Master Bedroom Before Pictures!

This post is full of fun and fabulous and what you should NOT do when decorating your master bedroom (or anywhere in your house for that matter!). These pictures are from the few times we visited the house prior to closing/moving in. I don't have any of the room empty from the day we moved in, so these will have to do. Besides, I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't share pictures of what really sold us on this house (not so much).

The master bedroom is the first room that made the renovation list and it is almost done. I say almost because I still need to finish painting the windows, strip the doors, we are still waiting on 1 more piece of furniture and we need a rug.

Here is a picture of the carpet that the previous owners had in the master bedroom. It's green shag. GREEN SHAG. Hello?!?! 1960's & 70's calling and they want their carpet back. Well, thankfully they got it back. We moved in and low and behold the green SHAG was nowhere in site. Thank you prior owners!Underneath that carpet beautiful hardwood floors were hiding. They are in pretty great condition... thank you green shag for protecting!

Oh isn't it just wonderful. White walls with PEACH trim, doors AND WINDOWS!?!? Who paints windows?!?! Ugh.

So the plan was...

Paint - Trim - Ultra Pure White (Behr)

Walls - French Silver (Behr)

Doors - I'm going to attempt to strip them and see what's underneath. If that doesn't work...painted white.

Windows - Navy Blue Roman Shades (JCPenney)

Furniture - Huffman Koo's

Bedding -Macy's Hotel Collection (design is now discontinued!)

The walls & trim are painted, windows are um, getting there. It's been sooooo hot this summer that painting has been hard to do and I mean lets be honest, who wants to paint windows? For a brief moment I considered just going out and buying replacement windows instead. Most of the furniture has been delivered. Oh, and the doors are still on my project list to be stripped.

Stay tuned...
