welcome to our bedroom so in today's vlog we are cozying up our bedroom by adding a fireplace and
seating area to our small little bedroom here and it is something i want to share with you because
i feel like this is something that is super easy to do and you can add it to any bedroom
fireplaces don't need to take up a lot of room and it can really cozy up any bedroom and we're kind
of transforming our bedroom into like a nordic feel aesthetic um really loving those vibes so
um having a fireplace definitely helps that so let's get started so here is our master
bedroom and we just finished putting in all this brand new hickory flooring which turned
out so so beautiful and we're still working on it we are working on getting our bedroom
back in order but because we are ripping out all our rooms upstairs basically because they're all
filled with carpet and we're replacing them with wood this is the perfect opportunity to do any
rearrangements or adjustments to the rooms since everything is like a fresh start so as you can
see on this wall here there is no baseboard trim so this is going to be the area that i'm going to
put our fireplace and like a little seating area as you can see from our bedroom here it is pretty
long this way the depth is shallow now our bed used to sit directly in the middle of this room
and i mean we had plenty of space on this side and this side of our bed so basically we're gonna be
moving our bed that was sitting in the middle of this room we're gonna push it closer to the window
we'll have plenty of space and then right here we'll put our fireplace and seating area so this
is something you can consider in your own home because no matter if it's deep or wide just moving
your bed around slightly and you can make a whole another little cute comfy little area in a room so
i bought a brand new area rug for our bedroom so i have to go get that we're gonna put that in place
and then i have a new headboard coming however it's going to be like a week until it gets here so
i'm going to have to get our bed back together and then we'll just have to put our headboard in later
now that we have the wood flooring i wanted a fluffy rug so i bought a new rug
and i'm obsessed with this rug i love the pattern and the design of it this is an eight by ten rug
and it is from boutique rugs is where i got this one and it's beautiful with our king size bed and
our two nightstands on each side this still is wider than all of it i wanted this rug wider than
everything so it gives the bed a nice like framed outline with this rug so when i got the rug i
could position where our bed and nightstands would be so i could see how much room we have over here
and so we have a huge nice little spot still right here on the side of our bed
i decided to update some of the prints here in our bedroom i had some like kind of boho style
prints in here but i found these really really pretty mountain foresty photos with kind of like
the autumn tones in it i always get my prints from etsy that's where i get all my prints on the walls
from they have such a great selection and you can find prints like this that come as a set of three
um you can find set of two four or five like all different sets you can find on there and
then you just download them and then you can get them printed to whatever size as you want and you
can make as many copies as you want so if you're looking for prints i highly recommend etsy so we
just got our fireplace in and it is so cute this is a 36 inch electric fireplace i got it on amazon
and we already have one of these that we put in our living room right there so this is a 50 inch
and for our bedroom i obviously didn't want it that big so this is the 36 inch we just love these
little electric fireplaces they have a beautiful flame they put out heat you can have just the
flame or you can have just the heat like there's all different settings we have to build this
around and we are legit doing the exact same a diy stucco surround as what we did here in our living
room we love the stucco e look looks like that and i actually did a complete diy tutorial on this
surround that fits this fireplace however we are going to change it up so you see on this
side where we have like this wood stacked so i'm gonna actually make an opening below the fireplace
so we can stack wood on the inside of the fireplace i saw a photo online and i loved
it so i'm like for the bedroom that would be perfect because we don't have like the
built-ins on each side to do that and i love the look of the stacked wood by the fireplace
so we're working on the frame right now we're just getting like the two by fours and everything put
together there it is so that's the width that's the height so we got 56 inches wide 48 inches tall
and then for depth is 10 inches so not super deep but we don't need it deep so it fits perfect and
there is our entire frame for our fireplace so it's just made out of 2x4 and some mdf
and now i'm going to start doing my faux stucco which is just made out of regular joint compound
i'm going to get that all smeared on here and we can get this fireplace installed so
like i said if you want to learn more about building this go check out my other vlog i
go into all the details on how we built this i didn't want to get too detailed in this vlog
and there you go just like that the fireplace is installed
so obviously we still have to do the mantel and then i have to do my little logs down here
our bedroom is complete and it is so so cozy and i love turning on the fireplace in the evenings
playing in bed just doing some reading having that glow just kind of light up the room at
night it's so cozy from our bedroom we have a view of the mountains which
i love looking at and we get really good sunsets over the mountains from here so it's perfect
and there it is just like that we cozied up our bedroom with a simple little fireplace and a cute
little seating area so easy to change the vibe of rooms just by adding different textures and colors
so that's what i'm calling my bedroom nordic theme i just finished my office remodel and i feel like
i kind of did the same vibes in there too if you're loving that vibe and you're looking to be
doing off the go check out that blog too because that was another fun remodel i'll be sure to link
all the items down in the description below the chair the pillow the sheepskin the cute little
sheepskin ottoman the headboard the fireplace the prince one thing i wanted to share is this little
noise machine i bought on amazon so i love the sound of like a crackling
fireplace but of course with an electric fireplace you're not gonna get that like
cozy crackling fireplace sound so i found this cute little noise machine on amazon that has
the crackling of fireplace sound effect so every night i turn the fireplace on and just like that
i got myself a crackling fireplace so definitely head to the description if you're looking for
something specific so thank you guys so much for watching this little room makeover with
a brand new fireplace and cozy little seating area so i hope you found some inspiration and
