Sharing a beautiful neutral luxurious master bedroom design in a lake house in Louisiana that you won’t want to miss. At last, my sister, Renee’s, bedroom is ready to share with you all. It’s been a progress journey for sure since we got the wallpaper up last August, but it sure did turn out pretty. You may remember I shared this quick moodboard of the direction she was going in my post last year when I visited and we worked on the wallpaper wall. She always had in mind that she wanted all neutrals in cream, white, gray, greige, taupe shades and that’s exactly what the wallpaper delivered, so it was a nice jumping off point for her to work with.
The moodboard I put together last year showed the new Ballard Designs bed she bought as well as the Hooker Sanctuary nightstands she found at Wayfair. I’ll link everything I can below for you in this room design. And here is the final reveal!
I think it turned out fantastic and the wallpapered headboard wall really makes an impact. Her whole house is painted Alabaster by Sherwin Williams and it’s a nice backdrop to all her neutrals. Her whole house is mostly neutrals with a little bit of blue added in for some fun. If you missed their house posts I did after they moved in, be sure and see the entire house as well as the pool and outdoor spaces. It’s a magnificent home on the lake!
The room is spacious with lots of windows overlooking the lake. Renee bought some solid cherry French Country furniture before they got married 24 years ago and they’ve used it ever since. She decided to have it painted to get further use out of it and not have to buy new (which is mostly junk these days anyway). She found a local gal at a shop who paints furniture and they had their chest of drawers and dresser painted in two tones that she had seen in the shop. It really turned out nice and she loves it now that it flows with her new design.
She bought the new King Ballard Designs cane bed last year and it’s a beautiful shade of cream against the wallpaper. The wallpaper is Thibaut Daintree Pearl. This is where she ordered from. Folded blanket across the bottom of the bed is from Homegoods, as are the 2 printed pillows.
Her bedding is a mix from all different sources and I’ll share what I can of those as well. I can link the striped bedding, the Euro shams in the back, but everything else was collected at different times so there are no links for them.
Here’s a look at the La Compte rug from Simply Southern Designs on Amazon. I was lucky enough to work with Sara for sharing this rug when her collection first came out, so I passed the rug to my sister and it’s finally in place. The nightstands are Hooker Sanctuary from Wayfair and they are glam and gorgeous, a mix of mirror and light stained wood.
The bench at the end of the bed is from Target. There’s a look at the painted chest of drawers.
You can see the little hallway coming into the master bedroom from the closet and master bathroom. They can close off their suite to the rest of the house. The master bathroom is straight down this hallway with the closet on the right before you get there.
They mounted their TV in this corner which works well for watching, as my sis enjoys watching TV in bed. You can see the dresser with the two toned paint and how pretty it looks now. The gals that did it did a great job.
It fits perfectly in their newly designed room. Artwork above the dresser is from Homegoods. That chair and ottoman is one I passed onto her. It’s a Sherrill chair that I found years ago in Birmingham at the Salvation Army. I had a white slipcover on it in my last house and I could not part with it, so kept it and brought it to this house. She wanted a sitting chair for his corner so I gave it to her and she bought performance fabric and had it recovered, so it’s a great sitting chair and ottoman now.
Another look at the painted dresser. She doesn’t have the paint colors they used, but it’s painted in Fusion paint, so probably wouldn’t be hard to figure out if you like this combo. I think this lamp was a Homegoods find too.
The chest of drawers side of the room. All of their blinds are from Payless Decor, where I got my blinds. I worked with them many years ago in my old house and new house and love their blinds. These are cordless which is really nice and the color is Mandalay Oak, which I don’t see on the website anymore, but they are under Advantage Cordless shades. She got the inside mount, cordless lift with blackout liners and they all look good from the outside too. With their pretty woodwork, she may not add drapes except for a few spots around the house. There’s definitely not room for drapes here.
Closer look at the painted dresser.
She’s had that starburst mirror for a few years, so can’t link it.
This little reading lamp was found online and it’s the only one they could find that they liked in this style with the extra spot reading light. Renee loves to read in bed so this comes in handy. This one is Litfab reading light in the beige shade. Be aware it’s straight from China, but I found one on Amazon that looks identical and may be easier to get and return if you don’t like it. See all those links below.
Sidenote: The reason they got a new bed was because their old bed had “wings” on the sides. It was an upholstered bed that they had for a few years and she still liked it but after they installed these reading lamps, it wouldn’t work with the old bed and the wings, so they got a new one. The things we do in life and decorating!
One more view. I’ll share all the links I can below, but ask any questions is you have them. I love how their bedroom turned out and I hope you do too. It was fun to see it all come together. Affiliate links used below.

Beautiful and calming! I love the reading lamps! So perfect for reading in bed, and it leaves room on the bedside tables for other things besides a lamp…. Clever!!
