The BEFORE pictures.
I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it!
Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this house that long so I'm just going to go for it for now.
I've already gotten a new armoire, built my amazing daddy and the king bed in...but everything else has stayed put. Those posts will have to wait...for now, I wanted to capture what everything looked like the first two years we lived in this house.
*I think Mikey took these pics. one day for insurance purposes....and it looks like i was in the middle of moving around clothes or something in closets...I am such a neat nut that this drives me crazy to look at but they are the only pictures I have of my master. Oh well!
The chest of drawers where the TV had to be housed....not my favorite option but it was the only logical place at that time. There is now a beautiful armoire here instead.
Big, giant dresser. With matching mirror...ick. I am getting an antique dresser from my parents house to put here, that is smaller...and going to paint it gray with a starburst mirror above. I just ordered this one from Ballard Designs. Love it.
I removed the chair...will eventually get a bench to put at foot of bed.
View of bed.
Other side of bed.
I cannot wait to get this all finished!! It is going to be a BIG undertaking though. I found my inspiration in a painting from a local store called Strobler...it is absolutely beautiful!!! They are getting more in so I can order it...it is filled with amazing turquoise, aqua, greens, etc. Can't wait to pick out a new paint color!!
To do:
Purchase new head board, upholstered
Paint antique dresser and console table gray to go on either side of bed. Move current console table to den.
Get mirror and painting
Find bedding...thinking all white matallaise cover, fun colorful pillows, curtains, and bedskirt
Find mirrored nightstands with gold trim
That should give me a start....
