This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

My room is finished! Ā My room is finished! Ā I’m shouting it from the rooftops! Ā My room is finished!

Six weeks ago, my bedroom was so sad. Ā It was a great space, but everything about the decor was just… bland. Ā Seriously. Ā There was literally nothing on my walls. Ā Here’s proof of its blandness:

Before: This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

With 2.5-year-old twins running around, my bedroom is really the only place in the house that is all mine. Ā I decided that it was time I did something nice for myself. Ā I’m considering this room to be my Mother’s Day present to me!

The One Room Challenge

I recently heard about the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling it Home. Ā The ChallengeĀ gives you six weeks to transform a space. Ā Six weeks. Ā There’s nothing like a challenge and a hard deadline to keep you on track!

The One Room Challenge

Several years ago, I took a trip to Boston over the 4th of July. Ā We also went out to Cape Cod, and I fell in love. Ā What’s not to love? Ā Seafood. Ā Sam Adams Beer. Beautiful beaches. Ā Amazing homes and style. Ā Ocean views. Ā Whales. Ā The Kennedys. Ā Sigh…

So that was the start of the inspiration for my bedroom’s mood board.

Mood Board for a Cape Cod inspired bedroom

I’ve shared 5 weeks of progress with you all. Ā If you’re just tuning in and want to catch up, here you go:

In week 1,Ā  I introduced you to my plan for a Cape Cod themed bedroom.

In week 2, I ā€œzoned out and lightened up.ā€Ā  I created a designated reading corner (zone) and lightened up my furniture.Ā  No more black and dark stain… Hello white and bright!

In week 3, I got organized.Ā  Now that all of my clutter is out of the way, I’m ready to decorate and feel more inspired.

In week 4, it was all about my very empty walls and windows.Ā  That all changed with some major DIY decor projects.

InĀ week 5,Ā I focused on textiles and details.

So here we are in week 6 with the big reveal. Ā I’m not going to lie… Up until about a few hours ago, I was still working on last minute details and projects. Ā What can I say? Ā I work best under pressure. Ā Oh, and there is that small detail of it being the end of the semester in my final year of law school. Ā Did I mention that I took my last ever law school final this morning? Ā Party!!!

Get ready for the big reveal and a TON of pictures!

Cape Cod Inspired Master Bedroom

This room is definitely mommy’s space (note the child proof cover on the door knob).

This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

My budget was pretty teeny, so I borrowed itemsĀ from other rooms, made a TONĀ of DIY decor, and made a few trips to HomeGoods and Target.

This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

The duvet and throw are both from Target. Ā I made the navy pillow using Nate Berkus fabric from Joann Fabrics. Ā The natural diamond rug came from Target, too.

When you rent and have an obsession with plank walls, you have to get extra creative.Ā  The faux wood panel behind my bed is actually a roll of paper made for teachers to use on their cork boards.Ā  Read all about the wall here for the paper source and DIY tutorial.

I made use of wicker baskets (Home Goods) – places where I can toss my shoes and purse. Ā They’re definitely not safe in the entry with my twins!

A Reading Corner

This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

I do plenty of reading – both for school and pleasure. Ā I really wanted a reading chair in my bedroom, so I stole the chair in the twins’ room that really wasn’t being used. Ā The ottoman was stolen from the living room (purchased at Target a couple of years ago).

The pillow is from Target as well. Ā Shocking, I know. Ā I need a Target-intervention.

Then I scored a bookshelf at my favorite thrift store for $7. Ā No, that’s not a typo. Ā I really bought it for $7. Ā A little bit ofĀ chalk paint brought the shelf up to speed.

Aren’t thoseĀ little wooden houses adorable? Ā They’re available here.

Gallery Wall

This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

This wall was by far the most work of anything in my room. Ā By using thrift store frames, my own photography, and some DIY skills, I was able to put together this wall for under $50.

The photosĀ are my own from a pre-twins trip to Alaska. Ā TheĀ buoy patent printĀ is from Zazzle. Ā I love their selection of posters and prints.

The canvas has a quote from one of my favorite songs. Ā It’s a DIY project using hot glue and acrylic paint. Ā Tutorial coming soon!

The whale tail is also a DIY-er.

This sea urchin specimen art was a DIY project using these adorable shells – tutorial is here.

A New Dresser

I got rid of my black sideboard and opted for white instead. Ā I’m going through a major white obsessive phase. Ā This works really well with two toddlers in the house. Ā This Ikea Hemnes dresser is such a classic piece at a great price.

The Cape Cod shingles inspired art was another DIY project. Ā I cut plywood, stained and framed it.

Sailboat and coral decor are both from HomeGoods.

The “coastal” decoration was on clearance at the fabric store… for one dollar!

Peek Inside my Closets

Decorating and DIY-ing were a huge part of this Challenge, but so was organizing. Ā By bringing in the new dresser, I was able to contain much of my crafting clutter that had spread across my room and into the hall closet. Ā That hall closet is my next “big” project, so it was important to clear it out now.This is a beautiful Cape Cod coastal inspired master bedroom full of TONS of DIY and affordable home decor projects. A peaceful retreat and organized space.

My “cloffice” – office in a closet – was finished earlier this year, but I did some major organizing in my clothes closet with storage cubes. Ā It clearly isn’t natural for me to enjoy organizing this much!

So there you have it. Ā There were so many DIY projects in this room. Ā There Ā is no way I could do them all justice in one post. Ā Look forward to plenty of DIY tutorials over the summer as I get caught up with writing and editing.

    This is by far your best project ever!! Unbelievable. I’m ready for the hot glue tutorial for the “beyond the sea” picture- this would be fast and inexpensive art for our office at work. I really like the wall with the mirror – opens your room up so much.
    I’m inspired by the fabric/pillows……….I need this for my bed, another easy way to ‘liven up’ a room without a lot of time or money.
    Well done…………well done.

    What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful weekend.

Great job on everything, looks like a lot of work went into pulling it all together in such a short amount of time. I’ll be stealing your basket idea for the shoes and purse. They look so good placed their and very neat and tidy.
    Thanks for the great ideas and the inspiration.
