Master Bedroom ~ Final Reveal

Well it only took over a year

to complete the room

and I am cheating when I say it is complete

because it's not done done

not Lori done

but it is done enough to have my little reveal!

Everything started way back in November of 2010

when I found a quilt I loved

that was my springboard

and I took off running from there!

So a little background

we have been in the house 10 years this month

the bedroom was painted the day we took possession

the day before the movers arrived with the furniture

it was priority because we had a waterbed back then

so once it goes in it stays in ~ it was something you would have to paint around

is anybody with me here??

been there ~ done that??

so I digressed there ~ nothing else was done with the room

it kinda looked like a dorm room

with a king size bed

so I previously posted about it here and here

here is the before:

and here it is today

 

isn't it amazing what a little paint and planning can do to a space!

the headboard went from this...

to this

inexpensive frames became works of art when I chose

4 shots of our New York City trip

enlarged them to 5x7 and had them printed in sepia

and framed them

I love this wall!

 

we found our flooring in August of last year

and I stained the baseboards last fall

then Trev installed them on Easter week-end which I wrote about here

I love the new floor and the area rug

talk about a steal of a deal

I was looking for an 8x10 and my friends they are

expensioso ~ but on our 4th stop we stumbled across

this one ~ just a plain Jane ~ match our walls

shut up! for $40.00

yup ~ I know ~ it was marked as damaged

so we brought it home ~ rolled it out and could not find a thing

wrong with it ~ then we did the happy dance on it!

We replaced the hunter green venetian blind

with a faux wood shutter type blind and I love it

everything is coming together

(insert smile here)

i am still looking for a vintage piece for here

I will have to start looking around

as the season to flea is starting here soon

I am also looking at another tv

a little flat screen and I can get rid of this boat anchor!

And just in case you noticed the 1980's flying saucer in the room

I have not yet found a new ceiling fan

she might be ugly but let me tell you it's like being under

a helicopter and in the summer when you do not any any A/C

ugly does not matter!

and I thought I might try to paint or stain the closet doors

would you go the same color as the walls or

dark like the new flooring??

would love to have some opinions....

so there you have it ~ my almost done master bedroom

I like it ~ I like it a lot!

Hope the week-end has been kind

mine has been a lazy one ~ did a few things but only

things that I had to do

with that being said ~ I forgot to water the plants

ta ta for now!
