Master Bedroom #3

This is the third time I have posted our master bedroom on this blog and the funny thing is that they have each been different master bedrooms -- and ours.  Ugh, we move too much (and I think we're catching the bug again).  

Anyway, this is the middle of the "before."  

I thought it would be such a great idea to get wooden letters and put a saying above the bed.  Listen, I'm not a vinyl on walls fan and this was just barely a step above that so I nixed it.  

Here's the final "after" pic.  Pardon the low quality phone photo.  I decided to go with pictures on a piece of wood that I painted.  The pictures are all black and white of me and my husband on various vacations that we have taken.  

The former owners of this house left their curtains and I hate everything about them.  Sure my bedroom is a mess (we were just moving in) but the brown curtains that cover the window make it look like a dungeon.

Here's a little tip for you:

And that is, in my opinion, much much better.

 I would even raise them more if the curtains were longer but doesn't it make the window look so much bigger?  And I know this picture doesn't show the whole room but the room looks a lot bigger with the lighter color.

PS  Remember how I mentioned my anti-love for vinyl on walls?  Well, look what the former owners left for us right there where it's almost impossible to get to without a ginormous ladder.
