​This post has honestly been a long time coming! And the reason for that is the foundational mission of Beyond the Clock which is to style with time. I have had a vision for our master bedroom for probably almost 3 years. It took savings and slowly moving things around, upgrading furniture pieces and styling with the perfect details that I gathered throughout the years.
 
I know a lot of you followed along the way as I put these together and now is the big reveal of the full master bedroom transformation!
 
The thing is, as much as we would all love to click our heels together and transform a room instantly, one of the best things about styling a room is seeing how things come together. It helps both on a budget perspective, but also as an organic way for things to fit together and evolve as your day to day changes as well.
 
When I first began getting inspiration for the room, we had an office. Shortly into starting the room, we changed that into a guest room and had to find a place for some of the office furniture. With a bit of rearranging, we brought the bookshelf into our room since we don’t really watch TV there and then moved the TV stand to the living room. It ended up being a great way to refresh all 3 rooms and make good use of the space for how we were using it.
 
So here is the big reveal, all items and DIY upgraded projects linked. My curtains and rug are family heirlooms but I linked similar ones for you guys.

Top 5 Ways to Use Baskets

When and where to use baskets in your home decor

If you have been following me on instagram, it is probably pretty apparent that I LOVE baskets. Woven grass baskets especially. Part of it, is because it reminds me of South Africa. I remember when I was younger, going to the South African markets and smelling woven grass for placements, coasters, nick nacks and any other creative use you can think of. Now when I put a fresh basket in my house, I get that smell and the memories of home. 

Another reason I love them, is because they are so darn cute and functional! I love that they can make a messy pile of blankets look effortlessly organized. Or, provide a soft organic touch to an otherwise hard materials space. Here are a few of my favorite uses for baskets and some of the best baskets I've found out there.

Top 5 Indoor Plants: Lovely and Low-Maintenance

Adding greenery to a space can completely change the feel of the room. It gives it an organic feature and livens the space completely. However, if you are anything like me, keeping a plant alive outside where mother nature does half the work is hard enough, indoor plants barely stand a chance with me novice green thumb. 

So to help all of us out, I found the top 5 plants that survive well indoors, are easy to maintain yet pack a punch with their presence and enhance any space. 

1. Dwarf Umbrella Tree

Ruby Leaf Co
I may be drawn to this one given that I'm from Seattle and the name is a cute nostalgic nod to my upbringing. Also known as Hawaiian schefflera, this fast-growing guy is easy to contain in size by clipping the top leaves, which also makes it a great contender for a lively indoor bonsai. 

To Care: 

To water correctly, wait until the soil in the pot dries out and then thoroughly soak the soil when you water. Often, people will over water their umbrella tree and this will eventually kill it.

2. Philodendron

My favorite part about these guys is the multi-colored, heart-shaped leaves. This is another fast-growing houseplant that would look great draping gently over the top of a bookshelf or try the split-leaf variety for some tropical flair. 

To Care:

The plants grow best in medium or bright-light spots, but tolerate low light exceedingly well. Water philodendrons enough when the soil surface dries. They're tough enough plants they don't mind if you forget to water them now and again. Just take care not to overwater your philodendrons. They will rot if they're kept too wet.
​

3. Peace Lily

These full but delicate plants would make the perfect compliment to an office or bathroom. They are one of the most low maintenance plants out there and are great for filling space with the added interest of the flower peaking out. 

To Care:

They don't need direct sun, preferring bright, indirect light from a nearby window.. Give them evenly moist, well-drained soil. If you don't like white pollen showered all over the leaves, cut off the spikes several days after they appear, and allow the beautiful spathes to remain on display.

4. Fiddle-Leaf Fig

The Fiddle-leaf fig is full, leafy and tall. It's great in the corner of a room to add height and dimension along with that organic touch. Think of it for a living room, bedroom or entryway. 

To Care:

Plant in rich, well-drained peaty soil. Plan on re-potting about once a year for roots to have space. Water only when soil is dry to the touch. Then water thoroughly (until the water drains into the saucer) and allow to dry out again.

5. Dumb Canes

The bright variegated leaves of Dumb Canes bring a certain happiness to a room. They prefer low-light areas so are perfect for growing indoors. I love these for a nursery or kitchen. 

To Care:

Plant the dumb cane in a well-draining soil and water lightly, keeping the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Check the soil to make sure it is dry an inch down before watering

Bonus: Branches

Eucalyptus

I love the uniform leaves of eucalyptus for an organized leafy look. 

Olive

Olive branches have a beautiful curve to them that allows them to gently bend over a vase and create a gentle but full look. 

Faux Florals

To add a bit more color, consider faux floral branches like these cherry blossoms from Pier 1. There a great collection to choose from to highlight your room. 

To Care:

Best part, no care needed! If you have a tree in your yard, prune them back occasionally and add these leaves to a vase for a table or countertop in any room (bookshelves and bathroom counters are always winners) No tree? There are tons of outlets on Etsy and mainstream vendors to get some from and they last a long time!
