Progress In The Bedroom (no, not that kind of progress)

Get your minds out of the gutter, people.

This is my work-in-progress master bedroom. Here is the bed all made up and looking pretty (except the wrinkled sheets - my days of ironing bed linens are long gone).

{I'm so in love with this Chipendale chest of drawers - it's an antique I found on Craig's List for pennies!}

I'm liking the way the room is coming along, but it's still not totally complete yet and it has a few issues that need to be dealt with.


One of the issues being the headboard. While I loved it at one time (in a previous house where most of our furnishings were more modern) it's not cutting it for two reasons. First, it's just too short in height and second, it's not comfortable to lean my head against in order to read.

I've ordered this headboard from Tar-jay (crossing my fingers that I like it in person).

This is a sad little wall that I'm not sure how I'm going to address. Maybe once the new headboard arrives, I will put the large art piece above the bed and the picture grouping on the opposite wall? Who knows? There isn't enough clearance for any furniture. Suggestions?

Another issue the room has is a lack of a ceiling light fixture.

This light fixture is just waiting for the electrician to install it.

I ended up stealing these lamps from our living room and getting new larger scaled lamps for that room. Crystal lamps and roses make me happy.

I also had some store credit at Pottery Barn burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to order this white duvet (which is on sale - wooo!).

I think after all of these modifications, I may just be done with this room...for now.
