$10 Master Bedroom Make Over

This is what Littliest and I worked on today. Trust me when I say moving a king size bed by yourself with instruction from a 5 yr old is no easy feat but I got it done!:) Also let me say that you need to ALWAYS check the reconstruction of your furniture after the movers put it back together. One foot of the bed was not even screwed on!!

If you remember back in November I was soo excited because I had finally found the color I wanted for our bedroom. The green was the IT color!

Well we were at Lowes a few weekends ago and what did my wondering eyes spy? There was not one but TWO gallons of this Oops paint at just $5 a gallon. (Yes, mom I know YAWN.) I bought it and thought maybe master bedroom but again I was still digging the green. Then I got to thinking that with the green I would be pretty much limited on decor and bedding. I googled French Country pics and what I was finding was that most of the rooms were very neutral and added color with linens and other decor to achieve the French Country look. So I decided to give it a try. 

View into master bedroom before we moved in.

View back in November. SCARY I know!

The view today! I know I know it is a very subtle change but I promise you it made a world of difference!
Here is a pic I took this evening after it got dark. You can kinda see the warming effect it has in the room.
Pic taken before we moved in.

Another pic from back in November. Trust me I still love the green but I just could not pass up $5 a gallon paint.

Pic taken this afternoon. Pardon the closed bathroom doors. I was in the process of sorting laundry and thought I would spare y'all. As you can see I still have two places I need to finish up. I was not brave enough to climb the 8 ft ladder without The Hubster here to watch me fall! :) That and I was not able to move the long dresser and t.v. by myself and well I did not want a repeat of what happened to my sewing room cabinet! Thankfully The Papa was able to put that leg back on. Thanx again Papa!

Here is my lil' corner of the world. I am thinking of finding a table of sorts with room to put baskets underneath to store my extra pillows and blanket and to cover up the outlet there.

Here is The Hubster's corner and I am seriously thinking we need larger lamps but then I was thinking maybe just new shades. What cha think?? The iron pieces went over our bed at the last house but I may hang them here at a diagonal. 

If I use the iron pieces by the side tables than I am left with what to do over the bed. Hmmm, what to do? I am very excited to finally be able to accessorize our bedroom! I was giddy when I hung the mirror on the wall today!:)
Off to pin our sheets back up so we can go to sleep tonight and fold some clothes. Not very exciting for a Friday night but I wouldn't change it for anything! Okay, that was a lie. I would love to have a folding fairy and I can't wait till we have blinds and real window treatments but I think ya got what I ment!;)
Have a good one!

Master Bedroom Inspiration

As if I do not have enough projects started I am in the midst of working on our master bedroom. I have NEVER shared pics of this room and y'all will see why in a moment! Ha!  I thought that I had decided on a paint color for in there until my Paula Deen magazine arrived last week. 

Paula was sharing the updates in her home and one of them is her master bedroom which use to be painted a deep chocolate brown. Very pretty but very dark. This change I fell in love with. It makes the room nice and airy. What I do not like is her new chandy. 
Anyways, Paula's room then reminded me of this pic which was in my inspiration file. Sonya over at Beyond the Screen Door posted it awhile back. She made those gorgeous curtains that I instantly fell in love with. I actually love all the colors in this room and it reminds me a little of our master or I should say what our master could become.


Here is what I threw on the wall last week after seeing Paula's room. The top color is SW Biltmore Buff. Paula's room is SW Tansey Green but I felt it was a little too green for us so I just went up on the color strip and found Ryegrass. And yes those are gorgeous custom window treatments you are seeing there. I hung them myself just after we moved in! HA!:) Not quite as lovely as Sonya's but hopefully one day they will be.

Soooo, here is a view of our master. Yes, those glorious window treatments add a touch of ghetto chic to the room. The air mattress is for when one of the boys decides to come in at night. No the bed is not made. Just keeping it real for y'all! Our bedding I found back in March at Kohls and fell in love with it instantly. It was my birthday present. I guess turning 35 had its perks.

Here is a view of the opposite side of the room. I am wanting to create some architectural detail by adding stained wood trim above the doors kinda in a farm house style if ya know what I mean?! I think it will add to the french country theme I am attempting to make thru out our home. It will frame up the entire opening above the doors. Then I want to bring the same stained wood above the windows and hang treatments from them. Still trying to figure out fabs for those. The ghetto chic is really bugging me since we have now been in our home for 17 months! Please don't judge me!;)

Yes, I do think I am going with Ryegrass and hopefully before The Nana & The Papa arrive for Christmas! I can't wait!
