Master Bedroom Makeover

So this is a post that has needed to be written since fall of last year!  But, oh well.  Better late than never.  Our master bedroom had been desperately in need of a makeover and hubby agreed to get me the bedding set and coordinating curtains I wanted last year for my birthday.  It took us until fall to get the furniture in place, but I love our room now!  I'm not feeling well today (stupid gluten cross-contamination...mumble, mumble, mumble) and it is so nice to have such a beautiful place to relax.

A few before pictures (the new curtains already in place).  Taken with our old camera - what a difference in quality!

Hodge-podge of old furniture and mismatched fabrics.  The dresser on the right was James' dresser from the time he was two!

Aahhh!  So much better!  Even with clothes on our clothes rack, it feels so much more peaceful!

Ian spends many nights in our bed, so Skip ends up with our pillows when we make the bed.

To the right of the windows is our armoire.  The TV and many of James' dvds are in there now.

Close-up of the top of the armoire.  Grammy Jen gave us the sign "Prayer changes things" and the apothecary jars are just waiting for decorative fillings!

To the right of the armoire is the bathroom (behind Door #1!) and my dresser.  (To the right of the dresser are several pictures waiting to be hung!)  The gold jar on the left of the dresser houses drum sticks and the tree holds jewelry. :-)

Close-up of my gorgeous candle holders and the plant arrangement from my Grandpa's memorial service.

Better picture of armoire and dresser together.

The fourth wall in the bedroom.  Beautiful jewelry armoire my sweet hubby gave me for Christmas two years ago and our closet doors.  (Out in the hall are more doors for the hallway closet.)  Had we known we were staying here, this wall would have been lots more decorated.  As it is, those pictures will wait until we move to be hung.

While this has definitely been a budget redecoration, I am absolutely in love with our bedroom now.  It finally feels like a big girl bedroom should!
