Master Bedroom and Bath Before and After

There really isn't anything more exciting than before and after pictures, so here is my recent makeover of our master bedroom and bath.

BEFORE

AFTER

 All the walls were give a board and batten treatment to add some architectural elements to the room, and add texture and "character" in this pretty boring room. The yellow paint was happily painted over with Clark + Kensington's White Knights.

Our plan was to mount the tv to the wall above the dresser but sadly where our outlets are it was not possible to do unless the electrician went under the house. We may do that someday but are putting that on the back burner right now.

BEFORE

New drapes were added to lighten up the room, and woven shades were added for texture and privacy. Note the drapes are hung much higher giving the illusion along with the board and batten of higher ceiling.
New side table were added again for texture and more of an airy, beach-y feeling.
Also, an upholstered headboard was added and a few new pillows.

Amazing what a difference there can be if you just clean up. Lol!

You may notice I had a slipcover on my desk chair in the before shot, and not in the after shot. Sadly, at the 12th hour of redoing this room, I decided to try and dye the slipcover blue. It.turned.purple!!

I am going to go back and try again with a darker blue and hopefully, crossing fingers I'll be able to save it. If you've had something like this happen to you and have advice, please help.

 The clutter of leftover mirrors and other miscellaneous items that became the dumping ground were put in a proper place and I brought in a new chair.

 Treadmill is still here, and frankly even if we did move it out into the garage I don't know what I put in it's place. I mean how many chairs can a room have? So this is where it shall remain... I think...

 Such a difference huh?

Despite the work of the board and batten treatment, this was such a quick makeover. It truly is amazing what paint can do for a room. Don't you agree?

I haven't gotten good shots of the bathroom/shower area yet, but will share those with you when I do. It's hard shooting a small space.

I will also do another post on the board and batten soon.
