Can you stand more on the Master Bedroom?

Thought I would show you a few more areas I have finally finished in our Master Bedroom Makeover. You can see the makeover here.  I think it is all finally done and we are so happy with the results.

Please please ignore the ghastly blue carpet ( I do). Do you recognize the stool above? You can see that makeover here

Hubby got a TV for his birthday so I had to move a few things around. I think it's working (minus a few cords yet to hide). We are enjoy our new "nest". It has shaped up quite nicely

This is a close up of this darling pillow. It was made by my friend Karen at Elise Eleanor Designs

Karen is a very talented lady who does the most elegant, beautiful pillows. She has an etsy shop where she sells them, but she also does custom pillows too. She designed some for a client of mine and they are beautiful!! If you are looking for pillows and don't just want ordinary, go see

Karen for pillows that are truly extraordinary, one of a kind and beautiful!

Have a great weekend!

Bedroom Makeover... A work in progress

The bedroom transformation has been a few years in the making(in my mind at least) We still had the "contractor" white walls from 13yrs ago. Somehow our room became the catch all of the house and never really seemed inviting. Our furniture is from the early eighties and a hodgepodge of odds and ends.
The new bedding I received for my birthday a few weeks ago, finally spurred me on to do something in this very neglected room.
So we started with the paint. I picked a creamy color from Valspar called Moose Mousse for the ceiling and Universal Umber for the walls.
We found this great iron headboard and footboard from a garage sale for $40.00 It also has an iron canopy piece that we will show you after it gets repaired. I ended up taking the eighties dresser outside and painting it (more on that process in a later post) I will be replacing the hardware  too. Here are the before pictures.

See what I mean about the storage(junk) and hodgepodge room

This is not a "true" before because the old bedding has been replaced by the new.

Gotta love the eighties furniture : ) 

The clock above was a gift from a friend(love it)

This picture is just to let you see the "great "headboard

(It was a water bed leftover : )

Okay now for some better pictures

Nothing above the bed yet, because the metal canopy will fill in the space

The dresser is still a work in progress

Aside from the blue carpet (that I have to live with) I love this room!

I will continue to share the progress with the decorating as I go along

Did you notice the lamps? They are the same lamps in the before pictures, with new lamp shades. I got them at Lowe's on clearance for $7.48 each. A great way to make an old lamp look new again.
