But, actually, I think I have good ideas, I just don't know how to execute them.
The Mister and I recently bought my mother's old house, the house I lived in when I went to high school, the house that my mother bought in 1990 and barely changed since. Besides new carpets in the downstairs and a new coat of paint in the master bedroom, the house was exactly the same as when I moved out almost 20 years ago. Before we moved in, we redid the kitchen, but that's a post for another day.
We don't care too much about the extra two bedrooms, but we really want to fix up the living/dining room, the bathrooms, and especially the master bedroom.
Here's what it looks like now. Please keep in mind that we haven't done a single thing to the room besides bring our stuff in.
Celery green walls. Barf. A carpet that is somewhere between lavender and periwinkle. Double barf. I do love our quilt, though.
I have this old rocking chair that used to be my mother's when I was a baby. For the sake of full disclosure, I'm showing you what it looks like in its usual state, i.e. covered in my clothes. Don't judge me.
The Mister's ugly old dresser is in the corner, along with a $5 mirror that I propped against the wall. My own dresser is in my walk-in closet, which is a story for another day.
But here's a peek. Again, don't judge my mess.
Using my limited Photoshop skills, I put together a mockup of how I'd like the room to look.
But the floor. The floooooooor. We just don't have the money to get rid of that heinous carpet right now, so we'll need to live with that for another year or so.
And for now, I'll dream of the day when our bedroom will look like this.
What does your bedroom look like? And do you have any suggestions for ours?
