Master Bedroom Before and After

The Master Bedroom has already undergone a huge transformation since we purchased the house. It is the only room in which we added carpet. We painted the walls "cement gray" which sounded horrendous to most of the people I told this to, but has proven to be an acceptable choice for the time being.

BEFORE:
AFTER:
I think I have finally found curtains to complement this strange paint shade and our ivory duvet. Rachel Ashwell as seen on Brabourne Farm. The Silk Trading Co. seems to have this same soft lilac shade. Now I just have to decide if each single width window requires one panel or two.

Bare Guest Bedroom

After finding a perfect dresser and nightstand for our 2nd guest bedroom I decided to go ahead and post pictures of the room in its current state.

2nd Guest Bedroom Before We Moved-in:
This bedroom is opposite the master at the end of the hallway. It has a front and side view allowing for plenty of natural light. The first photo was taken while entering the bedroom from the hall. The floor length window here faces the front yard and one of the giant magnolia trees (as well as some slightly out-of-control shrubbery).
Turning clockwise around the room. We have the bed oriented differently than the previous owners for the time being.
The side facing window wall.
Looking back into the hallway.Like most rooms in our home, this one needs lots of work. Currently it looks like an Easter egg with my freshman year twin-size comforter, aloe green sheets and baby blue walls. The floors need to be refinished. The deep redish hue is a result of years of wear and old oil cleaning products. Someday we will add a decorative register cover. One change we did make when we moved in was to repaint the room. This was more complicated than it sounds since the walls had been painted with some sort of sand texture added in.
Curtains, linens, and a headboard will make this room more inviting while interesting accessories, secondary lighting and fresh flowers will complete the room.

Video Home Tour: Before

Want to see how the house looked before we moved in? Check out the video home tour: http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?sk=29&t=1967171
*Note* it looks better than it was! As I described the house to a co-worker the day after we made our offer "it's a mixed bag."
