Project Master Bedroom ...Progression

You may remember a tweetphoto if you follow me on twitter of the mirror I originally bought for above our mantel but when I got home realized it was a far better fit as a pair in the master bedroom {also mentioned here} and since this was the only one available instore, I wondered where I would find another one. But not for long ...soon after, a most adorable & thoughtful reader named Stephanie emailed me a link to the same exact mirrors on the QVC website ...which were available for HALF what I paid. Since I needed two, I immediately ordered both online then promptly returned the original mirror for a refund ...equalling the exact amount of both. Thank you Stephanie!






...late afternoon reflection on the ceiling is my favorite. It turns to blue soon after this






...looking for a perfect cozy chair for this corner...













...remember my knob dilemma? I decided to just use the vintage glass knobs I already had ...which I also used to hang my necklaces on in my dressing room/office







I chose red flowers just to see if I wanted a contrast color in the room. Flowers are an easy way to get a pop of color without committing because, obviously, they die. And while I do like the bit of red contrast, I think I prefer the large leafy look seen in my first bedroom post.





While things are seemingly coming together in our master bedroom and the feeling is quite tranquil, I still feel like I'm in the gathering stage of decor. I'm liking the elements but they're not quite right just yet. I'd love a comfy chair in the corner, a garden stool, two tall leafy plants for either side of the window looking out to the pool, and art or framed photographs, something for either side of the rustic dresser. I may also be inclined to find another smaller plush rug or rugs to lay on top of the carpet remnant. I dunno. It's still a work in progress, as is every room it seems but I'm happy with it for now.
