Sweet Release

Our master bedroom used to look similar to this. This picture was taken at our old house, but the bed was the same.



It all started with this old, ugly, and broken ceiling fan. This ceiling fan (and I'm not a fan of ceiling fans), coupled with this four poster bed, and a small 1930's master bedroom just wasn't right. So first we changed the light out.



We wanted an old cast iron bed frame, but they're some serious $, so we found something we were happy with on craigslist for a very small fraction of the price. I found the nightstands at Marshalls for cheap, and they were damaged, so I talked another 20% off the price and fixed them myself. We also found the lamps there, again very reasonable.



We decided to go with white drapes (Target), and we got the rug at the Oriental Rug Shop on Warrensville. I was able to get them to throw this one in with the purchase of our living room rug, which I also talked down quite a bit. Not too shabby.



I know the bedroom lacks color, but my days feel so overstimulated as it is, I just wanted a place at the end of the day where I could feel the soothing relaxation of quitting time. The pictures don't do justice to the feeling. It truly has the comfort and charm of a Bed and Breakfast and the light and airy feel makes the room seem much bigger than it is. Ahh, I love sleep.
