Master Bedroom Before and After

The room we choose for our master is on the second floor. We have two bedrooms on the second floor and one on the first. With plans to use the first floor one as an office, we went to work on the upstairs bedroom. The major problem with this room was that it seemed small and it was very dark. It measures 13 by 14 and fits our queen bed so we figured it would work until we had funds for adding on a garage with a master suite above it. This bedroom was painted baby blue with navy blue on the bottom and had a wallpaper boarder for the North Carolina Tarheels. Not quite our style. We pulled it down and spent hours filling pinholes in the wall. We choose a purple grey color from Sherwin Williams called Daydream, and accented with silver curtains and crisp white bedding. We also  lined a wall with espresso closetmaid modulars. Let me just say, I love these things. When we lived in a tiny apartment we gave up our bedroom set (which was a hand-me-down) and purchased a bunch of the closetmaid modulars so we could take advantage of the height without taking up much floor space. Through two moves these things have never been in the same configuration, but that's what I love about them. They are so versatile we use them in the office as bookshelves, in the living room as a media console and as end tables, even in the bathroom in place of a linen closet, and we also have them in closets. The espresso ones have a nice finish to them and we jazzed ours up with real hardware instead of the plastic ones that they come with. I also added some cute bins and baskets, and voila! Tons of storage that is flexible to your needs, easy to move and you only give up a foot of floor space along a wall. The major improvement to our bedroom makeover was the installation of a new huge window. This opened the room up immensely. It was probably our best money spent on this house so far.  Now I want to add windows everywhere.
