A Masterful Transformation

When we moved into our house, we knew every room was going to need some serious attention.  Almost every room in the house was covered with dated, thick carpet.  Fortunately, two of our bedrooms didn't have carpet, including the master.  But all was not well.  The floor had seen better days and the walls were covered with PAINTED wallpaper...

The trim was a dark brown and the closet doors' louvred style was definitely not our style.  So we decided to refinish the floors in a darker, more contemporary stain and paint all of the trim white

We painted the walls a light blue and I changed out all the dirty, beige outlets and switches with new white ones (about $1 a piece). 

Next were the closet doors.  They were a dark brown louvred style.  For about $50, I bought a new set of primed, MDF doors and two brushed nickel knobs at Home Depot.  A coat of white paint and they really completed the room

So now that we had our beautiful, grown up room, we needed some beautiful, grown up furniture.  This is where we splurged.  We always wanted a king bed, and saw one on sale at Basset Furniture.  Two dressers, two nighstands and a mattress later, we had the bedroom of our dreams

Let me tell you, last night was one of the best nights sleep I have had in a long time.  Sweet Dreams..
