Master Bedroom---Done....well pretty much

Okay, so when we got here, I hated the color of most of the rooms, they were a very neutral grayish type color.  So, my plan was the paint the master bedroom red (always wanted it to be red) and then get some white furniture, new bedding set, etc. 

But one day I was flipping through a Macy's add and saw a GORGEOUS Martha Stewart set on sale (normally $400, got it for $90!).  I loved the set and it matched the current color of the walls in the room, so I decided in an effort to save time and money, I'd keep the current wall color, keep the current furniture and just put red accents in the room instead.  Here's what I got....

View from doorway, looking at bed. Just need to get a storage ottoman for foot of bed and a headboard (got my eye on both right now)

View from doorway straight into room.  **Weird how my camera makes things look small.  This room is HUGE

View back to hallway/closets

View from bed looking at bathroom (left), Tim's dress clothes closet (middle) and door to hall (right)

Like I said, I still have to get a storage ottoman and a headboard, but the room is entirely finished otherwise!  Nice to be getting there :)

Been a while....

Its been a while since I've updated this.  I wasnt quite sure if anyone was reading it or not, but I figured I'd update it and keep reminding our family in South Carolina that this is how they can keep up with us.  A lot has happened in the last 6 months to a year.....here goes the quick version.

**Tim quit the Army in Sept 2011
**We started house hunting in Ohio, looking to settle down
**Cooper turned 1 in November 2011
**We got a house, we lost the house (loan issues), we got the house, waited to close on the house....boom, we have a house
**Moved into the house March 1, 2012 in Sylvania, Ohio
**Taylor turned 4 on May 4


And we're having a ball being back home.  Missing our family in South Carolina, but hopefully we'll get to see them soon!
