Hello again dear friends! If you have been following along you know I am in the beginning stages of giving my home that coastal farmhouse look I love so much. And I am so excited because I am about to transform another room in my house. I know, I must be nuts, cause I just finished my son’s farmhouse bathroom transformation.

I am really excited though because this time the transformation is for me! And yes, while I already gave “my” laundry room a facelift, at least in this room, I won’t have to work… I can actually rest and relax at the end of the day in it.

It was driving me nuts actually since we don’t do anything to a room until we paint the walls, cause I mean, think about it!? What’s the point in setting up all the furniture if you’re just going to have to move it again and paint the walls.

And of course while it sounds like decent reasoning, you end up sleeping on your mattress on the floor for longer than you want… ugh… and that is never fun.

Nope!

Not to mention you don’t want to show anyone a tour of your house! 🙈

But alas! I get my coastal farmhouse master bedroom, however, you need to see the BEFORE pictures.

Oh the horror!

I have been living inside these mustard yellow walls that remind me of the inside of our favorite local Mexican restaurant (which by the way has the best food!) and it’s hurting my eyes.

I wasn’t lying when I told you about sleeping on the floor… heck I was too lazy to put a cover on my duvet! Ha! 

The view below is what you see when you walk in.

And what is up with those cornice boards!?

There were just too many when we moved in and they left them all there! Like we were going to use them or something… I am happy to report, those are outta there!

Here is the other side (where I was standing). The double-doors is the entrance into the room and the right doorway is my closet.  The door all the way to the left is the entrance into the master bathroom.

This room is not as large as my last one, however, I actually like it that way because instead of having to have a sitting area and office area and entrance area like the last master bedroom we had, this will JUST be a master bedroom retreat.

So now for the plans…

The color on the walls has to go! I want a cool teal with grey undertones. And absolutely NO texture! And I plan on adding shiplap to the back focal wall.

Here is my vision…along with sources:

Coastal Farmhouse Master Bedroom

Bed

The bed shown above is actually from Ashley Furniture. That was what our queen bed looked liked until we needed a King size one and found this similar one on Craigslist and gave it a makeover to match the rest of the furniture.

Bench – I have always wanted a bench at the foot of my bed. It will be great for storage and getting ready in the morning so I look forward to adding it to our bedroom.

Rug – I have been eyeing this rug FOREVER! It has this coastal blue pattern to it and it has that distressed look that gives it the farmhouse touch! I need a good size rug since I will be covering the yellow stain the original homeowners left behind on the carpet from the area rug they had in the room.

It won’t come out… we tried… with the best carpet cleaners in town… 

I’m using Wikibuy to track the price of it online to make sure I get the best deal!

FYI… If you have not used Wikibuy on your computer, check it out! It is a new Chrome extension that finds the best prices for you online. And the coolest part is that it shows you past prices of that product, so you can see if the price will likely drop back down in the future!

It’s actually a pretty cool tool and now that I have started using it I will continue to do so for the best deals!

Lamp – I purchased these lamps for our master in the last house and will be using them in this one as well. I love how they look!

Carved Art  – I also love how carved art looks and I hope to get a couple of pieces like this or perhaps a large one for above the bed.

Chair – I’m looking for an armchair as I have a small nook I think it would look nice in and the wicker gives the room more of the coastal feel. I just hope I can afford one since they are pretty pricey!

Curtains  – I plan on creating the feel that we are near the coast by adding simple sheer white curtains.

Small Recycled Glass Vase  – I love this kind of glass and already have a good size collection.

Tall Recycled Glass Vase 

Faux Fiddle Leaf Fig Plant – I have a real fiddle leaf fig but it hasn’t grown much so I may resort to a faux plant like this one.

While not everything might be exactly the same when I actually transform the space (it all depends on the budget)  this is pretty much my end goal for my space.

I hope to keep it light and airy and not too feminine for the hubby. I cannot wait to start putting it together.

I hope you like the plans for my coastal farmhouse master bedroom. I cannot wait to share the progress and keep you posted on updates.

Also, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so that you can actually watch the transformation videos and tours  just like I did with my son’s bathroom.

Boy’s Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover Project:

This bathroom is for our young boy. The previous homeowners painted the walls dark, kept the original builder grade fixtures and wore the cabinets out over time. This bathroom was made over to create a farmhouse feel with masculine touches but kept light walls since the room has no natural light.

Supplies:

• FrogTape Multi-Surface Painter’s Tape
• American Line Pro Mini Roller Tray
• Contractor Series Microfiber Mini Rollers
• 2.5″ Angled Paint Brush
• Sanding Paper – 180 and 220 Grit
• Standard Paint Rollers
• Purdy Standard Paint Tray
• Purdy Standard Paint Tray Liner 

Paint:

• SW 9178 In the Navy – Emerald Satin
• Repose Gray SW 7015 Super Paint – Satin
• Multi-purpose latex primer
• Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel – Extra White in Semi-Gloss
• Special Walnut Minwax Wood Stain
• Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish – Satin

You can also watch the video on this transformation here:

Here is what the space looked like before…

It was pretty dark (ahem, 2 shades of brown…. in a bathroom…. need I say more?)

The light fixture was builder grade, along with the cabinet and pulls… and that poor cabinet had seen better days.

It definitely needed a facelift… STAT! 

Our budget did not include a new countertop, faucet or floors, but we figured since they were in decent shape, we would hold off and tackle everything else for now.

Here are the steps we took and what you can do to achieve a similar look:

Farmhouse Bathroom Makeover

Step 1:

Remove all items from the bathroom and clean everything thoroughly. This includes walls, cabinets, floors etc.

Step 2:  

Remove all doors and cabinet pulls from cabinets and remove light fixture if you wish to replace it as well.

Step 3:

Sand doors and cabinet to smooth any imperfections. We sanded the wainscoting on the walls to remove some of the excess paint and paint drips and we patched areas with spackling in order to create smooth walls.

Also, if there are areas around the bathtub or sink that need to be caulked, go ahead and do that now.

Step 4: 

Prime the walls, cabinets and wainscoting if applicable ( sooooooo much primer!). One coat is sufficient though.

Step 5: 

Paint the cabinet and doors with SW In the Navy in Satin. For this dark color we applied 4 coats (and in some places 5) for a smooth and even consistency. Let the paint dry completely in between coats.

It will look terrible at first because it is such a dark color, but don’t fret, the more coats the better it gets! Hang in there!

After coats:

Step 6:

While painting the cabinets, paint the wainscoting Extra White. We used semi-gloss to match the rest of the trim in the house and for easy cleaning, especially in a bathroom. Apply two coats making sure to let dry completely in between coats.

Tip: For the area behind the toilet, you can remove the toilet tank in order to make it more accessible and easier to paint.

Step 7:

Since the bathroom has no natural light and is small in size, we decided to keep the top portion of the wall neutral and light so we chose SW Repose Gray (again in Satin since this is a bathroom). Apply two coats.

Step 8:

Once the cabinet is completely dry, use Polycrylic in order to seal the paint and create a protective barrier for your cabinet. We applied 3 coats per the product recommendation.

See how the paint looks so different below? 

I prefer to use an angled brush when applying Polycrylic because I have found that rollers create bubbles on the surface. Work in long even strokes. You can also sand in between coats.

Step 9:

Once all is dry you can remove the painter’s tape, add new hardware on your cabinets and install your light fixture.

For an added touch, we decided to use wood to frame the mirror. We stained them with Special Walnut Stain. Be sure to seal with your preferred wax or Polycrylic since this is a high splash zone.

Step 10:

Cut them to fit your mirror and use liquid nails to install.

We added small L brackets on each corner that we spray-painted to add a more rustic look to the mirror.

Step 11:

Finally, clear out all supplies, clean the bathroom of any debris and add your accessories to your bathroom!

Now, so far this bathroom is pretty bare. We will be adding some custom shelves over the toilet and a new shower curtain with navy and white stripes…. (my son says the bathroom needs more blue).

I also plan on adding towel hooks and more accessories.

Don’t forget to pin this project if you liked it!

But for now I am totally happy with how this bathroom looks! I will be sharing the next updates as well so stay tuned for that!
