Show Us Your Life - Master Bedroom

Kelly's Korner is hosting home tours every Friday.  This week is Master Bedrooms.  Our Master was one of the first rooms we painted when we we first moved in 2 1/2 years ago (the other being the girls' room, and we just finally got around to painting the living and dining rooms).  I love the red wall, but the other walls were supposed to be a dark beige (Eddie Bauer Oatmeal) but ended up having an olive-y green tint that I wasn't expecting.  It must just be the lighting in there because we used the same color in the living/dining rooms and there's no green tint at all.



Curtains are on the "to-do" list!  I have some (dark red), and a nice Pottery Barn rod, we just need to get around to hanging them!

TV armoire and door to Master Bath

I love the furniture.  It's from Dania and was our first major purchase together, a few months before our wedding.  I bought the bedding a year or two before we met, so it's been around 6 or 7 years and I'm starting to get a bit tired of it, but now that our wall is red I think it will be hard to find something new that will go with that wall!  I don't think Paul is going to want to re-paint anytime soon so we might be stuck with it for awhile.


This is where Kayley has napped for the last almost 2 years, so as not to wake Olivia or vice versa.  Now that neither of the girls nap any longer (and even if they did, at 2 1/2 she's obviously getting too big for the Pack and Play anyway and I'd have to come up with something else), I'd like to use this space for a little sitting/reading area with an armchair and lamp (in which case the cedar chest would be moved).

Beautiful space. I had the exact bedding for the longest time - it's gorgeous!!! We just recently redecorated, but I loved, loved that gorgeous bedding. Enjoy your space.

Luther Burbank Park

Last summer a friend of mine introduced me to this cool park on Mercer Island.  When we went, we only played at the swimming beach and never explored the rest of the park or played on the playground.  So yesterday, we finally went back with a picnic lunch and checked out some more of the park (there's still another section we didn't get to, so maybe next time).  The playground was really cool with all sorts of nooks and cranies, and old-fashioned metal slides and ladders.  They girls loved it. View from our picnic spot A pyramid with slides on the other side Lake Washington beyond Chair swings--never seen these before I-90 bridge over Lake Washington Trail along the lake leading to the swimming beach Should have brought swimsuits.  They were SO sandy and wet coming home.

First Day of 10th Grade

 Today was the first day of 10th grade for the girls.  Sophomores.  I can't believe we only have two more of these.  Not counting college, of course. Kayley Kayley again Olivia It has become my tradition to take the day before and the first day off.  Back in the elementary days, the day before the first day was "meet the teacher day", so I would always take them to that, then in middle school we would just go to lunch or get our nails done.  Last year was their first day of high school, though, so that day was orientation and that brings us up to this year.  The day before the first day is "Wildcat Day", which is mostly a freshman and new student orientation.  Olivia is in ASB so she had to go help with that, but Kayley didn't go.  Instead, her and I took some of her old clothes to this resale store called Plato's Closet to try and sell them (it's similar to a consignment shop except they just pay you then and there and then resell them, instead of o

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now I'm also
