Master Bedroom Past and Present

Last night, I came across some old photos of my master bedroom and it got me thinking about what I have done to the room over the years, and what I would like to do to the room in the future.

In case you haven’t been by to visit, this is what my bedroom looks like now:

Here is a shot showing more of the room (before I changed the lampshades.)

But when we moved in from our one bedroom condo about 12 years ago, this is how the room looked:

Yeah, it was looking quite pathetic that year!

The dresser was so tiny and sad looking!

Since then, I have added window treatments:

Although I am already thinking of changing the ticking striped curtains to a blue and white buffalo plaid!

I do love my woven shades though. They are staying.

I replaced my old bed with this British Colonial Bed.  This is definitely a keeper!

I think Ethan Allen even calls this the “Island Bed”.  How perfect for me!

Not all the furniture is from Ethan Allen, but it flows together pretty well without looking like I tried to match it and failed…well I hope it doesn’t look that way!

.My goal was to keep the bed inviting and casual although the down comforter can look a little sloppy at times!

I like the way the new lampshades stand out against the Linen White walls.

Gotta love Pottery Barn…

I wanted a seating area for this corner, although I wish I went with a slipcovered chair instead.
I don’t know that I will want blue in this room forever. Though, I am happy I added all the live plants.  They help clean the air and they go with my slightly tropical feel.  With my black thumb, I can’t believe I have kept them alive this long!

I haven’t gotten tired of my shell pillows yet.

Yes –  Pottery Barn from a few years ago.

Originally, I wanted a ceiling fan in here because that’s what they usually have in the islands.

Now I kind of want to change it to a lantern of some sort.

Here is the entrance to the master bathroom with the master closets on either side.

I hope you enjoyed the tour!

I still would love to rip out the carpet and put in hard wood floors, get some more (or bigger) artwork and change the bed linens.  But I guess I am happy for now…especially when I look back at the old pictures!

  6. You have such a pretty master! It has come a long way since that before picture! I actually love the window treatments, but I'm sure whatever you change them to would be just as great! Those lamp shades are amazing and I love the casual feel your entire room has – mission accomplished! So glad you linked up to Roomspriation!
