Home Updates IV

10 months later, we've finally started working on our master bedroom. From the beginning this room was our lowest priority so it's been neglected since we've moved in. Well, we finally took the first step earlier this month to tackle this room - we purchased a new bed!   And not just any new bed - A KING SIZE BED! Even for a family of small people, we are all so excited about this, especially Charlie. Yes, I hate that we never broke this habit but Charlie sleeps in our bed {like a person} between us, head on pillow, body under covers.  Does this really surprise you though? He has his own bedroom and 3 dog beds throughout the house, but still refuses to sleep anywhere else at night.    Anyway, the before picture:

I hesitate to even label this next photo as an "after" picture because this is just the first baby step towards progress. The new bed...

 We fell in love with the Kincaid Pencil Post Bed awhile back, but with a $2,000 price tag we put this purchase on major hold! A few months later I found this bed on Craigs List for $280. Yes, two hundred and eighty dollars. Brand new, in the box, never opened. The guy who sold it to us owns a furniture store in Hickory and was happy to sell it to us right out of his warehouse. Score!

The only problem with purchasing the bed in my favorite color? We forgot the walls were painted the exact same color. Oops. We're still trying to figure out what color furniture to get to offset the overly taupeness of this room. Like I said, work in progress!   We also made some major changes to our entry way!

 After we added the wainscoting, we purchased the Everett Foyer Table on sale from World Market, added some custom burlap prints from Fiber And Water, placed a tree from Home Depot in the corner and styled the table with our fall decor.

I am so happy with how it turned out!

Stay tuned for more house updates to come!
