Our master bedroom is done...well 95% done. Still waiting on some black & white photos to get here for a photo wall I'm doing, but other than that it's DONE!! YAY!!
Here is the awful & dated bedroom before.....(sorry that's all the photos I could find of the before)
It was BAD, AWFUL...I KNOW!! So the first thing we did was sold all that golden oak aka orangy oak furniture. Bought new furniture...but made a few changes to the new furniture.
The new bed came like this.... with a brown faux leather padded inset in the headboard.
UGH...made the bed too dark in my opinion. So bought some linen fabric and reupholstered it.
Now it's PERFECT!
Next, hubby scrapped the popcorn (acoustic stuff) off the ceiling. Yay, was I glad to get rid of that! But, wait the drywall tape marks are showing now that the popcorn is off...YUCK! Guess whoever drywalled the ceiling didn't care about smoothing the tape lines out since they were covering it with popcorn. UGH! So I tell hubby that we should just cover the ceiling with beadboard. I said, "It will be easier than you having to patch and sand to smooth out those tape lines." Well long story short......it was not easier.....but Oh so much better!!! It adds so much charm and architectural interest to the ceiling!! 
(I would have preferred a capiz shell chandelier, but our bedroom is on the 2nd level and gets really hot up there so we really had to have a fan...so I chose this one by Hunter and really like it.
Oh and of course I have to mention the paint color on the walls which we love! It is Sherwin Williams called Utterly Beige and it is Utterly Fabulous in my opinion. No peachy or pink undertones like some beige/tan paint colors...it's just a perfect, cozy color!
Well as most of you know we are custom rug manufacturers so of course we had to have a custom rug in our bedroom, right?! I deceided I wanted just a touch of some animal print in the bedroom, so I designed a brown & white zebra rug to go under the bed and just peak out a little bit. This was not a quick rug to make as every zebra stripe was all hand cut and all inlaid by hand. All in all it took 12 hours to make, but it was worth it! What do ya think?
Ok, so without further ado......let me show you our new bedroom, follow me.

How do ya like my little touch of Christmas with the ice skate pillow? It was actually a stocking but it had all the colors of our room so I stuffed it and liquid sewed to top to make a pillow.
(I planned on painting these nightstands a creamy white, but now I'm not sure. Kind of like them black...what do ya think??) I'm thinking they will work since I'll have black frames for the black and white photos & the tv is black.
Took the blinds and drapes all the way to the ceiling to visually make the window appear larger.
I LOVE the colors in our room...so calming & relaxing!
Well hello Kitty!
Can't wait for my paperwhites to bloom! But for now, have some petunias in an aqua ball jar.
Just look at that lovely beadboard ceiling and crown molding! Thanks hubby!
Look at the feature hubby did.....yes, there are lights under the bed. So we have a bed that glows at night with the touch of a button. Pretty cool, huh?!
Antique mirror we bought from a garage sale.
Ok, so that's the tour. I'll show you the photo wall when I get it done. Now, I'm going to go enjoy my bedroom.Take Care!
