Show Us Where You Live Fridays: Master Bedrooms!

Well, here is another fun week brought to you by Kelly Stamps from Kelly's Korner with Show Us Where You Live Fridays!

This week's theme is MASTER BEDROOMS!

I will just start this post by saying that I {heart} my Master Bedroom! It is the ONE room in this house that is technically "complete" as far as the building process goes. ALL of the moldings, trim, shoe moulding, paint, flooring, everything is done.

When we were choosing the plans for our house, hubby had a couple of specific requests for our Master Bedroom:

1. Be separate from all the other bedrooms
2. Be on the same side of the house as the garage.

Hubby works for a utility company and often works very odd hours. With the Master being "away" from the rest of the house, he hoped it would cut down on the noise of him coming in and out in the middle of the night. The thing that he didn't count on is his obsessive nature to check on the kids about 1000 times at night while they are sleeping, especially when leaving for work or coming home from work. Now, he just has to march ALLLLLLL the way through the house with his heavy work boots on....lol!

So, with that back story out of the way, here are pictures of our Master Bedroom!

I made the "art" behind the bed. It is nothing more than Styrofoam, scrapbook paper, and ribbon. It looked great, but does not hold up to moisture that well.... I will share a more about that a little later. The lamps and mirrors are from Kirkland's, and the bedside tables are from Target. We are definitely on a BUDGET with this house!


The comforter set and curtains, believe it or not, came from Wal-Mart. I saw this set in a magazine insert WAAAAAAY before we started building the house. I think the week we were approved for the loan, I went out and bought this set. I had a tough time finding the curtains, but with some searching, I eventually found just enough. I LOVE this set! It looks SOOOO expensive but cost very little!

This is an updated picture of the curtain over the french door.

I found the chair at a local discount furniture store. It only cost $70.00 new! It is really comfortable and I love that it is a little bit "funky!"


This is a great shot of our floors. They are Brazilian Walnut. A pain in the bootie to lay, but they look fantastic!

A view of the lights and ceiling. After living with the lights for a while, I think we definitely need a larger light fixture...but as everything else, that will have to wait a while longer.

Trust me...you don't wanna go in there.....


We don't have anything on this wall yet. I am waiting for hubby to finally paint our dresser and move it here.

I will probably be waiting a LOOOOOOONG time.

OK, like I said earlier, the "art" that I made that was above the bed (yes, I said WAS), looked really good when we first put them up....but after a year of LONG, HOT showers with the vent not on, and the bathroom door left open, it started taking a toll on the scrapbook paper, and the adhesive we had used to hold them up.

First, it started to look like this:


Nothing like getting hit in the face in the middle of the night by a piece of Styrofoam to make the heart race!

THEN, one day I came in and found THIS:


I knew at that time they had to GO!

But what could I put there now?

So, I dug into my inspiration file and found THIS picture:



I just LOVE the look of the mat-less picture frames!

The only problem with them was the cost....most were around $20.00 EACH! When you need a large number of frames, that is NOT an option when you are on a TIGHT BUDGET! So, I kept looking around, and eventually found these at Wal-Mart:


They are only $4.00 EACH!! Now THAT'S a bargain!!

Instead of putting florals in my frames, I decided I would really like black and white photos of my kids. So, I quickly picked and printed 12 of my most favorite pictures. I got them framed and decided what order I wanted them in, and......


That's as far as it has gotten!

UGH!

I have been patiently waiting for dear, sweet hubby to hang them for me, but he's still not gotten around to it. We even picked out very specific wall anchors to use to hang them, but that box is still unopened.

**sigh**

I was REALLY hoping to have them up by today's post, but for now, I guess we will all have to use our IMAGINATION.

****EDITED TO ADD.... I actually finished the frameless picture frame project! Go to THIS POST to see!!****

Well, that's my Master Bedroom!

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoyed my little tour and I hope you will come back again soon!

And now, head on back to Kelly's Korner and look at all of the other WONDERFUL and GORGEOUS bedrooms!!
