I've had a couple of requests for a tour of the master bedroom. As I'm almost to the point where I'm done with it (well, at least for now. I might get bored in a little bit and completely change it up!) I thought I would show you what I've done. First, the before (when we first moved in, so please excuse the absolute chaos):
When we first looked at the house, I HATED the color in the master bedroom. It's a blue with gray undertones which I thought was really cold. Of course the bubs loved it. So, we compromised. I started looking around and decided I would go with a warm cream and then accent with a chocolate brown to warm up the color. I can honestly say this room is now one of my absolute favorites. It's really relaxing and soothing.
I found this at a vintage discount store and fell in lurve with it. Once I had it in the room and decorated, I couldn't decide what to do with the other side. My mom was actually the one who suggested a reading nook since I love reading so much and have never really had a "spot." She's so smart!
The previous owners actually had a tv mounted to the wall where the picture now is. I have no desire for a tv in our room. In fact, every marriage book and marriage guru I've ever heard speak specifically says NOT to have one. But, I needed something to cover up the big hole in the wall. After wandering around the D.I. for a couple of weeks I scored a picture with flowers on it. I scrapbooked over the flowers and then added pictures of us. I then found the frame and H, changed the look with some spray paint and then added the vinyl. I fell in love with the quote and wanted it somewhere in the room.
The tray, clock and wooden box all came from the D.I. I spray painted the tray and then added scrapbook paper in blues. I was going to put it in the bathroom but thought it looked cute with the candle and all the perfumes. The clock was a hideous mustard color with a boring face, so of course that had to go! A little spray paint and blue scrapbook paper and it's officially "room ready."
Finally, an overall look. I think the most expensive things in the room are the bedspread and the picture above the bed. I found the picture at Tai Pan....it was on sale and then I also had a coupon, WAHOO! The bedspread is from Kohls. It was REALLY hard finding something I liked in colors to match the room. I still don't
love the bedspread, but it will do for now (until I can find something I REALLY like)
Of course there is more I want to do. I want a new (king size) bedroom set and I'm eventually going to re-do the hope chest sitting at the end of the bed. I'm going to paint it with a chocolate base and then add a cream crackle. But, all that will come in time. My next goal is to get the mater bath,laundry room and craft room painted. We just picked the colors and I've already got all the decor. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed the tour!
