I thought that I wouldn’t do anything with it until I could talk my husband into letting go of his matchy, matchy bachelor furniture. Here we are a year later, he’s still not convinced to let it go. I’m tired of waiting so I’m going to make the best of what’s already here.
-
paint (gray tone of some sort)
-
update bedding
-
new curtains (I’m thinking simple, plain white drapes)
-
add art above nightstands
-
replace or cover lights on ceiling fan (I’d love a chandy, but this chick needs a fan on at night)
-
add settee in front of window (it’s already pretty cramped in here, so might not work)
-
talk husband into at least switching out the bed (I’m thinking a tufted wingback headboard with nail head trim)

-
switch out pillows (I’m not even sure what I want)
-
move my secretary desk out of the master to the living room and turn into bar (I blame this one on Jessamie’s recent post – I can’t stop thinking about it and it’s all your fault Jessamie!)
-
do something fun above the tv (you’ve never seen this wall because it’s booorrrring)

-
add crown molding
-
make white slipcovers for side chair seats (because bleach is a beautiful thing)
-
refinish table top (Our dog scratched it to pieces not long after it was first refinished 7 years ago. Man, time flies!)
Since this photo was taken the kitchen has been repainted the same Revere Pewter as the living room and dining room.
- switch out island fixture for pendants
- switch out table chandy
- replace iron desk chair for a stool that will tuck away
- switch out island stools
- get rid of the FAMILY sign above the cabinets (I’m actually on that right now. I forgot it was up there until I saw this photo.)

I’m getting started on my bedroom this week. I’m determined to get somewhere with it this year. Maybe once I feel better about it I’ll actually make the bed everyday. Yes, I’m that person 😉

Newesti am looking forward to seeing it all! you have such great style and i love your inspiration pictures!
We haven't finished our master bedroom either..mainly because its just messy now. I can't wait to see what you do and I love the inspirational photos!
Ok, three points to discuss:
#1- Thanks to death for the shout out! I'm so glad I can place my wants upon other's, haha!
#2- I'm with you 110% on not touching those nasty-ass socks of theirs.
#3- I love that you called yourself out on the potty seat. I'm pretty sure G's made it's blog debut a while back too!
But seriously, I can't wait to see all the changes. Slow and steady!
That is a doozy of a list — and I can't wait to see it all!!!
Can't wait to see you tackle these projects. I need to make my list soon. I would love for you to come and link this up to my Winter Blues Wednesday party that opens tonight at 8pm EST. Hope to see you there.
