Decorating Series, pt. 4: Master Bedroom

The only reason this room is called the "master bedroom" is because it's the parents' room. The things I usually think of when picturing a master bedroom {namely a large closet and adjoining bathroom that is only for the parents} are conspicuously missing. In fact, the closet is barely a hole in the wall. And since we have only bathroom on the upper floor, we must share with everyone. Actually, some of you may remember this room from my post last year about buying a house - this is the room with the mirrors on the ceiling. Removing those is still on the project list. But with everything else that gets put on that list, the importance of this particular tast keeps getting pushed further and further down. Ah, well. Someday.

So I've been working on this little series, I've realized something. I have bits and pieces but not very many finished rooms. Liv's is the only one. Bless my heart, I'm super slow at this decorating thing! Whew. So I've decided to just share the bits and pieces I've got and then I'll show all the finished products . . . when they're finished. Deal?

This is a little wall hanging I made for our bedroom. We have this really big wall that desperately needed something.

I followed the directions from Make it and Love It to make some wall hangings with canvases I bought for 50% off {boiled down to paying about $3 per canvas - I can handle that}. Then I positioned all the canvases exactly as I wanted {which included some painstaking measuring . . . I'm really bad at that kind of stuff - honest, I almost waited for Dan to come home and do it for me} and hot glued them together. If you go this route, I recommend making sure the fabric is glued tightly to the sides of each canvas. Just a suggestion.

Then I hung them on the wall next to a board that was given to us for our wedding. It works pretty well I think.

I just have to say, I am seriously in love with this paisley print. I don't usually love paisley but gosh. This print has found a nice cozy place in my heart.

And the big flower I made for the corner of the bottom canvas? Yeah, I love it, too. {I loosely - extremely loosely - followed the directions for making that here.}

This is a favored vase on mine. And it resides quite nicely on my bedside table. Right next to the card hubby gave me. Oh, and that necklace? He gave that to me, too. He's awesome like that.

Also, I am aware that there are two different bedspreads. The first one {with the roses and lace} my grandmother made for us for a wedding gift. It is beautiful and we have used it ever since we got married. But I recently decided I wanted something different and when I found the other bedspread for $20, I jumped on it. It is so bright and colorful and I love it. My grandma's bed spread is now on display on a quilt rack. In fact, you can kind of see the rack to the left this photo.


Ah, one wall down . . . . . . . . waaaayyy too many to go. :)
