Bedroom Update!!!

Update, Update, Read all about it. Well I guess Look all about it, cuz there will be way more photos then words in this post. Cuz lets just be honest.. tha its what we love the most.  Soooo...We are FINISHED, yes FINISHED with the chair rail, caulked, painted, touched up... DONE!


The entire bedroom is not exactly done, I still have a bit more to touch up... new light switch covers, some bamboo blinds for the windows, art work on the walls, re-do a craigslist chair I bought...etc. But the focal point is totally done!

BEFORE: the bedroom had an awkward layout because of the odd third window behind the bed. It never looked "right".

(EWWWWWWWW)

The only way the bed wasn't in front of the window was if it was too close to the closet door that opened outward. Also, moving it away from the window meant it was closer to the door, and the room is already small enough without being forced to walk straight into a bed.

For an entire year I had no idea what to do with this un-masterful "Master Bedroom". Then I realized I could cover the entire wall with fabric. That was my bedrooms saving grace. My inspiration was for it to feel like a hotel, a get-a-way in our own house.Remember my dreamy white fabric inspiration post about my bedroom?

With that being said... we finally finished the chair rail in the bedroom and hall. (The guest room hasn't been painted at all).
Here is a shot of our little hall, which is about one shade lighter than the bedroom paint....

After we finished painting the bedroom we got busy with our "focal point" of the room.

 I bought some fabric from a local discount fabric store for $3 a yard. I bought 15 yards and sewed the tops so they could slide onto the cheapo curtain rods I bought for about $10.

I didn't even paint the wall that has curtains on it, because well who's gonna see it!??!? Plus, I'm lazy.  We had to cover up the curtain rods so...

With some advice from Vanessa at This & That (I'm sure your sick of me talking about her) I used a 1x6 board painted the same color of the wall, attached it to the ceiling with L brackets.She told me this is what they did in her room. Thanks Vanessa.

 Ryan held it up while I screwed it in. I'm so immature, cuz that sounded really dirty... kinda. Sorry this post is no longer PG.

Then we put away all the tools, threw away the drop cloths with all the mess on them, and washed the bedding, spruced up the room... and TA-DA....

AFTER

In the corner I put and chair that I purchased from craigslist for $20! I need to paint and reupholster it still....

More to Come!
