My Oversized Art
Oversized Art in My Entryway & Bedroom: A Bold Statement
One of my favorite ways to make a space feel grand and intentional is with oversized artwork. It’s a game-changer—especially in areas with high ceilings where you really want to embrace the scale of the space. I recently added large statement pieces from BigWallDecor.com to my entryway and bedroom, and I’m obsessed with how they transformed both rooms.
Bedroom:
For my bedroom, I went with the 60”x60” Infinity Frame in black and the Black Forest III artwork. This monochromatic floral piece adds the perfect amount of moodiness and depth to my space. I love how it complements my decor while also making a bold statement against my high ceilings.
Entryway:
In my entryway, I have the 60”x90” Infinity Frame in black, and I love the versatility it offers. I switch between two different pieces depending on my mood and the season.
Beige Posy Bouquet Watercolor – This stunning floral piece is available from an artist on BigWallDecor’s website. I opted for it without the artist's signature so I could hang it horizontally, which fits my space perfectly.
For the other piece I used the Custom Artwork option. The print is called Garden in May – I took advantage of the Open Access platform from the Smithsonian, a free resource for finding and downloading copyright-free artwork. Garden in May is such a dreamy, lush piece that brings a fresh and timeless feel to my entry.
If you haven’t explored the Open Access platform yet, it’s an amazing way to source high-quality artwork at no cost. It’s one of my go-to tricks for finding unique pieces that feel curated and personal.
Why Oversized Art Works
If you’re on the fence about large-scale artwork, let me tell you—it’s worth it! Here’s why:
Makes a Space Feel Bigger – Instead of multiple smaller pieces, one oversized artwork draws the eye upward and expands the space visually.
Adds Drama & Impact – Whether it’s a soft floral or a moody monochrome, large art instantly creates a focal point.
Versatile & Changeable – With an Infinity Frame, swapping out art is easy, making it a flexible choice for ever-evolving styles.
If you’re looking to elevate your home with oversized art, BigWallDecor.com has so many great options! And don’t forget to check out the Open Access platform for free artwork downloads—it’s a total hidden gem.
Primary Bedroom
When we first moved into our home, our primary bedroom was as plain as could be—white walls, no character, nothing special. I knew I wanted to transform it into a moody, vintage-inspired retreat, so I went all in, and let me tell you—it was worth it!
The first thing I did was add wall panel moulding and crown moulding to give the space that classic, architectural feel. To take it up another notch, I installed a fireplace and a ceiling medallion, both of which instantly added charm and history to the room. Then came the paint—color drenching the entire space in a deep, rich green called Field Trip by Clare Paint. I used a paint sprayer to get the job done after installing the moulding because painting all those details by hand would have taken forever. If you’re considering a project like this, I highly recommend a sprayer to save time and get a flawless finish.
For furniture, I mixed vintage and modern pieces to create a layered look. My nightstands are from TJ Maxx, and the vintage bedside table lamps and stunning chandelier are both from an antique store called Queen of Hearts. The arched canopy bed brings a modern touch, while the solid brass door knobs, switch plate covers, and hinges add a timeless elegance. The white rug helps balance out all the dark tones and keeps the space from feeling too heavy.
To bring in texture, I added bird-patterned curtains that feel playful yet sophisticated. The mirror in the room is grand, gold, and absolutely stunning—one of my favorite pieces. For art, I incorporated a black and white print from BigWallDecor, along with a vintage piece I found at an estate sale next door when we first moved in. I also brought in a live-edge console table from World Market to add a bit of organic warmth. To finish the space, I added two rust-colored swivel chairs, which not only make the room feel cozy but also bring in another modern touch.
This room has truly become my favorite space in the house. It’s the one that defined my home decor style—moody, vintage, and a little bit modern. Every time I walk in, I feel like I’m stepping into a space that tells a story, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Big Girl Room Refresh
The transition from a tiny toddler room to a big girl space has been both so sweet and a little bittersweet. The biggest change? Her full-size bed, which I found on Facebook Marketplace. The seller, an older gentleman, told me it was his childhood bed and later used by his own kids—how special is that?
And if you’re wondering, “Wait, where’s all the kid stuff?”—don’t worry! She has an entire playroom filled with every toy she could possibly want. Her bedroom is all about sleep, stuffed animals, and her ever-growing collection of books.
One of the best additions has been the two nightstands. They give her plenty of space for her Tonie box (her absolute favorite), her must-have flashlight, whatever books she’s into that night, and extra storage she can grow into. It’s been such a fun little refresh!
Believe it or not, the bedding is a Sam’s Club find! I love that it’s a soft pinky-purple with flowers—cute but still muted and calming, just like the rest of the room. We rotate between two sets of sheets, one solid pink and one floral, which keeps things feeling fresh. And I have to shout out this mattress cover—it’s a little pricey, but absolutely nothing has leaked through. Now I feel like I need one for every bed in the house!
This room will always be evolving, just like she is, but I love how it’s coming together. It feels cozy, calm, and perfectly suited to this new stage of life. From the special vintage bed to the little details that make it functional and fun, it’s been such a sweet transition. I can’t wait to see how it continues to grow with her!

En Suite Guest Bathroom Reveal
After years of keeping our guest en suite bathroom all white, I finally took the leap and gave it a moody makeover—and I couldn’t be happier with the transformation. I drenched the walls in Salute by Sherwin-Williams, creating a bold and dramatic backdrop. Instead of a traditional shower curtain, I opted for a tall window curtain paired with a washable liner, adding a unique touch and going extra tall to emphasize the height of the ceiling. Gold accents throughout the space elevate the design, and I created a balance of new and old by combining easy-to-find pieces from Amazon, Wayfair, and Target with some of my favorite estate sale and thrifted treasures. Even the smallest details, like swapping out the toilet lever and toilet paper holder, were carefully considered. Every change made such a big impact in this small space.

FAQ: Paint Colors In My House
“What paint color is that?” - A frequently asked question so I finally decided to put it somewhere beside my IG highlight bubble! As a reminder paint looks different depending on the light, room, time of day, etc so I always recommend painting swatches in your space before you decide on a color.
Drum roll please….
BEDROOM : Field Trip by Clare
TODDLER ROOM - 50% of Malted Milk by Sherwin Williams
This is a beigey-pink. If I could go back I would have done 100% of the color instead of cutting it 50%
Sheen is eggshell for ceiling and walls

This is a great example of a color that look different depending on what side of the wall I’m photographing (ie next to the pink curtains or the wall directly opposite the big window.
A Detail I Keep Adding To Every Room Makeover
A year and a half ago, I set out to transform our all-white rooms into spaces filled with color, personality, and warmth. Now, I’m on to room number six, and there’s one detail that ties them all together—new doorknobs.
I first discovered Nostalgic Warehouse while searching for items for our primary bedroom makeover, either on Amazon or Instagram. From the moment I laid eyes on their collection, I was smitten. The doorknobs looked stunning online, but when I held one for the first time, I was blown away by its weight and quality.
I often get asked if these doorknobs come with locks, and the answer is yes! Just be sure to choose the privacy version when selecting your door hardware. While the lock may look different from a traditional doorknob, it’s definitely there.
In addition to the privacy version, we’ve used single-sided dummy knobs in the office since they only need to function on one side—they don’t turn; you just pull. We also opted for passage-style knobs on my daughter’s closet for a seamless look.
This year, I’ve added these doorknobs to our hallway, my office, my daughter’s room, and the guest bathroom. They truly are the jewelry of each room, adding a unique and special touch to every space. Alongside the doorknobs, I also found matching lightswitch covers last year, which have become another favorite.
If you’re looking to elevate a room with a high-quality piece, I can’t recommend Nostalgic Warehouse enough. There’s a reason we keep coming back for more.
Wallpaper Details
Let’s talk wallpaper! I have 2 (going on 3) rooms in my house covered in wallpaper and it’s a question I get asked about frequently!
Luscious leopards
Lucious Leopards by Love vs Design is a vinyl peel and stick wallpaper in my powder bathroom. We used their “smooth finish” that has a 1inch overlap. If I could go back I would have tried their Glissade or Woven options instead as I found the “smooth” a little hard to work with as it would stretch when you needed to reposition it. This wallpaper can also be customized meaning you can choose any color combination you’d like.
2. forever & always
Forever and Always by Wallblush comes in peel and stick, but I used their luxe traditional. I have found their luxe traditional to be the easiest temporary wallpaper to apply so far. It’s a paste-to-the-wall removable adhesive that has a butted joint (no overlap). Although, it doesn’t call for any overlap, I found it to shrink JUST A SMIDGE when the paste dried causing very thin gaps so I would suggest overlapping by a cm or two. Code LUTZGOHOME saves you 35% off! I also put a photo of the custom green color that I matched from the wallpaper below.
3. Natalia
Natalia by Peel and Paper is the newest wallpaper I added to the house (see here). This is also a peel and stick application and this site also allows you to choose any color combination you’d like. I applied their new matte paper in their “Peel and Stick Wallpaper” paper type (not vinyl) and LOVE it. It has a butted joint (no overlap). Code LUTZGOHOME10 saves you 10%!
