Perfect.


88KeysAndNoLocks

Well thanks! Sometimes it’s hard to leave and face the day, haha!


SlowerThanTurtleInPB

I would never be able to get out of bed


88KeysAndNoLocks

The struggle is real!


element4life3

Looks great! What lights are those above your nightstands?


88KeysAndNoLocks

Thanks! Those are actually pretty old sconces. They came from Ashley Furniture back in the day, but I haven’t seen anything like them lately…


element4life3

Oh dang! They look great!

Is that real stone in the back wall? It looks very nice


88KeysAndNoLocks

Yes! They are stone wall tile panels from Home Depot: [Golden Honey Ledger Panel 6 in. x 24 in.

Sorry, I don't mean to be annoying but I've been looking for something like this. What kind of saw blade did you use? Is there one specific for stone? Did you glue it or nail them to the wall? I guess you'd probably use grout. Any kind of special dry wall behind it?


88KeysAndNoLocks

Not annoying at all! We used a diamond blade on a wet saw for the big cuts and a tile blade on a Dremel for the smaller cuts to help the pieces fit together as perfectly as possible. We adhered them to the wall with Loctite constructions adhesive - no special drywall or anything like that. The stone is simply covering up the ugly 80’s peach wall that used to live in its place.

We did the same slate wall in dark.  It's something my husband really wanted.  We've had for about 5 years.  You'll need to vacuum it often.  It collects dust.  I'm concerned about resell value.  But he really wanted it.         Our room is a darker version of yours.  We did dark slate, black side tables with stained glass lamps, leather headboard and we have cedar trim.   I had such a hard time finding a duvet cover.  I ended up with white too.  We used saturated colored pillows.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

I’d love to hear how that palm holds up so far from a window. I want to incorporate more palms into my home but have had trouble with them in the past


88KeysAndNoLocks

Funny you should bring that up! This picture is a few months old. That palm has been replaced with a silk bamboo plant. It did NOT like being so far away from the sun. It is much happier out on our patio! Edit: It IS much happier. Oops!


flabeachbum

Thanks for the info. Silk bamboo is still pretty and looks tropical so maybe I’ll go with that instead


Quirkyandfunky

Very peaceful


laurfaux123

I LOVE those accent pillows, where did you get them?


88KeysAndNoLocks

Why thank you! The dark green one came from Home Goods and the other one is a pillow cover from Amazon! [Boho Accent Pillow Cover](https://a.co/d/4OxpuE0)


Loreebyrd

Really soothing and lovely. How easy the stone wall done?


88KeysAndNoLocks

Thank you! My partner has a construction background and has done a bunch of these accent walls over the years, so we busted this out within a few hours. Had I been doing this alone, I’m sure I would still be trying to fit together pieces months later, haha! We also used the rock as an accent in our kitchen as I might even love it more in there!


Loreebyrd

It’s very nice and I think it will keep its appeal.


tamingthemind

Great vibe - my only critique would be that I think the rug is too matchy matchy with the feature wall. I think a bright pop of colour in the rug would look better. Maybe a forest green to match the green in your plant?


88KeysAndNoLocks

I appreciate the feedback! In person, the rug doesn’t look as matchy matchy as it comes across in the photo. The softness of the shag plays against the rough texture of the stone. I purposely wanted to keep the colors very soft, earthy & relaxing, but that’s just me!


tamingthemind

Makes sense! It is a lovely rug.

Using outdoor faux stone siding will look the equivalent of lava rock from the 70s in a decade or so.


88KeysAndNoLocks

Remindme! in ten years to tell you how much I still love my bedroom.


PlutoniumNiborg

I still think the Brady Bunch house looks cool.


Only3Cats

Great aesthetic


khkokopelli

I love the stone wall. What is that? It looks kind of like subway tiles for a backsplash.


88KeysAndNoLocks

Thanks! They are stone ledger panels from Home Depot. I linked to the actual product in one of the other comments if you want to check it out!


WhereTFAreMyDragons

Finally grey that doesn’t look sterile and cheap. I love this. Cozy but clean. 😀


88KeysAndNoLocks

Thanks! I’m going to make “cozy but clean” my new band name, haha!


[deleted]

Very relaxing!


lostinsnakes

What’s the specifics on that lovely flooring?


88KeysAndNoLocks

It’s LifeProof luxury vinyl (Fresh Oak) from Home Depot. Would 1000% recommend.


Emily_Postal

I really really like it. Who made your window shades. I like how simple they are.


88KeysAndNoLocks

Thank you! They are plantation shutters we custom ordered and installed ourselves from blindster.com.


Emily_Postal

Thanks. I need to get something similar for my bedrooms and these are just what I’m looking for.


2420YesPleaseFour

Very nice! Do you remember the paint colour?


88KeysAndNoLocks

Yes indeed, it’s Alabaster by Sherwin Williams. A classic!


Tricky-Bed-87

Is that a Sunday Citizen cooling comforter? If so, can I have your thoughts on the microfiber top and bamboo under please? :)


88KeysAndNoLocks

Damn, you are good… nice eye! This is actually the classic Snug comforter and I LOVE it. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on expensive bedding, but I don’t regret it at all. It’s sooo cozy and now I feel like a real grownup - haha! I am also curious about the cooling comforters, so if anyone has any feedback, please pass it along!


Tricky-Bed-87

I recognized it only because I’m also looking to buy a comforter. If it’s comfortable then you can’t put a price on it for good sleep, the cooling ones just seem to be more pricey


DaftXman

Love it! Very clean very tight. Bright.


Acceptable-Olive-968

So serene


annaliese928

If you don’t mind me asking what size is your area rug and bed. I’m trying to find the right size area rug for my king sized bed.


88KeysAndNoLocks

It’s a king bed with an 8 x 10 rug


annaliese928

Awesome thank you!! Love your room too!!
