the bedroom of their dreams

When blogger Stacey Kasdorf and her husband Jason, a professional athlete, bought their first home in early 2019, it needed a major update—both to reflect their personal style and, as Stacey puts it, “to bring it into this century.” As soon as they moved in, the couple got right to work updating their daughters’ bedrooms and the shared areas of the house, but put their own master bedroom on the backburner, quickly furnishing it with Jason’s old furniture and a queen bed for the time being.

Fast forward to over a year, and many, many projects later, the Kasdorfs have the home of their dreams, complete with a master bedroom retreat that they absolutely love, thanks to a little help from Dufresne.

A bed fit for a king—or a hockey player
Standing at 6’4”, it’s no surprise that the first item on Jason’s wish list was a king bed. However, Stacey wasn’t sure that they could fit one in their small bedroom, nor could she find one that matched exactly what she was envisioning—light beige with a tufted headboard.

After a few months of searching, the couple found their dream bed—the fully-customizable William King Storage Bed from Dufresne. Not only did the bed’s large, built-in drawer allow the couple to eliminate a chest of drawers in the room (and free up much-needed floor space), Stacey was able to choose the headboard style, fabric and colour to perfectly fit the look she was going for.

Stacey hung a pair of Williamette Mirrors in an antique grey finish above the nightstands to reflect light and add depth to the room—another great tip for visually expanding a small space. Hung vertically, the curving keyhole-shaped mirrors draw the eye upward and break-up the strong horizontal line created by the tall, upholstered headboard.
