Master Blaster Room Redo

Just a quick post to document our master bedroom overhaul. The paint color was really grating on me after we changed all the other paint in the house, and I've been wanting to change it almost since we moved in. But the paint color is limited by the furniture color, which limits the bedding, which also dominoes into changing the curtains, and that all seemed a bit much. The curtains actually drove this project because our back neighbors installed a super bright light that peaks over the fence right into our bedroom windows at night, affecting my sleep. The windows are recessed, but take up most of the wall, so our current, Granna-made curtains just couldn't cover the full expanse. We finally went for it, with the help of Labor Day sales! Once again, the kids were eager motivators, preppers, and painters. I love their helpful nature, even when we have to clean up paint from the floor more than once.

I really love the wall color (another variation on grey-green), the cliche "spa-like" feel we were going for, and I know we've had that bedding since at least 2005, so it felt pretty luxurious to get all new stuff! The curtains were a bit shinier than anticipated, but they do cover the whole window seat, so we'll live with them. The tray ceiling was another question mark, but I think it looks much better with the softer color, so I don't need to do anything fancy at this point. Last thing on the list is a rug to go under the bed, but no hurry on that. Now for the before-and-afters - forgive the lighting changes.

Ah yes, and it's really not done without throw pillows. Phew, we're good for another 15 years!
