Master Bedroom

I have been so busy since school started I have neglected my last project... {My Master Bedroom}

Last Christmas I bought a pot rack from

Southern Living at Home.

I have always wanted to hang it above our bed... with drapes.

This has been a project that I have wanted to do, but could never find the "right" drapes for my room. I wanted something airy, a color that went with the rest of my house (so I could move it to different parts of my house), and I did not want to pay a lot for it.

So, I looked...and looked....and looked..

Well.... I found something that would work perfect!

Here is the before picture:

Then, I took the plates down:

Hung the pot rack:

Here you go:

{I bought 6 yards of fabric, cut it in half, and then hung it up with safety pins}

I still have to search around for something to hang on the wall. I was so sad my wall piece "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" did not fit. I think I have seen a smaller one at our church bookstore.

This was VERY easy and quick transformation for our bedroom.

New School Year

This week my son, Tristan started 3rd grade.

It seems like yesterday he was born...how time flies!

This school year is special for several reasons:

he starts 3rd grade, I'm a stay at home mom, last year Deacon is at home with me (starts kinder next year), we get to eat lunch with Tristan any time, I take and pick up Tristan from school, and we are going to start riding our bikes to school soon... But, my FAVORITE part is being able to wake him up in the morning! I love walking in his room and laying by him to wake him up... watching his eyes open, him stretching, giving him a kiss, laying his clothes out, fixing his breakfast... I love it!

Here is my big boy!

I am truly blessed with these two boys!

Master Bedroom

I have been wanting to change my bedroom up for awhile now. When we moved in my husband and I painted the walls khaki with an accent wall chocolate brown {i used the same color for my bathroom cabinets}. The furniture pretty much has to stay the same...because of the wall space and size. So, really the only thing I can change is the wall behind my bed. I have had a metal piece {actually holds pots and pans} for about a year now that I have wanted to use in the room. Well, I FINALLY found material last week to use.

This is what it looks like now:

Come back to see how I changed it.

I better get to work!
