We started painting the master bedroom here, and here it is mid-painting:

March 1st, 2010Our pitiful master bedroom
February 3rd, 2010So back in this post, I discussed some goals for this year, and one of the areas was our master bedroom. It’s pretty pathetic to be honest. It had off white (pink?) walls, and the ceiling is not white with splotches of white paint around one edge. It actually used to be a porch, so there is a sub-flooring in the room but no flooring. We’ve been trying to take it in small doses.
Right now we’ve mostly just been living in the house to get a feel for things that we thought we hated that we actually like, and things that we thought would be fine that are actually a nightmare. I’m just glad that we decided to be patient, so that we could discover them. If we’d started tearing in right away, we might have made some changes that were not necessary or neglected problems that would annoy us down the road.
Ah, so the bedroom, here it is in all its glory (or lack of):
This is right before we started painting the bedroom, so we had moved a lot of the furniture out. Here are our goals for this room: paint the ceiling, add flooring, finish drywall, and add crown molding. Once we’ve completed those things we’ll really start to focus on furniture. I like to take things in stages with this house, so that we have time to see what will really mesh together.
I created a mood board a while back for this room, and most of it still applies. We’re a bit unsure about the wardrobe at this point, but we’re going to revisit it once we finish the projects and get the bed.
My new jewelry board.
December 7th, 2009I got the idea from here, and I modified it to be horizontal. I have a lot of necklaces, and I wanted to be sure I would have enough space for them without them jumbling up. Yes, I know the middle ribbon is crooked - sigh. I am in the process of fixing it, and no, I can’t let it be.
Master Bedroom Mood Board
November 26th, 2009Of all the bedrooms, our bedroom needs the most work. It used to be a porch, but then it was turned into an additional bedroom. The previous owners created a walk-in closet and opened the bathroom (the only one in the house) to everyone without having to have guests walk through this bedroom. Now that we own it, I want to make this room more functional. For one, the light switch is in the middle of the room where the entryway into the room used to be. Also, a light was never put in the walk-in closet, so this makes it very difficult to use and maintain. Here is a basic mood board for how I’d like the room to feel.
Since the room used to be a porch it does have a “floor” in place, but it’s only meant to be temporary. So I would like to put bamboo flooring into the room which eventually would go through the first floor.
The blue paint is still up in the air. I believe we’ve decided on Behr for the lighter paint color, so now we must choose a light blue to match what we’re looking for.
I would like to remove the dressers we have in the room completely and replace them with the Elga wardrobe with the organizers inside. This would make the room more functional, and the built in mirror would be a space saver.
We just purchased a new mattress (YAY!), so we need a bigger frame. The Vanik jumped out at me as looking homey and comfortable. I would also like to purchase drawers to go under the bed frame for additional storage.
The fabric is very whimsical and much like me. It’s a Hoot is available at my local fabric store, so I will probably pop in there initially to get a swatch.
