I’ve got another reveal for you today coming from the Spanish Sanctuary! While we’ve kept busy this year working on the twin closet, primary bath and primary bedroom, the Queen Bedroom has been a quick and easy “win” amongst more challenging projects.
Let’s recall how it looked when we bought the house:
Before
This room shares the jack & jill bathroom with the recently completed Twin Bedroom.
It has a smaller footprint, measuring just shy of 11’x14′, with a trickier layout given the location of the entrance, closet and bathroom doors.
The Design Plan
The layout naturally called for a queen bed, so the Queen Bedroom was born, and I leaned into a timeless Spanish style with a more traditional feel.
I shared more about our plans and progress in this blog post, and we’ve worked on the room a little at a time since last fall.
After
Here’s how it looks now!
This gorgeous solid wood four poster spindle bed was the first piece I found for this space, and an instant add to cart. It anchors the space and elevates the overall look with a more regal feel.
The color palette mirrors the rest of the home—rich and earthy neutrals: deep browns, olive and sage green, copper, burgundy and soft white. From the moment you open the door it feels warm and inviting.
With limited space to work with, traditional nightstands were swapped for iron side tables, which contrast with the soft textiles and limewashed walls.
If the window treatments look familiar, this is the third time I’ve used these curtains! This time I got them in Copper. The blackout bamboo shades are from the same company, and I also used them in the primary bedroom.
One of my very favorite details are the wood corbels. While the ceiling beams made a big impact, the room still felt a bit flat and needed more architectural depth to capture that classic Spanish feel. Corbels were the missing puzzle piece. I stained them to match the beams, and they truly take the design to the next level.
I’m also in love with this bedding combo. I splurged a little on the handmade Indian block print quilt, but it’s one of a kind, soft and appears to be great quality. The pattern and colors were too gorgeous to pass up, and the cost is actually comparable to similar options from retail stores.
I always go for the same white cotton sheets in our rentals, but they felt off with the rest of the bedding. I swapped them with these cotton gingham sheets and that was 100% the right move. These layers together make my textile-loving heart sing.
This budget-friendly rug was another big win, and I was immediately drawn to the color and design. The pattern reminds me of a traditional Spanish tile, and this neutral olive/sage green palette is hard to find. It’s soft with a low pile, easy to clean and feels durable enough for a rental.
Loving this view into the jack & jill bath. These two rooms were made for each other, don’t you think?

And that’s a wrap on the second bedroom in this house! Two more to go… but first, you won’t want to miss the much anticipated reveal of our year-long primary bathroom renovation. Check back next week for a big shower update!

What size pillows did you get with the flower print? Absolute perfection!
Jenna Sue says
Thanks! I went two inches larger than the pillow cover, so 14×36″
KJ says
Beautiful. Is that the closet door next to the chair? I
KJ says
Never mind, I see from an earlier picture it is, and it is a walk-in closet.
Teddee Grace says
Just beautiful. You don’t mention the sconces in your copy but I do see them listed as a product. Are they wired into the wall. So lovely and without cords.
Tasha says
Jenna, I’m curious as to the ceiling height in this room? I love beams but I’m not sure if they’d work on my eight foot ceiling.
Jenna Sue says
They’re just under 9′, but that’s a common misconception–beams actually make a room feel taller! I’ve used it on many 8′ ceilings and would highly recommend it.
Jamie says
Another beautiful room Jenna! I put the sheets and rugs in my Wayfair basket for our primary bedroom. I never would have thought to use that particular pattern. You always think outside the box and nail it every time! Thanks!
Jenna Sue says
Nice, I hope you love them too Jamie!
Michele M. says
My gosh. I absolutely love your tasteful designs. I am gob-smacked every single post, and that’s the truth of it. Well done – it is a fabulous space. Wow.
Jenna Sue says
So glad you love this one Michele!
Erin says
What a beautiful space! Did you get a queen sized quilt or a king? Sometimes I find the queen sized ones are a little short on the sides but yours fits perfectly.
Jenna Sue says
Thank you Erin, I have a queen quilt. The mattress is only 8″ so it fits over the sides and bed rails easily.
Carol Rouch says
Jenna, I can’t find the color of the walls, trim and ceiling listed here. Can you please share those with me? Beautiful, restful room!
thank you
Jenna Sue says
Hi Carol, thanks for flagging! The walls are limewashed in Vasari Fossil, and the trim is SW Natural Linen.
Anne says
It is so refreshing to know there are designers that know more than white, grey and black! You and Lucas have done a beautiful job in your renovations. I’m a textile person too! Looking forward to your next beautiful post. Thank you for sharing your inspiring designs❤️
Jenna Sue says
Ohh nooo I don’t know of any actual designers only using those colors! 😬 Warm earth tones for me forever. I’m glad you like this project!
