Since I cleaned my house for our guests, I figured it would be a good time to give you a room tour.
This is what the master bedroom looked like when we bought our home 4 years ago.
And here is the room today.
The changes were pretty simple. I painted the walls SW "Rainwashed."
I replaced the original window treatments with bamboo shades and smocked curtain panels.
They make me feel like I'm in a tropical location.
Please excuse the monstrosity of a TV. That would be my husband's contribution to the room. This is the wall across from the bed.
The vases were given to me by my grandmother. They belonged to her grandmother.
I don't know anything about them. If any of you antiques experts have any idea, I'd love to know. This is the mark on the bottom.
Our room opens onto the sunroom.
In the other direction is the master bathroom.
I really like my bedroom to be comfortable and restful. Ultimately, I'd love to add an upholstered bench, some art and maybe a rug, but I want to be careful to keep it uncluttered and peaceful.
Wishing you a good night's sleep :)

You have a beautiful master bedroom. Love the vase from your Grandmother too.
ReplyDeleteOh- It looks wonderful, Carolyn. I think we have the same bed. Ours is a king. Does it have a leather headoard? My hubby picked it out and it is soooo heavy that it is the one piece of furniture I can't move by myself. xo Diana

Hello... I'm your newest follower...I'd love to invite you over to visit and follow me when you get a chance. I love your home...oh my it's just lovely. I can see why you stalked it... and, it was so meant to be...what are the odds of the owners being "right where you needed then"..."when you needed them"? Have fun "passing the piano" (that's what we call it when rearranging... pass me the piano, please. Have a great weekend.

Your beautiful bedroom has sparked my stalled master bedroom project! I'm working with similar colors and similar colored furniture. You did such an amazing job of freshening things up!
