So this is our master bedroom as it stands now. Note the lovely red toile draperies that in no way, shape or form match the green and blue paisley comforter. And, the picture does not do the dingy walls and ceiling justice. Trust me, they are bad. Moving on to the floor, the patterned carpet that I liked so much when we moved in 2 years ago has been ruined by our dogs. Never, never, never put down patterned carpet if you live with dogs!
After living with our room like this for 2 years, Jeff and I decided that it was finally time to make this room a retreat for ourselves. Easier said than done. We have spent weeks shopping for furniture, carpet, fabric for new drapes and testing out new paint colors. Now I know why people pay interior designers to do all of that for them...it is work! Not to mention that it was, at times, torture for our entire family. Lugging 3 kids in and out of furniture stores and shushing them as they run all over the carpet store is seldom featured on HGTV :-)
So, over the next couple of weeks the walls will be painted, the carpet replaced, and the ceiling fan replaced. Then comes the fun stuff, we have new, custom white drapes, new bedding and even new furniture. Out goes the red toile, the faux wood nightstands and armoire and the dingy, old comforter. Then, we will be able to enjoy our grown-up master retreat!
