Master Bedroom Before

The master bedroom is the last of all our rooms to have anything done to it.  I haven't done much at all, but I do have ideas.  I figured since I'm posting a before...There's going to have to be an after.  Right?  I'm hoping to get to our room after the kids start school.

Here's what it looked like last year before we moved in.

{Those walls are CORAL.  The previous owners left the paint in case we need to do any touch up work.  Um.  No thank you.}

Here's what it looks like today.  (Same wall as above.)

{The bed is centered on the wall, but not on the window.  I'm hoping I can "fix" that with a strategically placed curtain.}

This is what I'd like the bedroom to look like.  I love all the white woodwork, but we won't be painting ours any time soon.  I plan to keep the mirrors and our lamps and probably the bedding, but the furniture can go.  (We've had it 15+ years and before that it belonged to my parents!)  I'd love white nightstands and dressers and maybe a fabric covered headboard.  I've even thought about a small desk on the left side of the bed as a nightstand.

On the wall to the left of the bed I plan to hang something (white) to hang purses on.  I bought a small quilt rack/shelf at a yard sale for $5.  I painted it white and plan to hang this old quilt made by my grandmother.  I found this drawing of a bird in a bright yellow mat clearance at TJ Maxx and I've been thinking about hanging it up too.  I might also add a bit of yellow on the bed somewhere.  We'll see.  

I hope to have this room finished soon...I am so sick of waking up to those coral walls!!!
