Island Chic Master Makeover for under $1600!

I recently worked with a client originally from Florida who was desperate to update their "college feel" master bedroom to a retreat that reminded her of the beaches from home.  The trick was also complimenting the look to the trendy Uptown condo that they live in while being budget-conscious.  What we came up with was a hybrid of a glamorous master bedroom but with a beachy feel - something similar to what you might find in a chic island resort.  The best part was that everything you see here came under $1600, which includes my design fee!

BEFORE

The focal point of the room was the bed, which is why it was so important to create the Wow factor here.  We did this with a 5 foot-8 inch tall custom tufted upholstered headboard in a creamy linen fabric. 

Working with the blue paint already on the walls, I found updated but beachy fabrics to give a pop of color against the neutral headboard and ivory Pottery Barn linens.

The side table was a great find for $156 at Sleepy Poet Antique Mall with just a few touch ups of paint needed to get rid of the outdated gold trim and a little bronze spray paint to update the existing pulls.

The finishing touches were a bronze lamp from Big Lots for $35 with a Seagrass Lampshade from Ballard Designs.  The pearlized tile box was another antique find from Sleepy Poet as well as the turquoise Ball Jar "vase".  Some fresh hydrangeas complete the look that is glamorous island living 30 floors up in Uptown Charlotte.
