Years ago, back when my blog was just a wee little thing, I made a bed crown for our master bedroom.  I wanted to make our cheap mattress on a metal frame look more important and high-end.  And, it doubled as camouflage for a doorway that made arranging furniture in the room awkward. And here it was… This is sort of like looking at an old year book photo! This was before blog beauty shots had to be beautiful and when revealing a finished project with fabric wrapped around pillows and wrinkled bedding was completely okay.   And this was my phase when I decided to forsake blue and give aqua a try.  Which didn’t last very long, so the bed crown, that I pestered Jeff to hang and I was so elated over, soon became something I wanted out of my house.

It also occurred to me, as I was even dragging out bins of Christmas decor and planning on buying a live tree and figuring out how to strategically hang fabric to make it look like I’ve made curtains already, that I need to give myself a break. So, instead of playing with my room like a life-sized doll house just for the sake of pretty pictures, I’m going to share how the room looks now and share my plans for it.  And there’s not one bit of Christmas decor. The first thing about this room is that it’s
