Minimalist Master Bedroom Makeover
I’ve been sharing many posts lately about our projects completed for our master bedroom: the curtain rod hack, the DIY mirror frame, my watercolor artwork, and refinishing the mid-century modern dresser set. All of these have been leading up to this moment! Our minimalist master bedroom makeover final reveal!

This is what the bedroom looked like when we moved in. The crown molding along the top of the wall was backlit (oh joy). Plus it was mounted six inches below the ceiling in some places because the ceiling is curved. Needless to say, that was the first thing removed.
The other side of the room featured a wood-wrapped chimney and old trim/doors that didn’t match. I overviewed everything in the video if you’re too lazy to scroll down. It’s okay, I won’t judge.
The Master List
It might be impossible to list every single thing I changed in this room, but I’ll do my best.
- Remove crown molding and backlit LED strips
- Washed down all the walls and blinds
- Painted walls semi-gloss white
- Painted ceiling flat white
- Replaced old oak trim around the windows with 1″ x 4″ pine lumber I primed and painted semi-gloss white
- Replaced door with two panel white door and matte black door knob
- Installed the 1″ x 4″ pine lumber trim around the door jambs
- Caulked all the trim
- Filled nail holes and imperfections in the trim with joint compound, then sanded smooth.
- Painted over all the trim in the room with one last coat of semi-gloss white.
And at this point, I was finally done making the walls look good…
- White-washed the chimney with white wood stain
- Replaced light fixture with cream drum shade
- Refinished the drawers of this mid-century modern dresser set
- Built frame for my full size mirror
- Painted a watercolor abstract art piece for above the bed
- Assembled the beautiful blue upholstered bed
- Hung 9 ft of white 98″ long curtains with a conduit curtain rod
- Organized the closet by hanging a rod and adding a second dresser. Psst… if you want to see inside the closet and more behind the scenes footage of my room makeover, support me on Patreon.
- Added a few decor pieces (plants + lamp) so the room stayed very minimal
- Made my bed!
I’m pretty sure now it’s time to bombard you with photos from every angle of all my hard work!
Pin My Minimalist Master Bedroom Makeover
The white trim throughout really makes a big difference in how modern your house looks! I hope you’ll pin my clever hack of using 1″ x 4″ lumber to save at least HALF on changing molding in your house.
