Modern Farmhouse Master Bedroom

The Modern Farmhouse's master bedroom suite includes a high pitched ceiling in pale blue, a private balcony with views of downtown Austin, and carbonized bamboo floors. The focal points of the room are unquestionably the huge artillery target over the bed and the rusty metal military shelving unit filled with our collections.

    • Malm bed frame with headboard wrapped in denim fabric. We actually like the lines of the Malm, and most modern bed frames are quite expensive despite not offering much in terms of interesting design. Chris wrapped the headboard in a washed denim, folding the ends like you would wrap a gift, pulling it tight, and stapling the fabric into the back of the headboard with an upholstery stapler. (IKEA)

    • Wool area rug. We didn't want to spend the money for a larger rug, as most of it would be hidden beneath the bed. So we bought a smaller rug and cut it in half with a carpet knife, hiding the edges a few feet in from each side of the bed. Half the price! (Pottery Barn)
