Bedroom Design Board – an Emily Henderson Knock-off

Emily Henderson is a design goddess.  
She just posted this bedroom yesterday morning, and of the people I follow on Pinterest, I saw this room pinned, and re-pinned by about 10 different friends (and when I say friends, I mean for the most part random Pinterest “friends”).
Anyway, this room is SO SIMPLE, but so lovely, so I just had to come up with an affordable version for the rest of us to mercilessly copy.

I love that everything in the room is light and bright, letting the headboard take center stage.  SO GOOD.

The chandelier MAKES this room, and so I kept the original chandelier in my inspiration.  It’s actually quite affordable from Shades of Light – if you’re ever in the market for a chandelier you’ll see that they can run up the cost quickly.

With the bedding, the headboard, the lamps, the nightstands, and decorative pillow, we’re talking about an entire room makeover for well under $1000.

Here’s my own version…

Where to Buy:
   1. Navy Tufted Headboard
   2. Washed Linen Bedding
   3. Rast Nightstand (for Campaign Makeover)
   4. Geometric Lamp
   5. Jonathan Adler Chandelier (minus the shades)
   6. Yellow Woven Throw Pillow

Pretty close to the original, rigghhhtttt???

You can actually get the headboard she used from Target, which is also REALLY affordable, but this option from Wayfair, was ~$300.  Even less costly than the Target version!

You’ll notice that the nightstands will require a little DIY, but it’s really minimal.

To make these into a pair of cute, and SUPER affordable nightstands, go pick up two Rast 3-drawer chests from Ikea ($30 each).  Pick up some brass hardware – 6 pulls per dresser, and a few brass brackets from the hardware store – and paint these dressers in a nice medium grey.  I like Benjamin Moore’s Stonington Grey.

I’m so in love with this space – makes me want to recreate it in real life!
