Hey y'all! It's a gorgeous Sunday morning here in Nashville. I LOVE fall here. Although the weather hasn't quite changed yet, I know it's coming and that makes me so happy! Time to get out my fall decorations.
So, I know I said I would write again "tomorrow"...but the very next day I got a crazy email from my boss that they needed me in New York for help on a project! So, all last week I was in NYC. We worked a lot and I actually got a chance to see a lot of the city and even New Jersey; it was a whirlwind to say the least!
Billy and I were talking and he thought it would be a good idea to have pictures of our house for insurance purposes, and it gave me a good reason to get off my lazy butt and take some pictures, and then post them here as promised. I'm actually going to work from the BACK of our house and move forward.
Today, let me show you our master bedroom. The fact that it was actually clean is a miracle in itself, so please enjoy!
Master Bedroom
Sitting area to the right of the bed
Area to the left of the bed. Door on the right is the walk-in closet;
door on the left is the bathroom.
View from the left side of the room.
Vanity and "throne" in the bathroom.
Take a shower, you smell like New Jersey!
- a funny quote from my new work friend from last week's project
Storage and stuff. I can't believe I put this on here!
The paint color is Behr's Quiet Moment, but my friends and I have affectionally dubbed it "Adult Blue". I'm seriously thinking about painting--I want the room to have a peaceful spa-like airy quality, and I'm just not getting that with the "adult blue", and it really doesn't flow with the rest of the house. Maybe I've been spending too much time in hotels, because I really want something light and neutral and clean, much like a hotel room. Some favorites right now are Martha Stewart's Spring Melt for the bedroom and maybe Whetstone Gray for the bathroom. I also like Behr's Ivory Mist. I think we'll try to pop over to to the HD today and get some samples.
The furniture (bed, side tables, and chest of drawers) are all from Haverty's, the Marseille bedroom collection.
The bedding is from Crate & Barrel, the Lindsey Paisley Bed Linens. It's actually on sale right now!
Accessories:
- Lamps on the side tables, curtain rods--World Market
- Curtains--JC Penny (I think! I've had them for a while so I don't really remember!)
- Long mirror over the couch--TJ Maxx Home Goods
- Small round table was my grandmother's
- Metal candle-holder over the bed--Pier 1.
- White shelves in bathroom--Target, from my college apartment.
- "Art" in bathroom, small white bud vases--Ikea
So, there's that. Like I said, I have some plans to change things up in there. If we had the time and the money, I would gut the bathroom and start over--or at least fix some of the things that bother me. We fell in love with the slate tile in the shower when we saw the house and do still love it, but there are other things about the bathroom that are just not functional. Maybe the BG will let me mix it up a bit...yeah, probably not!
