Hi guys, welcome back to my channel and to an extreme bedroom transformation. I'm so excited
to share this with you guys. If you've followed me for a while, then you will
know we started renovating this house about 10 months ago in November 2021. Since then,
we have actually been sharing and bunking in with the kids. We haven't had our own space
and it's just taken what feels like a long time. It's such a dream to have a finished
bedroom and we're just so pleased with it. I'm going to do this video a little bit
differently than I normally do. Often I'll just show you the end result and give you a tour. But
I'm also going to show you the setup in this video. We've spent the last two days putting
everything in place, so I filmed it and I thought I would show you how we set it up,
why we chose certain things as well. If you don't remember, this bedroom was
originally the fifth bedroom in the house when we moved in. It was quite small,
it had the same door, but it was quite a narrow room. The previous owner used it as a bit of a
games room. He would play darts in it, he had a fridge in it for beer and stuff. There was
Jimmy Hendrix on the wall. It was a bit of a man cave type thing. But when we extended downstairs,
we got rid of the conservatory and did a proper extension, which then meant we could actually
extend on top of that new part of the house. So we decided to extend this room just to the left
here and just make the primary bedroom bigger and also give it the best view, because this is
at the back of the house where you can see fields. Yeah, it's just unrecognizable. I'll show you the
whole setup and some befores and then I'll give you a good tour and show you everything in it.
Okay, if I take you back to about two days ago, this is what the room looked like. It was
completely empty and it had just been carpeted. If you've been following my updates then you may
have noticed that this room has actually pretty much been ready for weeks in terms of the walls
had been painted, the lights were up and we were ready to go with carpet. But we really
held off because work was still going on in our ensuite and we knew builders and plumbers
would be coming through this room, so we didn't want to put the carpet down and risk it getting
dirty. But it's all down now. This is our walk-in wardrobe, which I do sort out a bit later on.
But the first thing we're going to do in terms of setting up the room is actually put down a
big rug. This is going to go half under our bed and then half out. We really like that look and
our designer does as well. We've got rugs in pretty much every bedroom now and it's really
effective. This one is from Ruggable, which is great because it is washable. Although,
this rug looked so big when it arrived, I thought, "Would that even fit in our washing machine?"
But anyway, Matt's going to build the bed. We got a simple black frame bed from a place called
Newmar and we built it. We're just adding on the headboard. This did actually take Matt about half
a day to build. A hack that I totally recommend is to put all of the tools that come with the bed and
the instructions into a little baggy and then tape that onto the back of your bed. This will save you
when you actually come to either move or just take the bed down. It made our move so much easier.
Then we're going to put our new mattress on our bed. If anyone's interested, we went for a super
king size bed. That is what our previous one was, and it's the perfect size if you still have
little people come and get in the middle of your bed, as well, there's loads of space. Next up,
I'm just going to put the sheets on the bed. We've got some really nice soft white ones from Next and
we've got about six or seven throw cushions as well. I'll try and link as many products as I
can in the description down below. But I'm just going to make all the pillows, try and chop them.
They're not actually the most chopable pillows in the world, but hopefully that looks nice.
Kiki was loving the bed. Then I'm going to put this throw on the end,
and I was struggling how to put it on because of the bars at the end.
But anyway, I'm now going to put our bedside tables next to the bed. These were from a place
called the Little White Box, I believe. Then I'm also going to put a little olive tree in
the corner of the room. This is a faux one and Matt is going to put up some art on the wall.
We have three canvases here, which are perfect colors for the room. Our designer, Abby, chose
them. Then we're also going to have one other big canvas above the bed. This is my dressing table.
We got this from a place called Harvey George, you may remember they built the boys' units in
their Jack and Jill room and we just really liked their stuff, so we went back, got this.
I'm just so excited to have a spot for all of my makeup and hair stuff. This is
the canvas going right above the bed. That's Matt measuring it. Also, it fits perfectly in
the center and that is most of the setup. Now I'll actually give you a tour. Okay,
so now that you've seen the setup, I wanted to give you a full walkthrough and my husband Matt
is behind the camera. He's got a mic as well so he can chip in. He's very involved. I think
everyone thinks it's me, but I can't take all the credit you guys. This door is the original
door that was on this room, but the room actually stopped where you can see this beam here. We've
built a stud wall, so behind here is our walk in wardrobe, which I'll show you in a second.
But yeah, obviously all of this to the left, to your right is all extended. Because we were
extending, we also went with a vaulted ceiling because we didn't need any more loft space.
If you've followed me for years, you'll remember we did this in Fraser's old bedroom in our old
house when we extended. We basically did that again, giving the room loads of height
and we put some Velux in to add some light and adjust. As you walk in it feels really bright,
really airy as well. I don't know where to start actually, but the paint color is a color called
Clock Face. We used it in the boys' bedrooms as well. It's from the Little Green Company.
Let's talk about the bed because that is quite a feature, isn't it? So this was from a place
called Newmar. Was it Newmar? Yeah, New.mar or something.
Yeah, New.mar, but wanted a black framed four poster bed, didn't we, doll?
Yeah. All the inspo picks he was finding had
that basically and we did work with our designer again, Ginger Nest. I'll link her down below if
you're interested. But she obviously helped us choose a lot of these pieces as well. The bed,
nice and simple, it sits on this rug, which again is a Ruggable rug. We just really liked
it and we liked that it is washable if you need to wash it. The rug is a really good size. And
one thing that hasn't actually arrived yet, but I couldn't wait to show you guys the room,
but it's coming next week, we're having a little sofa at the end of the bed so you can actually sit
there and you can take in the view. We had a huge picture window put in to really be able to have
that amazing view to see the fields and also to bring loads of light into the space as well. We've
got electric blinds on both of the windows, so you can easily get it dark for bedtime.
Over here in the corner we have a little faux olive tree. It's an olive
tree isn't it? Yeah.
And the carpet is the same one that we have in Caleb's bedroom. We love it so much,
we got it from a place called Alternative Flooring and it's the color Milkshake Rhubarb. It's wool,
it just feels really squishy and nice. We got new skirting as well from Skirting World and I'll try
and link as much of this in the description. When this arrived it looked so big, we were worried
that it wouldn't work, but actually now that it's down, it looks really nice. We've got lots of new
art as well. We've got three canvases here and one over the bed as well. This was from a place
in America called Green Lily. Our designer chose it, like all the right colors. We got
a column rad here. We actually have two in this room because obviously it's a bigger space now.
We've basically put these everywhere else in the house. We've got that and then bedside
tables. I don't know if you want to show the one over there. What was the company called?
Little White Box, I think you just found it on Google. Yeah, they're really sweet.
Yeah, they're really, really cute and we're thinking of maybe getting a piece of glass made
to go on top to protect it. That's a good idea.
I know, because we always do that. And then the lamps are from oh, Graham and Green.
Yeah, Graham and Green. Graham and Green. These were small,
they're huge. One was wonky.
But the large obviously would've been absolutely huge. These are the small ones,
obviously goes with the whole color scheme. Got a lot of throw
cushions. I don't know what to say about these. I think it was from a place called Nkuku or
something. N-K-U-K-U. Oh yeah, I know, Nkuku.
Yeah, one of them brands. Yeah, I feel like we need to
maybe shove a bit more into them. Yeah, you had a hack, which you told
me after I'd ordered the inserts to get something bigger. Cheers for that next time.
Then where was this throw from again? That's from Zara.
Yeah, it's Zara Home and it's so heavy. You said it's a decorator sheet?
No, it looks like a decorator sheet, but it's really heavy, really good quality.
Kiki on our bed that she's not meant to be on.
Yeah, Kiki goes with the color scheme, don't you? That's why we got you. I'm kidding.
Then we got this black tray from H&M Home. All the inspo pics had a little tray on the bed.
That's for our breakfast in bed, darling. Oh, yeah.
It's never going to happen. We always do that. And then one of
our favorite features in this room has to be the light. This is from West Elm. We actually have
the same light downstairs above our dining table in black. But because we had the room in here, we
got an even larger one and we got it in bronze. It looks really nice at night when it's all lit up.
We love that and obviously we had the height to do it in here.
Then this is my dressing table area, so excited about this space. I'll be able to do my hair,
do my makeup here. We had the dressing table made by Harvey George. They actually made the
boys' bathroom units in their Jack and Jill bathroom. We just loved the quality
of their stuff, so we got this and then they made the stone. What is this? Quartz top.
Top, yeah. Marble top to it. We've got loads and
loads of storage for makeup, hair. Loads of stuff I can put in here. This chair is from Dunelm and
it's the same as our dining chairs downstairs. So if we ever need an extra chair downstairs as well,
we can bring that down. We've got some faux eucalyptus here and then some prints from Desenio
on the wall. Some simple ones that go with the color scheme, but that one is personalized with
Matt and Emily. Then we had our electrician put two lights in so when you're doing your makeup you
are actually lit up. He put that there and then we got this mirror that's just a nice round one.
Nice. Yeah,
we've got this dressing area. I will do a full organizational video because I haven't actually
put anything in it yet. And I have another mirror over here, which is so heavy. When Matt was
putting it up, it's iron, isn't it? Yeah.
Really, really heavy. Where was this from? Same place as, I think it's William Wood.
Oh, from the same. Yeah, we'll link it.
Yeah. And then we had lights put on top of it as well to light it up if you want to.
We'll insert some lit shots of the room because obviously you got the other lights, haven't you?
We had those little ones put on the [inaudible 00:13:17] thinks I'm weird, actually.
No, it looks so nice, doesn't it? Mood lighting.
Yeah, this huge window and a lot of the glass is from Cherwell,
but yeah. They did the sliders
as well. They did all the glass. Yeah. Yeah, we've got another little
rad here. We feel like now this mirror is up, we feel like we need something here,
but we don't know what. So let me know if you have any ideas. We're thinking maybe some family photos
because we don't have any in this room yet. Then if you come this way, just got the dream walk
in wardrobe. As you walk in as well, the lights just turn on, which is so handy. You just walk in,
obviously this is my side. This is Matt's. Yeah, I've lost a bit of weight.
He's got zero clothes yet. They're basically all in Jackson's room, but I've put-
But until yesterday everything was taking up that side as well.
Yeah, well. We've got drawers at the bottom. I said it in a previous blog, but
they're the Love Island drawers from Ikea. They're Ikea drawers, they are Love Island.
They're Ikea, but then we were watching Love Island, we're like, "Those are the drawers."
Then up above, our carpenter built some shelves so we can put shoes, handbags, hats for Matt,
as well up the top. And at the end we have some space for longer hanging bits as well. Yeah,
just so excited to have this space. Then, oh yeah, here it's a door. Looks
like a window, but it is a door. When the balcony comes you'll be able to just step out,
have a coffee, we're going to put a little table and chairs out there. Take in the
view and just shout at the kids in the garden. Throw stuff to them, put our laundry out there.
Yeah, so really excited. Obviously, I'll show you guys when the balcony comes, but I was just
desperate to show you the progress so far. Then behind Matt, we also have our ensuite.
It's not completely, completely done, it's pretty much done. Anyway, I'll do a full tour
when it's all completely done. But we had quite a few questions about this door, haven't we?
Yeah. We just went for frosted glass because
it's just going to be me and Matt. I think that's pretty much everything except for maybe the light
switches. They were from Corston and Matt, maybe we'll insert some footage of all the different
settings. But Matt thought long and hard about all the different types of settings we would want.
There's loads of mood lighting and stuff in here. We stayed in here for the first time last night.
I just felt like I can't believe this is actually ours. It feels better than any hotel
or anything we've ever stayed in and we're just so pleased to have this space. When we moved in,
a lot of people were like, "I don't see why you're changing the master bedroom. I don't think you
have to," and stuff. But now you can hopefully see why. We've got the whole back of the house.
We have the best view, which realistically we're going to enjoy more than the kids would have.
Yeah, we're so pleased. I hope you liked it. Let me know either way in the comments. Thumbs
down if you don't, thumbs up if you like it. Yeah, loads more room tours to come. Yeah,
thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in my next one.
