It’s time for the final reveal! If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been redecorating our guest bedroom and bathroom on a timeline of just six weeks (you can check out progress from the first five weeks here) and today is the grand finale. I’m thrilled with the way it turned out and just a tiny bit relieved that everything came together at the last minute. Without further ado…
tortoiseshell glass // topiary tray // blue and white candle // ginger jar matches
These bedside tables were almost the death of me. Despite ordering a “bright white finish” online, they arrived in a distressed off white that just didn’t work in this room. But the price was right and they were final sale so I did what I had to do: set up shop in our garage this past weekend, spray painted them a glossy white, lost ten million brain cells in the process, and tied a navy tassel around the drawer pull as a little finishing touch.

The room started taking shape the moment these drapes were hung. They’re the first thing you see when you walk in the room and I love how bright and welcoming they are. I had them made at the Dallas Home Fabric Center but you can order custom drapes through this Etsy shop. The fabric is Dana Gibson for Stroheim Madagascar from DecoratorsBest and I added a navy border on the inside edges to tie in the headboard from my old apartment in New York.

I played around with several different art options for above the bed before I remembered I happen to sell the perfect piece to welcome our guests to Dallas! There is so much color elsewhere in the room and keeping the artwork and headboard simple balance it out a bit. I’m a big fan of white bedding and Pine Cone Hill was kind enough to send over this bordered duvet cover and matching pillows. They are so soft I now want them for our bedroom upstairs!
This dresser from The Collected Eclectic Home is the stuff my decorating dreams are made of. Finished with six coats of glossy green paint and topped off with shiny brass hardware, it turned out even better than I could have imagined. They have so many amazing pieces just waiting for custom color — I can’t wait to shop with them again soon! Above it I added this white lacquer mirror from Bassett Mirror Company (also available here) and these killer navy bamboo lamps (which I shamelessly ordered right after seeing them in my parents’ new house).
These lucite and brass curtain rods were a seriously chic upgrade. I ordered the 1.37″ diameter with polished brass end caps and love both the way they look and how easy they were to hang.

lucite curtain rod // ikat fabric
blue and white box // quote dish (the cutest housewarming present from my friend Amy!)
ginger jar wallpaper // tassel shower curtain
Across the hallway is our powder room. I had been coveting this Dana Gibson for Stroheim Canton wallpaper for-ev-er and couldn’t wait to see it in our new home. It makes a bold statement but personally I’m in love and think it will be a perfect conversation starter at our housewarming party in December! The shower curtain came from my New York apartment but Will’s mom felt like it needed a bold monogram to hold its own next to the wallpaper and thankfully her friend Delaney from Sew Sew Swell worked her magic on this gorgeous appliqué monogram in a crazy short time frame.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed the grand tour as much as we’ll enjoy hosting our next round of guests here. Will walked in as I was styling and said he wished our master bedroom looked this good so I think we’ve got our work cut out for us. 😉 Don’t forget to check out all the other bloggers participating in the One Room Challenge — interior eye candy overload!

Thank you so much for posting that you, too, make mistakes. It makes me feel so much better :).
Where are your darling ginger jar prints from? 🙂
They are from this Etsy shop 🙂
What a beautiful and relaxing retreat! Love all the details that went into the space!
Mackenzie,
Congratulations! The room looks so fun with all this bright color! I’ve been so excited to follow along with a fellow Dallas-ite during this ORC. Have met a few through this process which has been awfully fun. I’m going to subscribe 🙂 Just love this fun style and those lucite curtain rods are to die for! Happy Thursday!
sweet! Nice pops of green with the blue and white. Inviting and tasteful, nice work!
So fabulous!! What a pretty room and bathroom! Loved all the blue and white and that green dresser! Loved your curtain fabric and wallpaper. COngratulations Mackenzie!! xx
That Kelly Green dresser is EVERYTHING!!! Beautiful room makeover!
What a fabulous space! As a blue and white lover myself, I can’t stop drooling over it!
Such a beautiful guest room! Your guests are never going to want to leave 😀 I am so in love with the wallpaper in the bathroom. I would love to use that in a small powder room that I have but I think I’ll have to stick with a few photos of ginger jars instead. If my boys and hubby had their way it would be decorated in baseballs instead! xx http://www.celebratingthislife.ca
So bright and beautiful, I love the colors!
So much to love – the green dresser, all the blue and white and those curtain rods! Great job Mackenzie. You must be very happy with the result!
I love the blue and white, then that op of green makes it perfection! This room turned out beautiful! I also took part in the one room challenge and it was a crazy couple of weeks but worth the work.
Anyone who stays in that room will be a lucky guest! Love the statement drapes and wallpaper! Also those lucite curtain rods are so pretty – I’ve bookmarked that shop for future reference.
Yeah! Just in time for me to visit 😉
In all seriousness, this is a beautiful bedroom and bath. The color palette is a personal fave and I love all the chinoiserie touches too.
Congrats!!!

What a great palette! Loving the blues and greens. Bravo!
That vibrant indigo ikat drapery fabric is absolutely stunning! I love how crisp and bright your bedroom feels in all its nautical hues, especially with that hit of kelly green in the dresser. Beautiful work! xx
So in love with your bedroom and bathroom!

You are so incredibly talented! I wish you could decorate my room.
Umm I would love that! 🙂
ugh that blue and white is SO fresh. LOVING what you did!
Thanks, Joanna! 🙂
I definitely gravitate to whites and woods when decorating but I am obsessed with all of this color! You’ve out done yourself. It’s stunning! I’m inspired! 🙂
Thank you so much, Abby!
Ahh, my favorite blue and white goodness. Love all of your touches and your guests will never leave :).
Thanks so much, Linda! So appreciative of all you do to coordinate the ORC. Can’t wait to do it again soon! 🙂
Beautiful spaces & the green dresser is perfect!
Thanks, Hollie!
Fabulous design Mackenzie! Obsessed with the color palette!
Thanks so much, Jana!
I LOVE it!!! How cute are all the ginger jars? Great job as always!
Thanks, Katy! That means so much coming from you!
Mackenzie– LOVE love love! Would it be weird if I used this in my own house 🙈 Your esthetic is absolutely spot on– love the colors and all the recommendations. (Also quick question– what does the B stand for?)
So excited to see the rest of your interior design joined for your lovely home!
Thank you so much! Not weird at all 🙂 And B is for my boyfriend’s last name — his mom and I agreed it wouldn’t make sense to use my monogram in the main bathroom of our house 😉
I have that exact Pine Cone Hill bedding in my room at my parent’s beach house and you’re right – it’s sooo luxurious and perfect! The room looks great! Also, I saw the CEH at the Dallas Flea this weekend!
Thanks, Shelby! So glad you got to see The CEH at the Dallas Flea. I was stalking on Instagram! 🙂
Both rooms look amazing. Nicely done!
Thanks, Sarah!
Loving the blue & white pattern. Beautiful accents. Congratulations!!!
Thanks, Megan! Excited to check out your project too!
That pop of green is so gorgeous. Love the blue and white. What a pretty spot to stay. So well done!
Thanks, Courtney! xoxo
What it looks so amazing!! You did a great job Mackenzie! I absolutely love it and your preppy color scheme!

Thanks, Ashley! 🙂
The end result is AMAZING!! I absolutely love everything! You did such a lovely job 🙂
Thank you so much, Audrey!
This is definitely one of the best ORCs I have seen!! You completely transformed this room into a beautiful guest room from a blank space. Still can’t get over how much the wallpaper transformed the guest bathroom!!! Love of all of it so much!
Thanks, Sarah!!!
I love everything! The green dresser, lucite curtain rods, and that wallpaper! You did such an amazing job and now I want to redecorate our entire house 🙂
Thanks love! xoxo
Wow looks fabulous! Love it all and being a serious blue and white lover…this is right up my alley. The wallpaper int he bath is a stunner! Congrats.
Thank you!
I love how the bedroom and bathroom work together with the pretties green, blue and white palates. Those sconces you had are so perfect and I adore the LuxHoldups curtain rod…and speaking of the later…your curtains are so lovely…oh and the dresser…gorgeous! Such a pretty space!
Thank you! Cannot wait to check out your space! xoxo
Such a pretty room! Love blue and white but throwing in the green chest was a game changer:) I am sure your guest will love staying here! Great job!
Thanks, Sherry! Excited to see your space too!
You did an amazing job !. The room is crisp, pretty and very welcoming. The only thing that seems to be missing is a rug to warm the room up from all the blue and white. Congratulations !
Thanks, Dana!
I love this! Love all the blue and white; really makes it pop!

Thanks, Christina! 🙂
MACKENZIE – THE DRESSER! So in love. The whole room looks amazing – go girl!
Thanks love!
It turned out beautiful! What a bright and cheery space. I love the green dresser mixed with the blue. That is one of my favorite combinations, a combination I used in my son’s bedroom. The wallpaper in the bathroom is gorgeous. What a journey you have been on. I think you should be so proud of yourself…great job!
Nancy, thank you so much for the kind words! You’re right — the green dresser would be perfect in a little boy’s room one day. 🙂 Thanks for tuning in!
LOVE all the blues and whites!
