Bedroom Redo

As if totally reconstructing the back garden from the ground up these recent weeks wasn't enough challenge for us, the E.M. (my British husband, the "English Muffin") and I have decided it's high time to revamp our bedroom: headboard, paint, window treatments, new carpet, new wall art, the whole shebang.

So far, we've chosen the new color --William Morris and Co's "Sage" the third square in the bottom row of three colors-- and have chosen a roman shade made from a heavy, taupe colored beautifully woven fabric, with a delicate, leafy vine pattern running through it. The headboard is "Ardo" from The Original Bedstead Comany. The radiator will even get a new 'do, with a lick of oil-based William Morris and Co's "Hemp" the second color in the bottom row of three squares. The new carpet we REALLY took our time to find, and have decided on a really SOFT, but really dense and durable pile. The carpet color is called "Hessian".





All of these elements in combination with our bedroom furniture set --all the pieces match! Who do we think we are, grown up, or something??-- give us the really organic, comfortable retreat look AND FEEL we've been wanting for our bedroom.





On to the wall art, now. We're talking about getting a large, wood framed mirror to go over the dresser and move our much loved forest triptych over our bed. Scattered on some of the other walls, though, we're talking about using some of our own photography and having our own loved and meaningful pictures of places we've visited put on canvas and set in the tiny nooks of the room. I seriously CANNOT WAIT to have the whole project completed so we can enjoy the space we've created together!





And speaking of completion, hopefully the fact that the carpet layers are coming to measure the bedroom this coming Monday will get our asses in gear for getting the bedroom painted and the shade installed over the window so when the carpet finally arrives, that will be the LAST MAJOR STEP in the bedroom project!



I'm getting tired just THINKING about all the work, but I seriously can't WAIT to get stuck in and get it all done!!
