Ta-Da!

Back in March I wrote a blog talking about how I didn't like change but I loved the new changes in our house. I never did get around to posting what our "new" bedroom looked like all finished so I thought I would go ahead and post it. I still love the colors that we chose and I feel sooo relaxed in our bedroom now. I have even been sleeping better on our new mattresses so much so that David has said that I have started snoring some. Of course I totally believe it's because I am pregnant and my nose stays stuffy all of the time. Yesss, that's it!

This is what our bedroom looked like before....yes, boring and woodsy. I must point out that my hubby picked out the comforter. I hated it from the get go but was willing to sacrifice so that our room would look somewhat masculine.



AND this is what it looks like now!! I just love it and especially our sleigh bed!! For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a sleigh bed.







I don't know if you can see it clearly, but I bought some blue ribbon and tied it around the curtains to make tie-backs.


I know the walls are still bare, but I want to take my time in hanging the accessories. I tend to feel rushed to get things done sometimes and then look back and regret what I did and then it's too late, so I am taking my time on re-hanging things.

I feel like our bedroom is more "grown up~ish" now and has a good balance of masculinity mixed with femininity. Does that make sense?

Someone asked me on that previous post where we were sleeping while the room was empty and being painted. Well, we slept in Meggy's room. It was crazy! She has a single bed that we pushed up against the wall and then we put our king size mattresses on the floor and slept there while we waited on the painting and then to get our new furniture. Bless her heart she had no room in her room but she sure did love it that we were sleeping in there with her. She cried when we moved the mattresses out of her room. She missed us! Isn't that sweet?

Yes, we did downsize to a queen size bed and I love it! I don't feel so far away from David anymore. I like being able to get snuggy~wuggy(family term) with him. The only time it gets cramped is when one of the kids comes and gets in the bed with us but that doesn't happen too often. :)
