Mixing Masculine and Feminine in the Master

I shared how I moved the mirrors in this room from one wall to another and now I'm sharing the other updates in here. I started to title this channeling Charles Faudree since he is a favorite designer of mine and he decorated in French country style and used a lot of dogs in his design. On a whim right after Christmas I decided to hang, or rather have hubby hang, the dog painting over our bed. 

The painting fits well in the space above the bed. 

The painting adds a masculine feel to the room, but mixes well with the other feminine elements in here.

The scrolled pattern duvet and shams are feminine.

Adding flowers is certainly a feminine touch.

The king size shams that match the previously purchased duvet were a score at the outlet earlier this month. I didn't go there looking for anything particular and happened to see the shams that were marked way way down. Had to get them, right? This pattern has also been discontinued so buy them now or never.

So I bring home the matching shams and put them on the bed and the euros that were on the bed behind them just looked like one big beige blob. I had the oatmeal quilted shams from Pottery Barn on the bed before and they just didn't look right against the light headboard and all this beige.

So what to do? I remembered seeing some pretty brown euro shams at RH the day before so I made the trek back to the outlet, which is a good 45 minute drive one way, and fingers crossed that the brown shams were still available. The prices were so crazy I was afraid they would be gone. These run around $90 each originally then marked down to the outlet price of $45 plus 40% off. They always have good sales in January so I'm glad I made the trip. I also found two more dining chairs my daughter was wanting while there.

The tufted bench and the scalloped edge are feminine.

The chair and dog pillow are masculine.

I moved the fiddle leaf fig tree in here in this bright corner. I need to find a larger pot and repot the poor thing.

The ruffled and beaded lampshades are very feminine.

And back to the masculine painting. I know some of you will prefer the mirror over the bed, but I'm loving this painting and the masculine vibe for now.

Do you have any masculine/feminine mixed rooms?

Does the room still look like this today? Hmmm, there may be a pillow change and I changed up the arrangement on the dresser yesterday. I'm sorry I can't help myself.

Have a fabulous week!
