Master Bedroom

I am noticing that paint colors do not show up very well in photos--at least mine. Here is the master bedroom. This paint color--Glidden's Natural Linen--is my absolute favorite that I've chosen. We got the bedroom set from my husband's mother--she had it when she was a child. I was a little worried that the black furniture wouldn't look good with my tan and brown theme, but I decided to go with it and I think it looks pretty good. I can at least stand it until I can someday afford a brand new set.

Brown curtains from Ikea. I'm glad I could still use them since I bought them before I knew what I was doing with the rest of the room. The sheer panel was just a few bucks from Walmart. I originally planned on blinds, but this was a less expensive alternative.

We decided to down-grade to my queen size bed because it fit better than the king. I'm glad we haven't noticed too much of a challenge sharing a smaller space.

I've been looking for a bed set for a long time, but could never find anything that caught my eye for the right price. Just in time, though, my husband found this set at Sam's Club. It was a huge bargain and I love it. It matches the paint perfectly and has a nice neutral, calm feeling. I also love green.

I love this lamp. It was my husband's grandmother's. The lamp shade is a bit dated (and dusty) but I can't seem to find a replacement. I am considering re-covering it. It seems like people do that fairly often and I know there are online tutorials.

We still need new sheets that match, but I figure I can't buy everything I want right away--although it's tempting.
