Master Bedroom

I know I said that I'd have an outdoor update for you but it's not quite ready yet. It's coming though, I promise!

The Husband finished one of his projects so now I can share the Master Bedroom with you. So far I think the Master Bedroom is tied with the Kitchen for my favourite space in the house.

I really should have made the bed better before taking these. 

We bought the bookcase for the reading corner from Ikea. It's the Billy Bookcase if anyone is wondering, I just painted the back panel yellow. I measured on our house plans what size of bookcase we needed. I didn't take into account the thickness of our baseboard so the bookcase didn't fit. Oops. My brother in law is a carpenter and he assured me that they do this sometimes when they measure too. I don't feel as bad about it now.

The Husband took about a half inch off the bookcase section so it would fit. It still needs something though....oh yeah, some books would probably be good there.

We want to add some handles to the doors to fancy them up a bit too. And like every other room in our house it needs.....area rugs. I bet you all were on the edge of your seats on that one. I also want to put something else in that corner where our initials are. They were from our wedding but I think they are too short for that space.

So that's our little retreat. I love it, it is so cozy and relaxing. Plus the bed is super comfy even if it needs a few more throw pillows.

Spare Bedroom

Yikes! It's been awhile since I posted. I have been waiting very impatiently for The Husband to finish up some projects around here so I can keep going with the house tour but the projects just don't seem to get done. Hint hint hubby.

Anyways, lets move on the Spare Room shall we?

Like pretty much every other room in our house it still needs some work. Mainly an area rug. I actually have wall art to go in this room but that's pretty far down on the project list right now.

I absolutely love the curtains in this room.

This is the wall art we have for this room:

Right now it's on the floor leaning against the wall. That look just isn't working for me. I am debating whether or not I should refinish an old headboard that we have for this room or hang these pictures behind the bed instead. I am thinking the headboard and the pictures would be too much. 

Now that I am looking at these pictures something needs to go above the chair too. Hmm....

P.S. I might actually have an outdoor update for you soon! 

Family Room

When we were working on the plans for our house I wanted a large Family Room. Not because I want a large family but because I wanted a space that could grow with us. I wanted the space to be flexible. I  didn't want a room that was just big enough for our furniture and the appropriate amount of space to sit in front of the TV.

Right now it's just me and The Husband (and our dog, Jack, of course) so we have the space behind the couch set up as a games area. Our office isn't set up yet so we also use this space to work sometimes.

I wanted this room to have a fun. casual vibe. So I opted to go for some fun colors mixed in with some fun prints.

This space still needs some work. Like area rugs, end tables, wall art, etc. We also have a few bigger projects that need to get done in here. The entertainment unit is one of them...

Or maybe we should just leave it like this?

We also want to put stone or tile around the fireplace. And if you haven't noticed, I am conveniently not showing you the other side of this room. Right now it's storage for our stair rail that is still in progress. I don't know what we are going to do over there yet. Right now I am thinking maybe a storage trunk would be neat. I don't know, I'll keep you posted though!
