Bedroom Edition

I've been working on the bedroom for forever.

This is what it looked like before. We had painters come and paint the interior of our home back in the beginning of April. I decided on two different shades of blue for the bedroom (khaki for the bath) as opposed to the green and LIME green (you can see a close up if you click on the picture) that was in the bathroom.

At an antique mall in Marietta, I found not one but TWO of these headboards from Pier One. One is in our bedroom, the other is in the guest bedroom. (Bad iphone picture quality here.)

I was delighted to see in the latest edition of WestElm had this headboard for $399 plus $75 for shipping! I got TWO of them for under the cost of shipping alone. I felt like I had "considered a field and bought it" that day ;)
I wish we had gotten before shots of all the furniture. Two of the pieces looked like this before and two of them were a dark cherry.



We replaced the knobs to match and found a great deal at Home Depot.


I have yet to put the knobs on this one...

I couldn't get a good picture of this but you get the idea.

Our bedroom always seems to be the last room to get attention. It's finally a place of rest and relaxation for us (okay, more for me :)! Yea!

Your favorite song, right?!

Thanks for the pics. I love seeing before and afters. Also just wanted to say one of the books under the night stand made me laugh: I don't have a headache tonight. Clever title.
