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.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

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...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom.  A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom.  Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
