Our Master Bedroom Reveal! Finally!

The big master bedroom reveal! I know I know I know, we've been living in the house 6 months and I still have not posted anything resembling a reveal of the rooms besides when it was empty and we first moved in! I'm sorry guys, you are allowed to throw tomatoes at me. The truth is I'm just not an interior designer so making the rooms pretty for pictures really stresses me out. I don't feel like I am any good at dressing rooms up at all but I guess this is how I learn! The other big thing that's stopped me from really posting the reveals is that the rooms really aren't "DONE" yet. But, like every blogger would tell me, they will never be done lol. So, without further delay let's take a trip down memory lane and see how far we've come!


Just check out that linoleum! If you look close you can see that there is an incredible amount of dead bugs on the floor, yes this was the longest abandoned and creepiest part of the whole house. It started where my grandparents were in this room and my aunt and mom were in the other room but as they grew up my grandparents moved downstairs and this became my aunt's bedroom. So, when she moved out, it pretty much never had anyone in it again and that was forty years ago!






This is my favorite place in the house, it feels like an escape, like a tree house, like our own private place and hideaway. Sometimes, I'll come up and sprawl out in the middle of the bed after work and just breathe the day away. No matter who is in the house, this is our floor, no one else is allowed up here and its a lovely reprieve. When Joe's son is here and I've had it up to my ears of the boys I can come up here to escape, take some girl time and recharge.






When we began our big renovation this is where we started gutting and I will never forget shoveling the ancient, filthy, absolutely horrible insulation, plaster and lath down the staircase! I was NEVER dirtier than I was that day! Hard to believe that under all of that were gorgeous hard wood floors!






Joe once went with me to pick out a lamp shade for a lamp makeover I did and walked directly to the only one out of thirty that I liked! I had another moment where I knew this was the man of my dreams when it came to the color we chose for the master bedroom. I had an inkling that because we would be running the bead board to the floor (essentially making half of the walls in the master bedroom white) I was going to want to go with a much darker color elsewhere simply because I could. All of these plans I was busy making silently, working them over in my head when, one day, Joe mentioned he thought a nice dark gray or blue would be good in the master. He looked at me hopefully, "Maybe?" I could only laugh and just nod. The color he thought of was exactly what I had been planning all along.
As always guys go check out the blog for lots more pictures and how we did it! Thanks for checking it out!
