Master Bedroom, Fall 2011.

Overall, the master bedroom hasn't changed too much. The bed has 'real' art above it, with a frame I stripped and gold leafed. FYI, gold-leaf on a frame with a lot of deep grooves is a PITA. I gave up trying to get total coverage and left some of the wood showing through. We moved the IKEA bookcase into the office, and in its place is the dresser that matches the awesome vanity.

Summer Bedding.

Well the weather is finally staying warm, and the overnight low is in the sixties instead of the forties now, so it was time to switch out the down comforter for something less heavy.

I picked up a quilt set at IKEA. I like it, but obviously it's too long for our platform bed. The smaller size does not fit a queen, so it was this or nothing :)

Master Bedroom - January 2011

We made some small updates to the master bedroom. The biggest update is the addition of a rug. It has an oversized paisley pattern.

Sneak Peek.

My husband and I had to drive to Waco to drop off a foster dog on his way to a new foster/potential adoptive home, and we decided to check out the Antiquibles Dog Museum. It's pretty amazing. They have ~60 different vendors, so there's a lot of stuff. I was seriously tempted by a set of four amber glass moon-and-star canisters, but I wouldn't know what to do with them and thus was loathe to part with $40.



I did however find a glass power line insulator that was unique from the ones I already have, as well as a set of mounted deer antlers and this awesome cross-stitch of an Egyptian jeweled scarab. If you look, you can see on the left edge of the picture there's a rug under my trunk now (as well as my red Toms). We've made some updates to the master bedroom, which I will get around to posting soon.

The (previous) Master Bedroom.

I dug up the old photos from the online house tour when our house was for sale. As we complete more, I plan on posting the old pictures also. The old owner's style was much more contemporary/traditional while we are more vintage/modern.

We also discovered while painting the master that it was painted dark burgundy at some point. I am so glad they painted over it before we bought the house.

The Master Bedroom.

Hello. My husband and I bought our first house last July, and inherited some awesome vintage furniture from his side of the family back in March. It's not quite 'finished', but then, it never is.
