoughtful detail that elevates our space. It protrudes slightly in the front for beautiful, added dimension.

A HANDSOME VINTAGE DRESSER
We found this elegant and handsome dresser on Facebook marketplace for $150 – what a steal for a gorgeous, solid wood piece! It has so much storage and the drawers are all cedar with dividers built in.
We were so lucky to have found this piece and we absolutely love the warm, dark, wood tone it brings to our rather light-hued space. It adds a masculine touch to this room, which we absolutely love.
It provided that perfect mix we were looking for and added to the European hotel feel we want in our bedroom. Aren’t all the details just gorgeous? There are a few minor imperfections, but that makes it even more special.
OUR CUSTOM WINDOW TREATMENTS
Our new custom drapes and bamboo shades are so gorgeous and add a rich and sophisticated, luxe look that help to create that European feel we wanted. We love the layered look of the drapes with the shades as well.
