Romantic-Meets-Industrial Master Bedroom

by Dillon Widder

After salvaging as much as possible from their 1970s A-frame home, including the tongue-and-groove pine, wood trim, and electrical components, Becky McMinn and her husband began giving their master bedroom the industrial chic look the couple craved. Using electric conduit as a curtain rod, Becky fulfilled both the need for a rod long enough to span the width of the wall and her desire to have rustic industrial pieces throughout the room.
