Master bedroom love.

This really is the slowest renovation in history, but that's okay.  I'm learning patience. 

The dressers only took three weeks to finish!  ONLY.  Ha.  The bulk of the work was done in about five or six hours - just sanding down imperfections, roughing up the surface and then applying a coat of primer and two coats of white paint.  Then hubby applied some spray paint lacquer that didn't take well (think stripes of lacquer) so he applied some polyurethane over it.  The hardware was perfect as is (to me) so nothing was needed there.  I can't believe I forgot a before picture of these suckers, but I did.  Trust me when I say they were in bad shape!

So here we are now.  The bedroom is getting better, slowly but surely.





We still need a headboard, some floating bedside tables, some pretty fabric-covered cornice boxes on the windows like we did in Adalyn's room so that I can drop the curtains to the floor and some wall art.  We have a rug, it just hasn't been moved in yet.  I'm now debating changing the bedset/wall color.  Now that I've moved the dressers in the room and am seeing it come together, I think I might be okay keeping the gray paint because it works well with our bedset/curtains.  I don't know.  I'm the most indecisive person alive, so my mind will change 85 times before this project is done.  We'll see!

Well, that's everything for now.  :)

  1. Chelsea-I think everything looks great so far! The dressers seem to match perfectly with your duvet cover and curtains. Are you thinking your light blue color for wall art/accent pieces?

  2. It's looking great!! My master bedroom renovation is going about 1/8 as fast as you - LOL. I'm doing a similar theme - black and white, crisp and clean, with organic greenery (like wheat grass, etc.) to accent with color.

  3. maybe it's a black and white trend going on right now because we have a white duvet cover with black and green flower accents and then black currents with white flowers on them and i'm looking at painting the walls gray :) i kinda like the contrast of modernity with our old fashioned wood furniture
