Master Bedroom Pictures

This post is mostly for my sister Della, who has pestered me relentlessly to a)get back to blogging and b)show her the master bedroom. So Dels, here you go. You'd better at least comment :).

This is the master bedroom the day we looked at the house for the first time:
 

Here it is mid-way. It stayed this way for eight months. Then I got a craving for some color on the walls. White is nice, but I needed a change!

During those eight months, I found these:

and transformed them into these:

Here is the room currently. I went with a rich blue... love the contrast with the white bedding and curtains.

I felt like the dark paint would work in here thanks to light linens and the fact that these windows pull in a lot of light. I haven't regretted the paint choice yet!
I used an old door for the headboard. Primer, paint and some D-rings (and a super awesome husband to help hang it!). I think it cost under $5!

Oooh! It's so pretty! And those nightstands? Hello!

Totally worth the forever wait. I love the mix of furniture! Hmm. Now I want to paint my room.

Beautiful room! I love all of the white against the dark blue. You did a great job. Those end tables are the best!

YAY!!! I'm so happy to see this! It looks terrific! What a bold and AWESOME color choice! You go girl! We did the door/headboard thing too, but went with black. I'm digging yours! And those nightstands - to DIE for! That was a good find!

I am catching up. Liked seeing the pieces before you'd painted them.
It's a nice room now!
