Bedroom Makeover: The After

Over the summer I mentioned that we were making some changes to the master bedroom, but I never posted pictures of the completed room. I think I was waiting until I thought the room was completed and now, 5 months later, I think it’s probably as complete as it’s going to get. We hit a point were it was vastly improved, and then just sort of stopped. There is no art on the walls, but otherwise we accomplished nearly everything we set out to do.  Eventually we’ll focus on it again and add some final touches. For now, I love the room, and we have plenty of space for an ever-changing display of children’s artwork taped to the walls.

Here’s what our bedroom looked like at the start of the summer:

After painting, adding hardwood floors and rearranging the furniture, here’s what our room looks like today:

Home Project #2: Master Bedroom

Home project #1 was pretty much abandoned when we decided to place a large chalkboard table in our living room instead of a nice seating area, so we’ve opted to move on to Home Project #2: decorating our bedroom. We’re wasting no time on this one – it’s best to start painting the walls before we lose our courage.

Luckily, we’re starting with furniture that we really like, so our plan involves removing the carpet, painting and adding some accessories.

Here are a few things that will be staying in our room:

I’ve started collecting ideas for the new pieces we’ll need, and we’ve already chosen a paint color: Martha Stewart Cement Gray. I know, GRAY, we’re really going out on a limb! Here are a few other items of inspiration for the final decor:
