Our master bedroom has slowly transitioned from "pukey-colored-hodge-podge-nothing-inviting-about-it-space" to "cool-and-refreshing-want-to-wake-up-in-the-morning-oasis" over the past month or two. It's been a fun team project for T and I. We LOVE do-it-yourself endeavors! First, we put up chair rail and crown molding and painted the walls. Then we designed and built (most construction done by T) a new headboard and sewed up some coordinating pillows and bedskirt. The room feels entirely different! I still want to do some artwork, build some side tables, construct a mirror, and put a chocolaty brown glaze on our dressers before I call it complete, but that will all take some time.

Wow! Our bedroom next please! No, really this is inspiring. I'd love a bedroom that felt refreshing. Moving all the time plus smaller and smaller bedrooms plus less and less time equals cluttered-bedroom-that-we-only sleep in... Did you catch Oprah, yesterday? They talked a little about the importance of Mommy and Daddy's bedroom. Inspiring? Yes. Very nice, Carmen.
I love it!! You could do our bedroom too! Hmmmm, how could I copy you? Great job on the pillows.
I'm TOTALLY impressed! Wowie zowie! I just don't have a stitch of talent in this area...looks beautiful!
Very Beautimous!!! Love the creativity!!
Lovely!
It looks great. You two are both so creative and make a great team. It will be fun when one of these days we will be in a place where we feel like we can set some roots down and decorate. Until then we'll stay easily mobile.
Looks amazing!! I especially like the fabric on the headboard.
What is chair rail?
i think a chair rail is the molding in the center of the wall...am i correct in that carmen?
