I’ve been waiting for this day ever since we moved into the Heights House 14 months ago!
Over the last month I finally pulled it all together with a new bed, rug, artwork and accessories… and it has now taken the lead as my favorite room in the house. Just for fun, let’s go way back to when it was still under construction—here’s an oldie from January 2019:
And here’s our master oasis today…
If anyone needs me, I’ll just be here in bed for the rest of 2020.
With my cat, of course.
This gorgeous rug was the jumping off point for the color scheme—warm terra-cotta, peach and earth tones.
It’s the 8×10′ size and there’s definitely more color variation than my camera captured—the product photos are an accurate representation. It looks red in these photos but it’s really not in person—mostly rust/peach and black, but there’s also some beige, olive green, gold and blue. New favorite rug!
I spent months searching for the perfect canopy bed. I wanted something tall to work with our vaulted ceilings, and this was the tallest I found—and it was pretty affordable too. We’re both very happy with the quality!
And if you’re wondering—the bed is every bit as comfy as it looks (actually, even moreso). Never underestimate the power of quality linens.
After sleeping in cotton sheets my whole life, I decided it was time to give linen a try. So many people swear by them for their durability/longevity, cooling properties, and hypoallergenic nature. I personally love that perfectly-lived-in look, and most importantly the fact that I never have to iron them!
Magic Linen sent me a set of their stone-washed linen sheets in ivory, and they took our bedding game to the next level. I feel like I’m staying in a fancy hotel every night.
Lucas is normally a hot sleeper and he says he’s definitely felt cooler and hasn’t sweat at all since switching over, so maybe there’s something to that. I’m still trying to make the adjustment from silky smooth cotton to textured linen, but these will also soften over time.
This waffle weave blanket is also from Magic Linen, and I can’t get enough of it. Susie agrees.
I know you’re wondering about the pillows too! These were gifted from Jolie Marche. I chose two 24×24″ pillow covers in olive, and their 14×24″ Beatrice pillow cover.
This whole muted earth tone color palette is so dreamy…
I said I wasn’t ready for fall to start, but these colors and cozy textiles are quickly changing my mind. If my design style was a season, it’s 100% fall, hands down. Who’s with me?
The ivory velvet curtains have been here since Day 1, and they’re still going strong.
So is this antique dresser I refinished 6+ years ago and brought with me from California.
Here’s how the entrance looks:
A couple weeks ago I painted my $50 secondhand armoire light gray to break up all the wood tones (I used Maison Blanche’s Franciscan Gray and dark brown wax)
And at the last minute I decided this empty corner needed a tree, so I found the cutest little olive tree that I think even looks more life-like than our living room tree (the ETA says 1-2 months but mine arrived in a week!)
I’m currently in the process of making another hypertufa planter for the tree—have you been watching it on my Instagram stories?
Here’s the view from our closet. One day we’ll tackle that project (before next year, if we have time!)
Fall is slowly sneaking into our house, and these preserved red eucalyptus leaves were calling my name…
The glow of scented candles and sconces provide the perfect ambiance on a rainy day.
I know we’re in the middle of building an office, but I’ve been perfectly happy working from bed lately.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to drag myself out of it and go upstairs to work. Can you blame me?
Who else is working from bed these days? Tell me I’m not the only one…

This weekend is a big milestone for our family. Our sweet baby turns one(!) and we have some personal news to share on the blog next week.
I’ll be posting birthday scenes on my Instagram this weekend, so you can follow us there and join the celebration!
Wendy says
Aww gorgeous little poppet!! Happy 1st Birthday!!
Side note if you linen sheets are to scratchy, pop them in the dryer for a few minutes and they soften right up!
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Wendy! I did launder the sheets before using them. I’m not sure if the dryer made a difference but maybe it takes a few times?
Crystal Brown says
The room is lovely! But my favorite thing? in the entire space? Is the face of that happy child!
Jenna Sue says
Her face lights up every room <3
teri says
so beautiful! The last pic is the best!

Obsessed with your door! Where is that from?

Cindy says
Beautifully minimalistic but warm and cozy at the same time. I love your style. Do you have a link for the curtain rods?
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Cindy! I used the Ikea Storslagen: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/storslagen-curtain-rod-set-black-60268642/
Monica says
This room is just dreamy – it looks so relaxing! Happy Birthday to Esme too – definitely a frame worthy picture at the end there 🙂
Deborah says
Love your pretty room, and Esme and Susie. Susie looks possessive of “her” new waffle weave blanket.
Jenna Sue says
She claims all the comfiest things in the house 😉
Carol says
Just beautiful. I wondered if you had considered painting the armoire dark green to match the pillows on the bed. Same paint as in your new office wall? Just a thought.
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Carol, that would be lovely too! I like the gray for now but maybe in the future 🙂
Darcy says
Simply heavenly, complete with angel!
Denise says
Love it all! Turned it beautifully ?
Nadine says
Great score on the bed. The entire room is so warm and inviting. Also, happy birthday to Esme. She is the perfect little model!
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Nadine! It’s a miracle I was able to get her to sit still for one second 😀
Lilly Thomas says
Everything is Gorgeous!!
Where is the duvet cover from? I didn’t see it listed, Sorry 🙁
Happy Birthday Esme!!! God bless.
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Lilly! It’s from Pom Pom at Home a couple years back.
Erin says
Love the room!! Great job as always!!
That face at the end….so cute!!! Happy 1st birthday to her!! I think she shares her birthday with my nephew born on the same day. Is it the 28th??
Jenna Sue says
Close… she came on the 29th! By a few hours 😀
Jacqueline says
The last photo is so precious. Frame a close-up!
Jenna Sue says
She loves those pillows like her mama 😉
Karen says
You saved the best picture for last! What a face!
Beautifully appointed. There is nothing.I don’t madly love.
Jenna Sue says
Thanks Karen! She’s definitely the best thing in the room 😉
Kelley P says
Oh my goodness gracious! It looks so serene and relaxing. The armoire is my favorite piece. I can’t believe you scored it for $50! I’ve been looking for one for my Granddaughter for a long time. If you see another, please let me know since I am local to you. Y’all just have such a vision and I love watching all of it come to fruition! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Marcia says
Beautiful! I’ve never disliked anything you have done.
Cindy says
Exactly!!!
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Kelley! I looked for over a year to find that thing! I’ll keep an eye out for more 😉
