Before and After: Master Bedroom

Today I'm writing about the before and after for the master bedroom. The biggest difference in this room is the paint. We painted the trim in Creamy, the walls in Bittersweet Stem, and the floor in Cocoon, all from Sherwin-Williams' Rustic Refined Collection. With the placement of the windows, it was difficult to decide where to put the bed, but in the end I decided the set it up in front of the back window. I got curtains that basically match the walls, so it doesn't seem like too much of an eyesore. Our bedroom set we got in California, and the comforter and shams were a bargain from TJ Maxx.

Among other things, I like that the bedroom is at the back of the house, because it eliminates any car noise or lights from the street. Not that it's very loud, but we had to sleep in the front bedroom before we finished the master bedroom, and I definitely heard a few cars and kept up by a few headlights. Also, it has three closets! Now, one of them will be eliminated when we make the 1/2 bath into a full bath, but that still leaves a nice-sized one for me, and a smaller one for Justin. The smaller was was a built-in cupboard, but we took off the front because it was very dated and dirty. We patched up inside and painted, and now it's functional. In the pictures, this one is right under the arch, and backs up to my closet.

Now, the half bath originally opened up into the kitchen, and we had to cut a new door and seal over the old one. Right now, it has a curtain in front of it too, because the door frame is a raw edge where you can see three layers of plaster.... not so pretty. Hence, the curtain. That's hopefully a late summer project, but we have to get the roof replaced first, clear out the back hedge, and put down new flooring in the whole house. I'll be sure to blog when it's done though! :)
