Our bedroom has always gotten the back burner decorating wise. Does that happen to you? The rest of the house has gotten updates and color love, but all our master bedroom has gotten was stuff shoved in it and laundry folded on the bed. And a super boring neutral palette.
Mohawk Flooring challenged me to give a room a colorful makeover for the summer, and I knew it was time this bedroom got some summer love!
I added some mint, yellow, and turquoise accents to the already neutral room. I painted the table, an old family hand-me-down, and we made the tufted headboard. Come on in and make yourself at home!
I started with the rug, and picked out this "Enlightened Décor" rug in "Vintage Cream". The rug is a frieze and like Mohawk promised, EXTREMELY SOFT.
The perfect rug to step on first thing in the morning when rolling out of bed. They tell me that all of their Smartstrand rugs are this soft, and I'll tell you, I've never felt a rug this soft. If I wasn't very pregnant I'd be rolling around on it too. 😉
And while most carpets have stain protection applied to the fibers that can wear off over time, the Smartstrand rugs have permanent stain and soil protection built right into the fibers. This rug will be just as stain resistant in 5 years as it will be now.
In fact, we had a little oops just after adding it to the room. Ben (my three year old) walked in with his muddy shoes and ONTO MY BRAND NEW CARPET, ahhhhh!!!
But sure enough, just as Mohawk promised, a little bit of scrubbing with water, mild soap, and a rag it was GONE. You can't even tell the mud was there. 🙂
I have a few more details to add to the room and share with you, so stay tuned for that!
But for now,
what room in your home could use a rug?

Hello, new to your site and I am in love!!! Do you have a tutuorial of the your tufted headboard?
Hilary
All of them! Our new house has all hardwoods/tile, and my husband refuses to let us take our old rugs with us because they're so gross.
Sheila McNabb
Love to see new ideas. Looking to redecorate so it helps.
jessica @fourgenerationsoneroof
Isn't it soooooo soft! I love mine 🙂 Your's looks perfect in your bedroom next to that fun blue table 🙂
Ann Marie Heasley
hahaha! I wondered what my husband would say to the mint table, but he actually likes it. I'd say it's worth a shot 😉
DeCole Cody
I need one in my living room, dining room, AND kitchen areas!!! Please pick me!!!
Sarah McKenna
I LOVE that mint table!! What color paint is it?
Ann Marie Heasley
Thanks, Sarah! 🙂 It's Pantone "Beach Glass" from Lowe's. Isn't the color great?!
Kelli
btw: Now...I'm starving for guacamole...after reading your previous post. 😉
Ann Marie Heasley
hahaha, oops! Sorry 🙂
Kelli
I love it! It's beautiful and bright with such perfect balance. I love it when bright colors...are still calm and relaxing. Does that even make sense? Of course it does. 😉 Have a wonderful day! ~k.
Ann Marie Heasley
thank you, Kelli! It makes perfect sense because that's exactly how I feel when in the room. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful day, too!
Karen @ Dogs Don't Eat Pizza
I love the color combination! I'm loving teal and yellow right now - looks great! Hope you are doing well.
Ann Marie Heasley
thank you, Karen! Isn't it funny how teal was out a few years back and now we want to cover ourselves in it? I used to hate yellow too, but am a big fan now. Thanks for commenting, hope you are doing well too! Everything's good over here, I'm just big and pregnant and moving a little slow 😉
Laura Rogers
Looks like that would make a nice nursery rug too! Very cute bedroom - love the aqua!
Ann Marie Heasley
it would be perfect for a nursery, especially with it being so stain resistant, haha. 🙂 thank you so much, Laura!
P.S. Your taco salad looks yummy!
Estee
Where did you get your white bedding? I love it!
Ann Marie Heasley
I know I told you on facebook, but just in case anyone else is wondering I'll reply here too. 😉 The white bedding is a duvet cover from IKEA, OFELIA VASS, and was $30 for a queen. We've had duvets before that slipped and slid and were annoying, this one stays put great. It is super comfy and easy to wash too.
Shandell
We could REALLY use a rug in our bedroom. It's the only bedroom without carpet and we've never had a rug in there.
Ann Marie Heasley
Good luck, Shandell!! The winners will be announced the first week of July. 🙂
Lauren @momhomeguide
Your new room looks really cute! What did you use to post your video? (I love how it starts on its own.)
Ann Marie Heasley
thanks (again, haha), Lauren! I made it on the Vine app, tweeted out the post, clicked on the link in the tweet, clicked "embed", and it gave me some code to put in a post. It sounds a lot trickier than it actually was. 🙂
Megan
Love the little details. That paint dipped basket makes me so happy. Looks like you picked the perfect color rug too. Well done friend.
Kristin @ Yellow Bliss Road
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! I love the color combo, it's so pretty! Makes me want to update my bedroom...again.
Denise Koehler
I'd love a rug for my bedroom! Your room looks great.
