Bland Bedroom Turned Scandi Sanctuary Makeover REVEAL!

By Mandi 07/18/2016

Hey hey!! I’m DYING to show you guys this master bedroom makeover! If you follow me on Snapchat (@vintagerevivals) then you got to witness the whole thing in action (including Joanna Gaines giving me her stamp of approval thanks to faceswap.) If you missed it, then get your cute buns over there right now and follow so that you don’t miss anything!

There are like 3 REALLY important things to talk about before we get to the pics. 1. I teamed up with Angie’s list to create a sleep sanctuary space based on Arianna Huffington’s new book The Sleep Revolution. 2. This room makeover is part of a competition between me, Carter Oosterhouse, and Jen Bertrand (which I was DYING about because HELLO. Carter?! Sigh.) And 3. The winner of the contest gets $5k to donate to their favorite charity AND one lucky voter will get a $15k room makeover from the winner. Now I know what you’re thinking. “Mandi I love you, but CARTER OOSTERHOUSE in my house?!” I know. Trust me when I tell you, I’m thinking the same thing. But, lets think about this logically for a minute. Would you rather have me and all of my fearless DIY skills, or stare at Carter Oosterhouse for a few hours? You know the right answer to this, as hard as that choice might be.

Ok so enough chatting, lets get on with the room reveal!

This is what Tyler’s Master Bedroom looked like before I got my mitts on it. I think its pretty safe to say that its not horrible. It probably what a large portion of master bedrooms look like.

There were a few design dilemmas that needed to be addressed, and the space needed some personality, all while making it a perfect sanctuary for sleeping.

Tyler and his wife Sarah dig a good rustic vibe. But instead of going pallet wood and mason jar rustic I went a little more Icelandic moody rustic.

This is where it ended up…

When I say that this was a whirlwind makeover, I mean complete and utter insanity. We did the entire room in 2 days (shout out to the worlds best husband). I am obsessed with how it turned out. Head over to Angie’s list to get all the nitty gritty details and see the other rooms and gosh darn it vote because I would LOVE to come and overhaul your house!!!

Until then, can you guess where the sconces are from? Check back tomorrow for all of the sources and to see if you guessed right!!

  1. Fabulous makeover! Fresh design. You always amaze me! Can’t wait till you come refresh my place! ?

  2. That black shiplap made me gasp. Totally awesome. You’re a visionary, truly.

    Did you make the hanging plant holder? Will you share a tutorial?

  3. Fantastic per usual! Girl, your room rocks!!! I hate to say this, but my honest, unbiased opinion is the other two are bad, like bad. No offense to them. You just kicked their trash! ????????

  4. Ohh I really wanted to see the other rooms as well, but the promotion is not available in my region apparently (I live in Denmark). This room is fabulous, so I wanted to see what the competition was like.

    OK I know I can’t expect you to travel to Europe, but I still wanted to see the competion 😉

    By the way, I am curious why you called it Icelandic moody rustic?

  5. Would love to see the nitty gritty, the other rooms, AND vote, but Angie’s list won’t allow internationals to view it (I’m in Australia). Love your room though, just a little sad I’m being excluded from the rest.

  6. Such a pretty, relaxing room. I especially love how you contrasted the black wall panels with the gorgeous wood of the Midcentury dresser. Wonderful job!

  7. I follow you on snapchat (for weeks now) but never see your snaps. Do you have your settings set to show your snaps only to your friends (people you follow back)? Just a thought…would love to have been able to follow along.

  8. Yours is hands down the best. I’m a bit disappointed in the other entries, especially considering the budget was essentially the same across all three.

  9. It’s beautiful and perfect and the BEST! I love it…you did such an amazing job (as always!). 🙂

  10. Oh my goodness you SLAYED it. Not even a competition. And can I thank you so much for finally giving my style a name? I am proudly Icelandic Moody Rustic! I’m off to recreate everything you’ve shown here.

  11. This room is absolutely gorgeous! I love everything but the headboard has to be my favorite! Mandi if it was a diy (I’m sure it was) could you post a tutorial! Love it!

  12. What?! The sweepstake is void in Florida! I was totally going to vote for you. Great job!

  13. oh I am in LOVE!!!!! I love it all, but my favorite is that black ship lap wall. I really want one now!

  14. Wow, I love it! Can you tell me where you obtained the shelving from? Was it purchased or created? If crated I like to know how and where you got the material.

  15. Wow, have only just looked at this post and the other rooms, unfortunately one very very bland and one like a moss covered cave!?!?! Really surprised at how the voting went, yours was simple but with some great funky features you could happily live with!!
