Hello Everyone!
Have you ever changed the furniture layout in a
room and then been pleasantly surprised at the result?
I decided on a whim this past week to do just that to our
master bedroom. After measuring the room we determined
the room would appear larger and have a much better flow.
Join me for my master bedroom metamorphosis tour.
The bed and triple dresser changed locations.
All photos enlarge to see details.
It had been this layout for over 4 years.
I wish I had done this change much sooner.
We now have a ballroom for dancing.
LOL! Not really but we could dance if we wanted too.
I added the tassel vanity bench for now but it is too small.
The dark wood furniture is from Haverty's.
I'm happy we did not have to move this piece.
It is very heavy.
It was fun using what I already had in the room.
Everything appears different when you move it around.
I hope you try it too!
The blue paint is called Misty from Sherwin Williams.
I am really pleased with the new room layout.

My room is placed like your "after" room and I love it. Your room looks fabulous! Such pretty everythings! :D
Hi Melissa- your room looks gorgeous!! I love the changes you made- so pretty and restful. I always have fun moving furniture around too- but I usually tell the boys to stick around, because it may not stay!
:)
Oh girl! Yep, the new arrangement looks awesome!
Many Blessings,
M.
Love the new layout. It is amazing how a different furniture placement can change the room.
I think you should dance before bed every night now that you have the space!!!
Rhonda
Love the new look, Melissa. Your room is so nice and large. Beautiful bed and armoire.
Love the new look, Melissa! Gorgeous, gorgeous room. xoxo
Hey Ms. 'M!' I love your tour in your bedroom girl!!! I have my mom's dark rich furniture from the early 1960's. I have been taunting myself into how to use my decorations to AKA dress my little nest up...you have great ideas!!!!
Thank M

Oh I love your Chestnut saga! Way too cute! My 'Melvan' says MEOW to Chestnut!!!
Gorgeous room, Melissa. I love it!
Your room is gorgeous. How nice that you have the opportunity to change things around. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
How beautiful, Melissa!! I love the way you have arranged everything and how new and fresh the room seems. I also want to say that I keep looking at your window treatments! I love them. What color are they?
XO,

Hi Melissa! It looks absolutely wonderful and it is always so much fun to get a whole new look with your existing pieces! You did an awesome job girl! :-)

Have a great week.

Fabulous new look! I love changing things around too! Well done, sweetie! =) ~Liz
I like bed moved around. Our furniture is to heavy to move so I have to decide by Thursday exactly where everything is going. I am thinking of putting the bed in front of 3 windows. I wouldn't normally do that but I am thinking that it will look great!
Warm and inviting as always, Melissa. Have a great week.
It turned out great! I love your bedroom furniture...beautiful!
Hugs,
Penny
p.s. I am having a giveaway....come enter!
Everything looks great Melissa!! I love to move things around.
I like it so much better! I'm sure you're going to enjoy the space and a different "view".
Hope you have a wonderful week!

So pretty and isn't it nice to change it up a bit!
So beautiful! I really like the way you incorporated that peaceful blue shade throughout your room.
Amazing what a switch up can do! Such a pretty room. Love the rug.
It looks wonderful Melissa. I always love looking at your beautiful home.
Oh yes, I love it this way.. I bet it feels like a new room for ya'll..
Now , could you PLEASE come and fix mine. :) I'd love to walk in there and have it look like yours.. Sweet dreams to you and your hubby in that fabulous new room..
Melissa, that is so fabulous that you can change your room around like that! I struggle with one layout (ha ha) and have managed to find two fabulous looks for your master suite!!! I can't get over how warm and romantic your home looks. Not to mention CLEAN!!!! How do you do it?
Have the best day ever ~Carrie
Very pretty Melissa!! Love it!
Wow, Melissa, I'm impressed! Every now and then I think about re-arranging furniture, but I never get around to actually DOING it!
Your bedroom looks wonderful!
I love the new placement! It sure opens up the room and it seems so much larger. My hubby and I tried to "flip" our room too and we loved the new placement, but we didn't like not being able to see out the door (we both like being able to see out the door when we're sleeping.. a security thing I guess). So we switched it back. Oh well, we enjoyed it for the 3 weeks we had it. :)
Always nice to rearrange and get a fresh feel for a room. You did a great job. Jane F.
Your bedroom is beautiful Melissa! And that armoire...incredible! The placement of the bed makes a big difference...I can't get over how much nigger the room is.
Hope you had a wonderful summer!
Love the change Melissa! It is beautiful!
I love your room...you did a great job, I love changing furniture around it feels like a whole new room!!! I love your armoire it looks heavy
Thank you for sharing!

Looks really wonderful Melissa! It really does look much larger Can't wait to see what bench you pick up.
Manuela
WOW! Your bedroom looks amazing. I just love your colours and furnature! The pillows and curtains really add to the overall effect of the master bedrroom. Changing the furnature around really did make the whole room look larger. A bench will make your room look even more prettier, if it's even possible. I can not get over how beautiful you make everything look.
It looks awesome! Here's another gorgeous room in your beautiful home for me to drool over. You have amazing taste!
Jane
Such a stunning room, Melissa! Love the paint color. I just did our guest bath in a very similar shade of blue. Can't beat chocolates and blues in my book. Your room/house is soooo magazine worthy, sweet friend!

Melissa, your bedroom is beautiful. It feels so calming and relaxing to walk into a clean, neat and pretty bedroom, doesn't it? I also just recently moved my bed in between two windows very similar to yours and I like it a lot. I also just got a new bench for the end of the bed. I need to post pictures. As usual, you've inspired me.
Your room was very pretty before the change, Melissa, but the changes made it even look more luxurious and bigger. Gorgeous!...Christine
Melissa,
You always have everything looking so pretty. I love the new layout. I need your drapes as my bedroom is done in blue and brown. I was only able to find solid brown drapes. Great job with your re-arrange!
Blessings,
Kathy
What a transformation. It's npot a bedroom...it's your sanctuary.
What a difference Our bedroom is situated similar. Our bed is situated between 2 windows as well.
Now, you can dance away. I love your wall art....Wonderful transitions...
Enjoy! XO Linda
Melissa, your room really is stunning and all of your furniture and accessories are beautiful. Thanks so much for linking to TTT. Hugs, Marty
Oh, your bedroom looks just beautiful! The rearrange turned out great.
Melissa,

Melissa,
This is my first visit to your blog and I love what I see...so you now have a new friend:) Your bed looks much better in it's new space.
Blessings,
Linda
Beautiful room!
Always soooo jealous Melissa, really! I start projects and I never finish them. Im still working on my master! Beautiful room!!!!
Hi Girlfriend...
Ohh my goodness...I can't believe how much difference this new layout makes to your master bedroom, Melissa! I love the bed in between the windows...and you're right...that really opens up the other side of the room! Pure genius! Love that you're using that pretty half table for your bedside table! I think that adding a bench to the end of your bed would be really nice! This just turned out beautifully, Melissa! I'm so happy for you! Sooo...I'm curious...did you think that this layout wouldn't work...is why you had never tried it before? You know, the way my master bedroom is laid out...I only have one option or place for our bed. Sure wished that I could change the furniture around in that room once in awhile...but no chance. Well sweet friend, you know that I love your beautiful master bedroom...you have designed and decorated it sooo beautifully! Thanks for sharing your new layout with us...I love it!!!
Love ya,
Chari
Your room looks great and wow do I love your bed and armoire!!!!!!!
I see the custom initial rug still looks great!! That's good to see! I am seeing an upholestered tan bench at the end of your bed to pick up the tan in your lamp shades. Maybe even a pattern would look nice on the bench.
I love the location of the bed!! It looks great framed by the two windows! You have a sweet Master Suite!
Blessings,
Teri
Melissa !! This is gorgeous ... like a 5 star hotel. The bed looks as though it was meant to be sitting in between your two windows. The dresser looks great in its new "home," too (love the runner on it). It really did double the size of your room, and I can only imagine how much you and your hubs are enjoying the new layout. Now, go get your ballroom dancing shoes on and cut the rug in there. lol LOVE IT !! *Becca*
It's amazing, your room looks so much larger now. It really looks beautiful. I love a bed between windows and your window treatments are lovely. I love how you have arrange everything. Very beautiful.
Melissa your room turned out wonderful and dance away sister!!!Thank you so much for your thoughts!! I was thinking the same as you! She certainly rained on my parade that night! Ugh!
I was going to quit blogging all together but I decided to stay!
Happy Tuesday!
~Jennifer
Wow...that definitely made a big difference, Melissa! You made a wise decision! :)
Great move!!! It really looks so much better and the flow!! I just gave away a bench...I too have a four poster and though I loved the bench,it was just taking to much space!

You know, I've never seen that show. But, I saw this clip yesterday and it reminded me so much of my son when he was a little boy. My tummy hurts from laughing! =D
Melissa, I stopped by the other day and failed to leave you a comment...I assumed you could just hear what I was thinking I guess...lol. Anyway, I LOVE your room like this!! The bed looks wonderful centered in between the windows. PERFECTION!!! Kristen
