So the next few days will be a short series of what the place looks like now - post renovation and moving in with my possessions. We already did the family room which I absolutely love. Today is the master bedroom. Its nice but I can't claim love.
First the before - this is with the prior owner's possessions and a professional fish eye lens or something. I am really envious of the panoramic shots they take for real estate listings. I hated the wall colour. I love brown in furniture and even more so in chocolate but on the walls it looked like poo in this room - no offense intended for people who like the colour.
So we did two things:
1) the room is now 2ft narrower because of the bathroom reno we did. The before was 13ft and the after is 11ft
2) We painted the room F&B Skylight
We didn't mess with the closets so no new pics of those
Excuse my husband's bed making abilities and the tattered blanket - its so hard to find a decent priced washable blanket!
The room is quite serene now - good for sleeping. But I think I'm bored. I have had that headboard for years and years. It was cheap because it was a mistake - not queen and not king either. But its so blah and a bit too beige. So I think I need to Craigslist it and get a new upholstered headboard in a cheery fabric. And maybe curtain panels. Doing these two things will make me happy. but alas I have put myself on a spending moratorium.
The bench at the foot of the bed is my favorite thing in the room. Its a Christie's antique show find and I can't tell if its really old or just 20 years old. So I can't decide if I should repaint the legs to freshen it up or leave it looking battered.
That's it for this room - I think next will be the dining room.
