Show Us Your Life: Master Bedrooms

It’s another SUYL Friday on Kelly’s Blog, and this week it’s Master Bedrooms.  Besides our “catch-all” room, this is the room in the house that has probably had the least attention so far.  I feel like I have SO much decorating to do in here still, I almost don’t even want to show it on the house tour – I want to paint, get new lamps (ideally silver or glass ball lamps) for the nightstands, get a mirror for over the tall dresser and get more pictures up on the wall across from our bed (which isn’t even pictured).  The only wall you can’t see is the wall that is to your right when you walk through the doors – it just has our wide dresser with a TV on it and is nothing much to see. 

This is what you see when you walk in… I really thought the silk duvet from Pottery Barn was perfect when I bought it.  With a baby on the way, I’m realizing that it probably won’t be so “perfect” for much longer.  The candle holders are also from Pottery Barn, as is our bedroom furniture.  The curtains are silk and hand embroidered from Ethan Allen – I found them on clearance b/c they were display curtains!

Notice the lovely parrot sitting on my husband’s nightstand.  I don’t know where he got it – he had it long before I ever met him – but I don’t know that I’ll ever get him to part with it.  That’s his decorating touch in the bedroom. :) Those double doors lead into our master bathroom, and if you could see to the left of the tall dresser, you’d see the doors leading out into the hallway.

I haven’t painted in here yet because it’s such a huge room.  The ceilings are really high, have crown molding all the way around– except for here around the bay window, where the ceiling is vaulted a little bit.  It just looks so daunting to imagine painting it, but one of these days we’ll either just bite the bullet and pay someone or roll up our sleeves and get to work.   That’s all I’ve got for now, thanks for looking!  Next week’s room is the dining room… looking forward to getting some good inspiration from other dining rooms for paint color!
